Why read it?

2 authors picked Margo's Got Money Troubles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a wild ride of a book, kept on the rails only by the author's splendidly steady hand with tone (it never goes too dark) and pacing and by the indomitable Margo herself. It recalls Elinor Lippman at her best, but is also absolutely its own story--zany and unpredictable, for sure (aliens on OnlyFans!) but grounded throughout in our main character's faith in herself and love for her child.

The characters in this book were incredibly flawed, which is to say they felt incredibly real. This book was human and current and it made me think about the choices we make to build our lives.
