Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe

Hot Mess Express: The Margo Edition

The book club pick for July is Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe — and let’s just say, Margo is making some choices. Some good, some questionable, all totally discussable.

This sharp, funny, and fearless novel dives into motherhood, internet fame, financial chaos, and the complicated things we do to survive — with a heroine who’s equal parts bold and broke (and we’re kind of obsessed with her).

Come ready to laugh, vent, side-eye some life decisions, and celebrate a story that’s as messy and real as it gets. Whether you read it in one sitting or skimmed the spicy bits — we want you there.

OC Women, Words and Wine offers a welcoming space for like-minded women to come together, share their thoughts, and form connections over great (and not so great) literature and great wine.
