This week on Genre’d, Elyse and Katy are talking about Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan, a fake dating romance set against a very dreamy New England summer.
Dolly is thirty-nine, a single mom, and the kind of woman who can solve basically any problem herself. Stuart Whitfield is a wealthy New England heir who needs to prove he has a life outside of work. She needs $50,000 for a new roof. He needs a girlfriend.
Naturally, they fake date.
We’re talking coastal Rhode Island vibes, old-money family drama, sailboats, eldest daughter syndrome, the world’s loosest NDA, and why Dolly might be one of our favorite contemporary romance heroines in a while.
And then we get to the third-act breakup.
Let’s just say we both came into the episode at four stars and somehow talked ourselves down.
Our rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ from both hosts
Spoiler-free first, then the spoiler alarm goes off and we get into everything.
