Margo’s Got Money Troubles A Novel

Soon to be a series from A24 & Apple TV+ starring Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman — and trust us, you’ll want to read it before the cameras roll.

From PEN/Faulkner finalist Rufi Thorpe comes a novel The Washington Post calls “the feel-good novel we need right now.” Nick Hornby, writing in the New York Times Book Review, dubbed it “enormously entertaining and lovable.” We agree, wholeheartedly.

Meet Margo Millet: twenty years old, broke, brand-new mom, and the daughter of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler. After a brief affair with her English professor leaves her with a baby and an eviction notice, Margo’s running out of options. Then her estranged father Jinx shows up on her doorstep, and a wild idea takes shape — what if she started an OnlyFans, and used a few tricks from the wrestling world to craft her own character?

What follows is a blisteringly funny, surprisingly tender story about motherhood, money, and the strange art of controlling your own narrative in an online world.

It’s sharp. It’s warm. It’s the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud on the footbridge and then text your best friend about it three chapters later.

“A wholly original novel. . . . Thorpe is both poetic and profound.” — The Associated Press

A perfect pick for fans of dark humor, coming-of-age stories, and heroines who refuse to be underestimated. Curl up with this one — maybe with the sound of the cove rolling in nearby.
