I love an Annabel Monaghan romance so dearly, and Dolly All the Time is a beautiful story of love, family, and self acceptance. It’s very much a story of people from different worlds, but Stewart and Dolly end up having far more in common than they initially realize. It was such a joy seeing them reconcile these differences amidst a world with expectations for them both.
It would be impossible for me to not mention my love of Dolly’s son, Gus, and brother, Christopher. They both play such important roles in her life, and seeing their dynamics with Stewart as well was so important. Dolly All the Time is all about family and the roles we play within our families, and seeing both Dolly and Stewart within those roles was really defining for them.
Something I adore about Annabel’s books is the way these characters are older, more experienced, yet still learning. Dolly goes through a journey of speaking her own mind and feelings and comes out better for it. This really is a beautiful book and I truly love every time one of Annabel’s books comes to me!
