Synopsis

«Una novela audaz, impredecible y terriblemente divertida de una escritora tan singular que es difícil de comparar con alguien más… en definitiva, brillante». —Kevin WilsonUna historia atrevida, muy divertida y conmovedora sobre los intentos de una joven por navegar en la vida adulta, la maternidad y su estrecha cuenta bancaria en un mudo cada vez más virtual. De la autora de The Knockout Queen, finalista del premio PEN/Faulkner y aclamada por la crítica. Hija de una camarera de Hooters y de un exluchador profesional, Margo Millet siempre supo que tendría que arreglárselas sola. Así que se matricula en la universidad local, aunque no puede imaginarse cómo se ganará la vida. Aún está tratando de entender las cosas y nunca planeó tener una aventura con su profesor de inglés —una aventura breve, pero no lo suficiente como para evitar quedar embarazada—. A pesar de los consejos de todo el mundo, decide quedarse con el bebé, sobre todo por ingenuidad y por el deseo de algo más grande.Ahora, a los veinte años, Margo está sola con un bebé, desempleada y a punto de ser desalojada. Necesita una entrada de dinero rápida. Cuando su ausente padre, Jinx, se planta en su puerta y le pide dejarlo mudarse con ella, Margo accede a cambio de ayuda con el cuidado del bebé. Entonces, Margo comienza a tramar un plan: abrirá un OnlyFans como experimento, y pronto se dará cuenta de que está adoptando algunos de los consejos de Jinx del mundo de la lucha libre, como la forma de crear un personaje convincente y hacer que tu público se enamore de ti. Antes de percatarse, Margo se ha convertido en un éxito arrollador. ¿Podría ser esta la respuesta a todos los problemas de Margo o la fama en internet viene acompañada de un precio demasiado alto?Absolutamente divertida y llena de un ingenio cortante, Margo’s Got Money Troubles es un relato tierno protagonizado por una joven heroína que lucha para sacarle dinero y poder a mundo que tiene poco interés en dárselo.-----“An audacious, wildly funny, completely unpredictable novel by a writer so singular that it’s hard to compare her to anyone else . . . absolutely brilliant.” —Kevin WilsonA bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world—from 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 she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté 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 infusion—fast. 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: she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s 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, she’s turned it into a runaway success.

Goodreads review by Yun on January 02, 2026

She would figure it out. Because it was impossible that there was no solution. People had babies all the time and somehow managed it. When a book is described as "wholly original," I admit it makes me a little bit hesitant. What does that mean? Is it original because it contains the sort of fun h......more

Goodreads review by Celine on June 15, 2025

Nobody could have prepared me for the true plot of this book—though the synopsis promises an array of juicy details. For yes, this is about OnlyFans and TikTok and pro-wrestling. It’s about a 20-year-old single mother, her son the result of an affair with her english professor. And yet…oh man, oh yet......more

Goodreads review by Natilie Bell on December 21, 2025

4/5 ⊹₊⟡⋆ I absolutely devoured this. I really loved every second of it - it was so much fun, I was so engrossed in the story, and it was absurd in a believable way. It also had so many good takes and cultural messaging about feminism, motherhood and sex work. This was such a refreshing take, and wh......more

Goodreads review by Creya on July 24, 2024

Unfortunately, I was bored for the majority of this book. I kept thinking to myself, "Where is this going? What am I reading towards?" In short, the synopsis is the entire story. Margo becomes unexpectedly pregnant by her college professor, decides to keep the baby, and starts an OnlyFans to have mo......more
