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?

My favorite book has now been brought to life!!

I have loved this book since it was released on Kindle. I read and re read it over and over. Makes me laugh, cry, and feel overall happy for the self proclaimed spinster. The main character is someone that you can relate to. She's funny, smart, talented and stronger than she gives herself credit for. I was worried that the audible version would ruin the story I play in my head when reading it, but it was pretty spot on. The narrator nailed it and truly brought the story and all the characters to life. I finished listening to Thirty-Two Going on Spinster in just a couple days. I couldn't bring myself to turn it off. I am now finishing up the 2nd book. I can't wait to see if Becky will write a 4th book in the Spinster Series. Hopefully the story continues.

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.

yuck!!!

most fat phobic book ive ever listened to. uses the word fat, overweight, and talks about how its so crazy that an overweight character has a sex life and she doesnt!! I really thought it was. in bad taste.

A little disappointed

Unfortunately the main character was 32 but was as mature as a 16 year girl. The story line was ok. I don't think I'll listen to it again.
I enjoyed the authors most recent book " The Accidental Text" a lot, I've listened to it twice, so I was disappointed in this one.

SO GOOD!!!!

Cute...well written, great story and moments where I really laughed out loud. Download this series for sure!

Pitiful

Well, if you are looking for PC this ain't your book. If you are looking for characters with class, depth or charity, this ain't your book. <sigh>
This book is about an extremely self-centered, crass, unlikable female character. But she is also insecure, rudderles, demeaning and dumb...so there's that. Luckily she meets the man of her dreams. Who turns out to a despicable, manipulative man who thinks he knows whats best for her more than she does. Sadly, in the end her lust for him tells her he is right and she should just be grateful. However on the flip side, If you can overlook the constant fat shaming and gay bashing, then not a bad read!

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.

Good listen

Good story line I enjoyed this I laughed at the corninessi would recommend for a feel good listen

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 :-).

Excellent narration and story!

Loved this books as a clean romcom. There is a small amount of language - minimal. Love this author and her books! The narration of this was also excellent.

Funny, Easy to hear and Sympathise with

although the end of the story seems a little rushed, i love how much insight we get into the characters in the first couple of chapters and how that continues to develop as the story goes along. i love the main character’s development and she really grew on me. the story is witty and i really liked mc’s dramatic pov

A great listen

I really enjoyed this listen. It was quite original and very well written and narrated. I can’t wait to listen to book number 2. Fingers crossed it will be as good as the first

Great Story and Narrator

Loved the book and thought it was interesting.
there were sometimes it felt a bit off because of body shaming. but overall it was fun and I will be reading the next book.
