Sisters Jill and Jodi were raised by their unmarried aunts. They're aunts are very inspirational to them (and great characters in the book). The girls grew up knowing that they could be strong, take care of themselves and find happiness in life whether they were single or not.

Jodi got married right out of college and divorced shortly afterwards. Between this and her aunts, she has been inspired to write about the single life. Jodi and Jill soon build an empire on the concept of a full life as a happily single woman. They have books and a radio show. They're doing quite well for themselves and while they're not exactly saying that they encourage staying single, a lot of their fans (and critics) see that as the takeaway. They do call themselves the spinster sisters after all.

The book begins with Jill's engagement.
She's very happy about it but Jodi sees the chance that her sister getting married could screw to the whole message of spinster sisters. She's happy for Jodi, but scared for their business.

It doesn't take long before the critics join in, some fans are upset, didn't Spinster Sisters tell them it was better to be single they ask.
Critics call them hypocrites.

And during this time, Jodi is juggling three different men and some drama from an ex.

I liked the characters and the style of writing.
I also thought the aunts were great. I think they were the best characters. ( )

I liked this book. I knew what kind of book it was going in - I've read Stacey Ballis before. Light-hearted, funny and chick-lit. It's the kind of book I needed for this week and Ballis didn't disappoint. ( )

After their parents die, Jodi and Jill Spingold are raised by their spinster aunts. Jodi is a divorcee and Jill becomes engaged which both seem to conflict with the sisters business of teaching women to be independent. The business is threatened when Jill becomes engaged and Jodi's ex-husband's new girlfriend decides she wants a piece of their business for herself. At the same time, Jodi is realizing that she has unexpected feelings for one of the three men that she is dating. This book is funny and contains surprisingly good advice for women in relationships.

From Booklist
Sisters Jodi and Jill Spingold have made a career out of being proud singles. Their company the Spinster Sisters has become a nationwide phenomenon, with their book Living Twenty-Five and their satellite radio show, Lunch with the Spinster Sisters, garnering them new fans everyday. When Jill gets engaged to her handsome WASP boyfriend, Hunter, Jodi is happy for her sister but worried about their business and the inevitable backlash when some of their fans perceive Jill's engagement as evidence that she doesn't practice what she preaches. Jodi is devoted to her bachelorette lifestyle; she has no less than three lovers: distinguished Abbot, younger-man Ben, and handsome but elusive Connor. Jodi also has to contend with her ex-husband, Brandt, and his pushy new girlfriend, Mallory, who forces Brandt to demand a Jewish divorce and a share of her company. When Jodi finds herself falling for one of her three beaus, she starts to wonder if maintaining complete autonomy is really what she wants. Readers will be rooting for Ballis' smart, snappy heroines ( )
