The Desperate series by Alison Sherlock is a pair of lighthearted women’s fiction novels that mix humor with relatable life struggles. The Desperate Bride’s Diet Club (2012) follows a bride-to-be who starts a dieting group with other women, each dealing with their own pressures around weddings and body image. The Desperate Wife’s Survival Plan (2013) takes a similar comedic approach to the challenges of marriage and daily life.
These were Sherlock’s first published novels, written before she moved into the cozy village romance style she later became known for. Fans of funny, down-to-earth women’s fiction will find these early books a quick and entertaining read.
