Margo's Got Money Troubles

A young woman unexpectedly becomes a young mother after an affair with her English professor. As a broke college drop-out with a newborn, Margo's running out of rent money and employment options. She turns to her estranged father--famous in the world of pro wrestling--and OnlyFans in a messy, hilarious, and human attempt at building a life. I especially appreciate the way Margo takes control of her own narrative, partly accomplished by switching between first and third person in the telling of her story.

As Margo puts it, "It's true that writing in third person helps me. It is so much easier to have sympathy for the Margo who existed back then rather than try to explain how and why I did all the things that I did."

There's a great deal of nuance for all the quirk of this novel. For every penis-as-a-Pokemon description, there's a deeper insight into the work involved in sex work. I'm so very here for it.
