Publisher's summary

From Readers' Favorite Book Award winner Becky Monson comes the first book in a chick lit romance series that will keep you laughing.

Julia Dorning is a spinster, or at least on the road to becoming one. She has no social life, hates her career, and lives in her parent's basement with her cat, Charlie.

With the arrival of Jared Moody, the new hire at work, Julia's mundane life is suddenly turned upside down. Her instant (and totally ridiculous) crush on the new guy causes Julia to finally make some long-overdue changes, in hopes to find a life that includes more than baking and hanging out with Charlie.

But when the biggest and most unexpected change comes, will the new and improved Julia be able to overcome it? Or will she go back to her spinster ways?

So cute!

This needs to be a series or. movie. It's clear Julia has Asperger's. Changes, people? A major red flag. She's also brilliant, which is another flag. Story has the same magic, as Notting Hill and Bridget Jones diary.

Pretty cute

Cute story of life, love and the unsettling nerves that accompany both. Julia is portrayed a bit emotionally immature, and clueless, for being 32. Characters around Julia are a good support for her but she is still way too naïve. Jared is not as pronounced as he could be, but it adds to his mystery. I had Mr. Wynn pegged pretty quickly :-).

Why all the weight mentioning?

I liked the voice actor but found the story to contain many weight shaming that were not necessary as they didn’t add any value to the story.

Easy listen

I enjoyed the narrator, especially. Having a great narrator definitely makes a difference. Sometimes I can’t get through a certain book because the narrator is annoying and off putting.

I am surprised that I liked it.

I appreciate the light heartedness of the plot and like the voice of the actress who performed the presentation.

One of My Favorites

This is one of my favorite chick lit books. I love that it was made into an audiobook. The narrator really brought Julia to life. I was giggling throughout the entire book. Do yourself a favor and download this today.

Very Good!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a real twist to it that is believable in the business world. The heroine is delightful & the hero is likable.

I really did laugh out loud.

There were some cringy moments but who doesn’t have their own cringe-worthiness moments.
I’m pleased with the story and curious about what happens next.
