Margo’s Got Money Troubles ft Rocky road bites

I didn’t really know what to expect going into Margot’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe. The title is eye-catching (obviously), and I’d seen it floating around, but I went in without any real expectations. A few chapters in, though? I was hooked.

Margot is one of those characters who feels instantly familiar—not because she’s perfect or polished, but because she’s messy, complicated, and entirely human. She’s the kind of person you root for even when you don’t agree with everything she does. I didn’t love every choice she made, but that’s kind of the point. Her story feels raw and real in a way that sneaks up on you, and before you know it, you’re all in.

This book is equal parts sharp, funny, and heartbreaking. It explores class, ambition, power, and identity in a way that’s both clever and unflinchingly honest. It doesn’t try to give you a character to admire—it gives you someone to understand.

Now, let’s talk treats. While reading this, I had some mini rocky roads by my side. Fitting, honestly—Margot’s journey is rocky to say the least, but it’s also rich, layered, and unexpectedly satisfying. Just like the book, they’re a little messy but seriously good.

If you’re in the mood for a character-driven story that feels like a late-night conversation with a friend who's seen some sh*t, this one’s worth picking up.
