Need a good, solid laugh? We all do! Duh. For a smart, witty look at money, internet fame and power, seek out Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe. In this laugh-out-loud book, Margo — the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler — 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. You will chuckle. You may cry. I loved all the feels this quirky book brought me and you will, too.
