For all the Monaghan fans waiting for the new Nora Goes Off Script, I present to you: Dolly All the Time.
I frigging adore Annabel Monaghan, and I can recommend any of her books. Any of them, seriously—you won’t be sorry you read them. She’s got that something special that just makes summer romances sing.
In this case, single mom, Dolly, who is supporting her father (and younger brother) and trying to save his business while juggling all of her other responsibilities, almost literally stumbles into an unconventional and highly lucrative opportunity to pose as the girlfriend of a hot millionaire.
It might sound trite and tropey, but remember? This one has music.
The heart behind it is beating like, we, too, are falling in love. When a book is this immaculately put together, it’s almost impossible to tease apart the threads to identify exactly what it is that makes it so lovely, so I’m not even going to try.
If you want to read a good book, just know you can’t go wrong with Dolly All the Time.
Note:: I received an early copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
