Resumen del Editor

Pretty Mess meets #Girlboss in this part memoir, part entrepreneurial manifesto from The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s “Powerhouse in Pigtails".

Margaret Josephs is a hustler. She’s a tough cookie. She speaks her mind. She never leaves the house without lipstick on. She’s also a devoted wife, mother, daughter, businesswoman, lifestyle expert, and fan-favorite star of the reality TV series The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Sounds pretty glamorous, right? Well, things are never exactly as they seem.

Before she arrived where she is today, “The Marge” was born to young immigrant parents. Raised by a single party-girl mother who left her physically abusive father when she was one and a half, she was taught that it was more important to look good than to feel good. No structure. No rules. No blueprint for future success or stability. But, like most people who struggle through atypical childhoods, destructive relationships, and career challenges, she forced herself to wake up every morning and put one high heel in front of the other, even if she didn’t know where she was going.

Margaret took the cards she was dealt and eventually turned them into a winning hand, and she wants to arm fans with the ability to do the same. In Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget, she’ll talk about how to launch a lifestyle brand, how to work with family members, and how to be an uncompromising woman in a man’s world. She also spills stories from her personal life about the son Real Housewives viewers don’t know exists, the time Joan Rivers gave her the best advice she ever got, the rendezvous she had with a famous rock star, and the affair with her contractor that ended her marriage but gave her the happily ever after.

Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget takes fans along Margaret’s wild, bumpy journey to entrepreneurial success and reality TV fame, written in her trademark no-nonsense, tongue-in-cheek voice with the perfect combination of grit and glitz.

So Relatable

I love the Marge even more now. We have so much in common. She would have been an amazing mentor for me had I been in the same industry, and of course lived in Jersey 🤣

Love some Marge

I really enjoyed her story and especially her narration. Margaret is truly authentic and real.

A True Inspiration for Women

A must for any HW fan. I absolutely adore “The Marge” & this book solidified why. She’s such a hard worker, compassionate & forgiving, a great friend, and above all, loving wife & mother. I listened to the audiobook version & enjoyed hearing Margaret’s own voice. However, the one critique I have is there is some repetition with words, phrases, & stories, and the book doesn’t stick with the timeline - it’s a little all over the place. But I appreciate the honesty, especially with her childhood & work experiences. I also really enjoyed hearing about her business. I had no idea it was such a successful company & Marge really started an entire industry of goods.

Hysterical

Love the Marge and this book!! “Your husband’s in the pool!” Very fun listening to this book!

I didn’t think I could love her anymore!!!

I have always loved the Marge but to hear her life story makes me love her even more! She’s definitely been through some hard times but she’s a gangster and always comes out on top!!!

Quick witted and fun as only “The Marge” could tell”

Truthful, funny, heartbreaking, but always told with love for her family and estranged children. I personally loved the surprise nuggets aka life lessons at the end of each chapter.♥️

Really Enjoyed!

I've always been a fan of Margaret and was excited to listen to her book. it did not disappoint. I found her to be very truthful and self-deprecating, just like she portrays herself on RHONJ.

AMAZING

This was the best book I have listened to in a while. I love Margaret on the RHONJ but I think even if you do not watch the show, this is a must read/listen to!

Amazing!!!

I absolutely love this book. Margaret Josephs is always authentic and this book does not disappoint. The fact that she reads it to you is a bonus!

Excellent book!

Loved this book! Very interesting to hear her life story and to receive her valuable advice. I always wondered how she got to where she is today. She is very inspirational and enjoyable to watch.
