Resumen del Editor

Audiobook Narrated by Elle Fanning!

“The warmth of Thorpe’s tone, together with the thoroughness of her imagination and the artfulness of her pacing, means that skepticism is kept at bay. She sells us on both the characters and the plot . . . [in] this enormously entertaining and lovable book.” —Nick Hornby, New York Times Book Review

A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world—from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen.

As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger.

Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion—fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling. Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she’s turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?

Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine who’s struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her. It’s a playful and honest examination of the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, and an empowering portrait of coming into your own, both online and off.

“A wholly original novel. . . . Thorpe is both poetic and profound in the way she brings her remarkable story to an end.” —The Associated Press

Editorial Review

A humorous and wholly original story about single-motherhood
Per the title, Margo’s got, well, money troubles. A single mom at 20, Margo’s fired from her waitressing job when she can’t find childcare. Now struggling with rent and the cost of living in California on unemployment, she moves in with her father Jinx, an ex-pro wrestler, and launches an OnlyFans account using his advice on how to craft a character. I’m a mama to four boys and my living room often resembles a WWE ring, so Margo speared her way into my heart. Despite the premise, humor infuses the narrative, and author Rufi Thorpe plays with point of view in a wholly original way that kept me both entertained and on my toes. Narrated by actress Elle Fanning, who has been tapped to star in the TV adaptation alongside Nicole Kidman, I can already envision the mannerisms she’ll bring to Margo via the nuance she delivers in this performance. — Katie O., Audible Editor

Loved it

Reminded me of Elinor Olyphant- funny, original, refreshingly sane and empathetic protagonist( so tired of these doormat “ heroines” , sp catatonic with self-hatred and guilt for merely existing they can’t function). ❤️❤️👍👻

Great read

Great writing. Great character development. Great story. Great performance. Explores themes of consent, sex work, class, addiction, and social mores stacked mostly against women. All presented with an uplifting tone. You will cheer for Margo. I read a lot. This is a very good book.

OMG!!

I have listened to literally 100’s of books. This one, without a doubt, has been one of the most entertaining one yet! In fact, this is my first ever written review. I felt it warranted all the praise. I laughed, teared up, laughed again, got mad, laughed… well you get it. I get it a great big WHOOOOOO!!! ♥️♥️♥️

I love Margo’s brain and Elle’s voice 👏🏻💕

One of my favorite things about this story is how deeply the character analyzes their life. Rufi plays with POV in such fun ways, really breaking the fourth wall and bringing us in. Such an engaging listen with Elle Fanning deserving whatever awards are award-able for audio book performance.

My heart swells for this story and its characters. Fun and thoughtful. Thank you for a heartfelt and judgement free challenge of a listen. I will think of it often when I think of SW or young mothers. We needed Margo 💞
