2 posts | 4 to read
An audacious, wildly funny, completely unpredictable novel by a writer so singular that its hard to compare her to anyone else . . . absolutely brilliant. Kevin Wilson A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young womans attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online worldfrom 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 shed have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she cant imagine how shell ever make a living. Shes still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professorand while the affair is brief, it isnt brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyones advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naivet 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 infusionfast. 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: shell start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinxs 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, shes turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margos problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price? Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margos Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine whos struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her. Its 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.

Just a small shout out to everyone who nominated books for #camplitsy24 - the books above were my top choices among those that did not make it onto the official camp roster. They immediately went onto my tbr anyway! I would not have had them on my radar if it was not for the longlist, and that would have been a shame. The library hold on the tagged is only 2 weeks out and I'm looking forward to the hilarity promised #blamelitsy

Bookwormjillk I‘m really looking forward to that one too! 1d
Megabooks I‘m looking forward to Margo, too! I‘ve preordered it, but it doesn‘t come out until June 11, so a bit longer to wait. 😩 Great list of titles!! The longlist is always so wonderful. Littens are the best!! 1d
Larkken @Megabooks doh. You‘re right about the release date here too, I read the notification wrong, it will be available to put on hold in two weeks 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ welp, guess I‘m ready 1d
squirrelbrain Great idea to post your favourites! The longlist is a real issue for TBR lists isn‘t it?! 🤣 I also really want to read the tagged, and have just started Martyr!, which I wasn‘t sure if I would like, but seems great so far. 1d
BarbaraBB My tbr has exploded too! And I really want to read Godwin and Last Days in Plaka! (edited) 20h
