About this listen
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

There’s only one problem: Mary doesn’t really like Fiona’s husband, Andreas.

Story
Motherhood has turned out to be a lot weirder and lonelier than Mary anticipated - has the world gone crazy, or has she? Most of the time, it feels like both. But when her oldest starts kindergarten, Mary meets another mom, Fiona, and the two form an unusual yet exhilarating friendship. There’s only one problem: Mary doesn’t really like Fiona’s husband, Andreas. What begins as a minor irritation keeps intensifying and changing shape in Mary’s mind as Andreas’s perceived wrongdoings pile up, until she can’t distinguish integrity from self-sabotage.

Story
For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her family’s yearly escape to Cape Cod. Their humble beach-town rental has been the site of sweet memories, sunny days, great meals, and messes of all kinds. This year’s vacation, with Rocky sandwiched between her half-grown kids and fully aging parents, promises to be just as delightful as summers past—except, perhaps, for Rocky’s hormonal bouts of rage and melancholy. Her body is changing—her life is, too. And then a chain of events sends Rocky into the past, reliving both the tenderness and sorrow of a handful of long-ago summers.

Hilarious and brilliant
The synopsis sounds nuts, but Rufi Thorpe works magic. Here’s hoping there’s a sequel. Great narration by Elle Fanning.

Loved this
I loved this story and how she wove together so many topics and elements. Elle was a fantastic performer. I could listen to her read anything, but it definitely helped that Margo and her world of characters and outlook were so enjoyable.

Wow! This took me by surprise.
I am blown away! I LOVED IT, very unexpectedly. I’d never heard of this author, but the combo of the (wildly all over the place) jacket description + Elle Fanning’s narration led me to feel like I might take a weird but enjoyable journey. Tbh, I wasn’t truly hooked until about 1/4 in, but then—WHOA. HOOKED. I’m in love with how wickedly smart Rufi Thorpe’s writing is, and can’t wait to see what else awaits under her name! I loved Margo’s heart and wit and EQ and growth. I loved the openness of it all. And the narration! Truly 5 stars. ⭐️

Good writing
The story kept me involved, the writing is good. The morals, not so much. I found myself yelling at Margo not to be such an idiot. She gets into a sex trade and sets out in the rest of the story excusing it. Thats not the only thing she excuses, there are many more morally corrupt things. I wonder how many young folks truly feel this way. Makes me kinda sad.

Funny and Painfully Real
Feels just like listening to a new friend tell their true life story. I sometimes got a bit lost when switching points of view, but overall liked how it was utilized. Will definitely be recommending and likely rereading.
