The way I happy shrieked when I saw this in my inbox! I was so happy to learn some more BTS details on Margo, and especially about the wrestling piece and LARPing hopes for the show. I really cannot wait to see how this translates to screen.

Omg yes - Suzie was such a memorable character and I can’t wait for her to come to life on the screen!

Everyone who loves Margot should check out Rufi’s other novels! The Knockout Queen especially is excellent! I’m thrilled Rufi is getting the spotlight she deserves 👑

Great interview! I just read Margo's Got Money Troubles last month and I absolutely loved it! It is so funny and touching and Margo is such an easy heroine to root for. What I love in Rufi's writing is that she clearly tries to see the humanity in all of her characters.

I so agree with your comment about seeing the humanity in all of her characters. I can’t think of one that just felt like a flat, stock character.

What a fun interview! Rufi’s personality shines and proves my suspicion that’s she’s cool as hell!

I’m reading Margos got Money Troubles right now and am loving it. Jinx’s fatherly moments make my heart go soft, it’s so wholesome, and I adore Margo’s personality.

She IS so cool! If you’d like another burst of delight, I encourage you to go to her website. It’s just…fun? Weird? In a good way. And same, I couldn’t help but root for Margo throughout the book.
