Margot’s Got Money Troubles is a sharp, funny, and deeply human novel that explores the messy intersections of ambition, motherhood, and self-worth in the modern world. Thorpe brings her signature blend of wit and empathy to the story of Margo, a single mother who turns to OnlyFans to make ends meet, and in doing so, confronts society’s judgments about sex, success, and what it means to survive. The book is both laugh-out-loud hilarious and quietly devastating, filled with characters who feel heartbreakingly real. It’s a perfect recommendation for readers who appreciate stories that don’t flinch from the absurdity and tenderness of being alive, and who enjoy fiction that balances biting social commentary with genuine heart.
