'Summer Romance brims with heart, wit, and longing - the signature ingredients of my favourite beach reads. Anything Annabel writes, I'm reading it' - Carley Fortune
Benefits of a summer romance: it's always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken.
There aren't enough labeled glass containers to contain the mess that is Ali Morris's life. Her mum died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn't worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. She's a professional organiser whose pantry is a disgrace.
No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware-overalls count, right?-she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her in the same way he claimed his favourite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right-like he likes what he sees. The last thing Ali needs is to make her life messier, but there's no harm in a little Summer Romance. Is there?
The heart-tugging and hilarious new book from the bestselling author of Same Time Next Summer and Nora Goes Off Script.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Summer romance, writes Monaghan (Same Time Next Summer) in this light and sunny contemporary, is "a love affair with no reality check." People pleaser Ali Morris has spent her whole life putting other peoples' happiness above her own. Stuck in a loveless marriage, she's still grieving her mother's death two years prior and juggling the schedules of her three kids when her husband asks for a divorce. She's exhausted, numb, and reeling—until her lust for life is reawakened when her dog pees on the gorgeous Ethan at the dog park. Their attraction is palpable and when she learns that Ethan is "Scooter," the younger brother of a good friend from high school, she struggles to reconcile the teenage screwup she knew in her youth with the dreamy man who sees the real her. But if Ethan, who had a crush on Ali all through high school, wants more than just a summer fling, he'll need to convince her that he's no longer the flaky, unreliable boy he was. Monaghan makes the blossoming love between Ali and Ethan both believable and heartwarming as they grow together out of painful past experiences. It's the ideal beach read.
