Sinossi
Un vero page turner dal piglio trascinante, Margo ha problemi di soldi racconta la storia di una ventenne studentessa californiana, che un giorno scopre di aspettare un bambino da Mark, suo professore all’università, sposato e con due figli. Margo decide di tenere il bimbo, nonostante tutti le ricordino che l’aspetta una vita difficile, soprattutto perché non ha un soldo. E infatti, com’è prevedibile, quando Bodhi nasce la situazione si complica: le coinquiline con cui divide l’appartamento si lamentano per le urla del piccolo, Margo non riesce a trovargli un posto all’asilo nido e il ristorante in cui lavora la licenzia.
Del tutto al verde, Margo decide di sbarcare su OnlyFans ma la situazione finisce solo per intricarsi ulteriormente…
Con un tono scanzonato che accompagna il lettore lungo i divertenti successivi snodi di trama, Rufi Thorpe ha scritto un romanzo dal ritmo serrato che tiene il lettore incollato alla pagina con il sorriso sulle labbra, fino a un happy ending che lascia un sentimento di positività. E se per i personaggi, la materia trattata, l’ironia con cui si guarda al presente e la velocità della narrazione sembra quasi di leggere lo script di una sit-com, Thorpe è comunque abilissima nell’inserire riflessioni acute ed emozionanti sulla vita e le relazioni affettive, con una prosa molto curata e di grande potenza.

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.

I started this book eager to learn about Margo, but I had no idea I'd end up learning so much about myself!

ETA the narrator Elle Fanning was nominated for an Audie award for this book and she, along with Nicole Kidman, will star in the upcoming Apple TV series. Did I want to read about a teenage single mom who starts an OnlyFans account? Absolutely not. But my curiosity won out when I saw it on “best boo Leggi tutto
This is honestly a hard one for me because I went in super hesitantly as I am a swer and knew this could go off the rails or even get dangerous in messaging for unwitting young women.
