Annabel Monaghan | Friends & Fiction #324

On this episode, Kristy Woodson Harvey & Mary Kay Andrews welcome New York Times bestselling author Annabel Monaghan to discuss her brand-new novel, Dolly All the Time—the GMA Book Club pick for June—in which a hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic scion. Annabel is the NYT-bestselling and Library Reads Hall of Fame author of It’s a Love Story, Summer Romance, Same Time Next Summer, and Nora Goes Off Script, as well as two young adult novels and Does This Volvo Make My Butt Look Big?, a selection of laugh-out-loud columns that appeared in The Huffington Post, The Week, and The Rye Record. After twenty-five years in the suburbs of New York City, she now splits her time between Connecticut and Florida. Her novels have been translated into twenty-three languages. Annabel joins us to discuss Dolly All the Time, which Carley Fortune calls, “a luminous story of love, duty, and the tension between the two” that is “less like a novel and more like a place I never wanted to leave,” and which Elle Kennedy says, “grips you from the very first page and sparkles like the sun.” SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/FriendsFict...
