Margo's Got Money Troubles

God I loved this. Renata recommended it to me because I keep reading books about being sad in space or sad about space - looking at you, Challenger by Adam Higginbotham. Instead, she suggested, why not read something funny and heartwarming about dicks and Pokémon and Dragon Ball and dads and daughter and love and love and love.

Much better, I think.

I just LOVED this book! I had picked it up on the recommendation of a friend without reading too much more about it and I think if I had read what the plot was I might have been like “uh oh this sounds depressing and I'm NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THAT” but I'm so glad I didn't do that, because this was exactly what I was in the mood for. SO funny and fresh and unexpectedly heartwarming but also a real page turner. I couldn't put it down and read it all in two days. AND went to look up what else this author has written and acquire those books next.

I had to binge through this as I started dangerously close to the library's return date, but this was perfect entertainment, and such a blast to listen to. With Ellen Fanning voicing the audiobook, and the absolutely marketable content of a young woman discovering herself and her entrepreneurial spirit, amidst the worlds of young motherhood, onlyFans and wrestling, I can only imagine that this will be translated into the big or small screen (yup, just looked it up, of course it is!)

Such fun and perfect execution.
