Seven titles for fans of "Margo’s Got Money Troubles"

At Book Riot Megan Mabee tagged seven books for fans of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, including:

The Girls from Corona del Mar by Rufi Thorpe

I couldn’t kick off this list without mentioning Rufi Thorpe’s exceptional backlist, which I’m working my way through now. While I’d recommend them all, this debut novel by Thorpe emphasizes motherhood themes, so it has the closest feel to Margo’s story. Mia and Lorrie Ann have been best friends since they were kids, and as they grow up, they’ll face ups and downs in life, including abortion, motherhood, love, loss, substance abuse, and discovering their passions. I like Thorpe’s nuanced examination of friendship and how these relationships change as we do. This story is so heartbreaking at times, yet hopeful too. It’s one of those books that stays with you.
