About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan, read by Kristen DiMercurio.

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.

'Annabel Monaghan has joined my shortlist of instant autobuy authors. Her writing is packed full of chemistry and warmth and I could not put this book down' – Paige Toon©2024 Annabel Monaghan (P)2024 Head of Zeus Contemporary Funny Heartfelt Witty

Critic Reviews

'Annabel Monaghan knows how to write romance, how to sweep you up and make you feel as though you, the reader, are falling in love. This is what romance books are all about. Ali is such a relatable protagonist and Ethan a perfect book boyfriend. I devoured it. Annabel has another hit on her hands' (Sophie Cousens, author of Just Haven’t Met You Yet)

'A warm, funny, and bingeable five-star read' (Abby Jimenez, author of Yours Truly)

'Summer Romance is a sweet, warm hug of a book. Annabel Monaghan's latest is like a chat from your best friend at the end of a long day - comfort personified. It's hopeful and fun, sprinkled with the kind of romance you wish for every summer' (Elissa Sussman, author of Funny You Should Ask)

Delightful.

Absolutely loved it. Had me hooked from beginning to end. As good as her others. An easy listen you won’t regret.
