Thirty-Two Going on Spinster by Becky Monson
Julia Dorning is a spinster, or at least on the road to becoming one. She has no social life, hates her job, 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?

Praise for Thirty-Two Going on... Spinster
"Oh my, oh my. I have just finished wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes. This is seriously funny."
~Julie Darley (Never judge a Book by its Movie)
"This was a refreshing change of pace for me to read. Some good clean romance was found in it’s pages and that is a rare find these days. It was some great chick-lit. I would not have thought this was Becky’s debut book, it was so well done." ~Liberty Ann (SnifferWalkBooks)
My review
It 's a very funny book and that makes you laugh. The heroine is a spinster of 32 years, for 10 years has a job she does not like and she lives in the basement of her parents' house. The sister and mother understand that she has to go out of the house but she feels that can not do it. Hoping for a promotion at work but is blown by a newcomer Jared, a great guy.
The characters are very well characterized and fun. The main character is great: is a clumsy and immature woman who finds herself often in very embarrassing situations (a kind of Bridget Jones). Another fun character is Brown, Julia's friend and colleague: is the office gossip and tries to get out of her predicament spinster especially when she discovers that is attracted to Jared. Jared is adorable especially how he reacts to embarrassing situations for Julia
It 's very well written, with a particular humor and sliding between a laugh and the other, pages run off without difficulty.
If you love chick lit and funny books this is a must read
