英文简介:
“The warmth of Thorpe’s tone, together with the thoroughness of her imagination and the artfulness of her pacing, means that skepticism is kept at bay.
She sells us on both the characters and the plot .

[in] this enormously entertaining and lovable book.
” –Nick Hornby, New York Times Book Review A 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.
Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price? Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine who’s struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her.
It’s a playful and honest examination of the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, and an empowering portrait of coming into your own, both online and off.
“A wholly original novel.

Thorpe is both poetic and profound in the way she brings her remarkable story to an end.

中文简介:
“索普温暖的语气，加上她丰富的想象力和巧妙的节奏，意味着我们不会怀疑。
她在人物和情节上都向我们推销……在这部非常有趣和可爱的作品中书。
” ——尼克·霍恩比，《纽约时报》书评这是一个大胆、令人捧腹、有趣又感人的故事，讲述了一名年轻女性在日益网络化的世界中尝试如何应对成年期、新母亲身份以及她微薄的银行账户的故事——来自笔会/福克纳入围者和广受好评的《淘汰赛女王》作者。
作为猫头鹰餐厅女服务员和前职业摔跤手的孩子，玛戈·米勒一直都知道她必须靠自己的努力取得成功。
因此，她就读于当地的专科学校，尽管她无法想象自己将如何谋生。
她仍在想办法，从未计划与她的英语教授发生外遇——虽然这段外遇很短暂，但还不足以阻止她怀孕。
尽管所有人都建议，她还是决定留下这个孩子，主要是出于天真和对更大事物的渴望。
现在，二十岁的玛戈独自一人带着婴儿，失业，濒临被驱逐的边缘。
她需要快速注入现金。
当她疏远的父亲金克丝出现在她家门口并要求搬来和她一起住时，她同意了，以换取照顾孩子的帮助。
然后玛戈开始制定一个计划：她将创办一个 OnlyFans 作为实验，并很快发现自己采纳了金克丝在摔跤界的一些建议。
比如如何塑造一个引人注目的角色并让你的观众爱上你。
在她意识到之前，她已经取得了巨大的成功。
这可能是玛戈所有问题的答案，还是网络成名的代价太高了？ 《玛戈的金钱烦恼》非常有趣，充满了敏锐的洞察力，这是一个温柔的故事，主角是一位可爱的年轻女主人公，她努力从一个对她毫无兴趣的世界中夺取金钱和权力。
这是对讲故事和控制自己的叙述艺术的一种有趣而诚实的检验，也是一幅关于如何在网上和线下展现自己的授权肖像。
“一部完全原创的小说……索普以富有诗意和深刻的方式结束了她非凡的故事。
