Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe
A blisteringly funny and heartwarming novel about a young woman - navigating a desperate lack of funds, new motherhood and becoming an adult - who gets creative on OnlyFans.
The most captivating narrative of motherhood, sex work, point of view, and regretI'm obsessed! -- Leila Mottley, author of Nightcrawling
When I finished it, I couldn't quite believe it was over, that is how much I was completely rapt by Margo's Got Money Troubles. A brilliantly unique story, fallible and lovable characters and moments so human and hilarious that I laughed out loud multiple times. I can't quite believe this is only the first book I've read by Rufi Thorpe, because after reading her latest novel, it's clear that I need to go back and read everything she's ever written. She is a genius, after all. -- Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us
An audacious, wildly funny, completely unpredictable novel by a writer so singular that it's hard to compare her to anyone else . . . An absolutely brilliant book -- Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
A hilarious novel about making the most of what you've got. Sharp and funny by turns, this is an exceptionally tender look at young motherhood and love that also involves professional wrestling, and yes, OnlyFans. I gobbled it up. -- Emma Straub, author of All Adults Here
Long after the last page of Margo's Got Money Troubles, I think of certain lines and burst out laughing. In public. This novel is damn funny, but also touching and smart and surprising and beguiling and just completely bad ass. Rufi Thorpe is truly one of one! -- Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
Margo's Got Money Troubles is just so good: the humor, the pathos, the redemption - every sentence, every twist of plot is wildly original and unexpected. When has such a lovable heroine ever been created? -- Stephanie Danler, New York Times bestselling author of Sweetbitter
A thrilling, uproarious, and above all affirming exploration of one young woman's fight to make it in a world that's rooting against her. Margo is an unforgettable heroine, so real she walked right off the page and into my heart. -- Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit
Funny, surprising and gloriously kickass bildungsroman that lobs a hand grenade into the childcare and sex work debates, raising questions about how we judge one another . . . It illuminates the double binds in which women are caught, from abortion to childcare, and gives us a heroine whose imagination, courage and humour we can get behind. You'll finish the book wishing to be more Margo. * Bookseller *
