'Margo's Got Money Troubles' is a story about a young single mother who is trying to get by and find a way to gain money to raise her child.
The book, for me at least, wasn't funny. It was emotional, it was sad at times and kind of intense when it came to the custody battle, but I didn't laugh at all. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the book, it was pretty interesting and kind of feel good in the end, but it wasn't funny...
Also, the change of POVs, especially with the audiobook, was annoying and anticlimactic. I get why the author chose to do it, but it didn't feel smooth.
Nevertheless, it was a nice book and I enjoyed the story and the characters.
