PRE-ORDER: Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe

As the child of an ex-pro wrestler and a Hooters waitress, Margo Millet's always known she'd have to make it on her own. When she finds herself pregnant by her English professor and in need of cash fast, she comes up with a plan: she'll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, producing content and writing storylines unlike anything else out there.

Luckily, what Margo lacks in options she makes up for in ingenuity, and before she knows it, she's an online phenomenon. Could this be the answer to all of Margo's problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?

REVIEWS

"Wildly funny and perceptive . . . Margo's Got Money Troubles is about so much more than Margo or money, and yet is also very sharp-eyed about how central real money troubles are. I'll be thinking - and laughing - about it for a long time to come." - Francesca Steele ― i

"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

"Thorpe's literary hum has translated into a resounding roar . . . beyond Thorpe's strong characters and tight plots, what sets her apart from her peers is the gnawing philosophical tension that rests at the centre of her books . . . Thorpe allows her characters to remain flawed but bent toward redemption in this wholly entertaining, utterly endearing and thought-provoking novel that asks, "What kind of truth would require this many lies to tell?" Thorpe's novels defy easy categorization. Her characters' radiant energy and her books' knotted plots don't align with the moody atmosphere and tone poem quality of most contemporary literary fiction. Yet, these novels remain more intense and rigorous than most upmarket women's fiction. It's exhilarating to find an author who wants to tell you a good yarn, but also ask a lot of complicated questions." - Lauren LeBlanc ― Los Angeles Times
