Book News : The Desperate Wife's Survival Plan

Charley Summers doesn't have a care in the world as she hands her gold-plated credit card over at the hair salon, where her wild curls have been transformed into a gleaming satin curtain. She lives in the lap of luxury, supported by a rich, successful husband and surrounded by a loyal group of friends.

Alarm bells don't even start to ring when her card is declined twice. Some silly mistake, she thinks - and pays in cash. But it is no mistake. Charley's world is about to collapse, as the business goes bust, the bank forecloses and bailiffs move in to take every one of their disposable possessions. Even her marriage cannot survive.

Charley has nothing - no house, no money, no qualifications. Just shame and sorrow - and the knowledge that she must get a job. Any job. And she must find somewhere to live - no matter how squalid and depressing. Then she must start repaying some of the money which her husband has so recklessly squandered.

But how on earth is she to do that?

Alison Sherlock's debut novel, The Desperate Bride's Diet Club was one of the books I wanted to read last year but couldn't manage to buy myself one. So, what's past is past. Moving forward, her next one, The Desperate Wife's Survival Plan will be out soon and the cover is stunning! It's such a wonderful balance between the pastels and the bright solids. Gorgeous cover alert! The Desperate Wife's Survival Plan is out on 9th May 2013.
