Book Review : Margo's Got Money Troubles

Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe

Review: Quirky, endearing, lovable main characters. An excellent read for the chronically online.

Delightful surprise of Elle Fanning as the audiobook narrator.

Synopsis from Goodreads: 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.

Rumor has it, it’s heading its way to Apple TV with Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning??!?! Maybe that’s why she voiced the audio? Please, please, please, let’s make this happen!
