Publisher's Summary

Pretty Mess meets #Girlboss in this part memoir, part entrepreneurial manifesto from The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s “Powerhouse in Pigtails".

Margaret Josephs is a hustler. She’s a tough cookie. She speaks her mind. She never leaves the house without lipstick on. She’s also a devoted wife, mother, daughter, businesswoman, lifestyle expert, and fan-favorite star of the reality TV series The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Sounds pretty glamorous, right? Well, things are never exactly as they seem.

Before she arrived where she is today, “The Marge” was born to young immigrant parents. Raised by a single party-girl mother who left her physically abusive father when she was one and a half, she was taught that it was more important to look good than to feel good. No structure. No rules. No blueprint for future success or stability. But, like most people who struggle through atypical childhoods, destructive relationships, and career challenges, she forced herself to wake up every morning and put one high heel in front of the other, even if she didn’t know where she was going.

Margaret took the cards she was dealt and eventually turned them into a winning hand, and she wants to arm fans with the ability to do the same. In Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget, she’ll talk about how to launch a lifestyle brand, how to work with family members, and how to be an uncompromising woman in a man’s world. She also spills stories from her personal life about the son Real Housewives viewers don’t know exists, the time Joan Rivers gave her the best advice she ever got, the rendezvous she had with a famous rock star, and the affair with her contractor that ended her marriage but gave her the happily ever after.

Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget takes fans along Margaret’s wild, bumpy journey to entrepreneurial success and reality TV fame, written in her trademark no-nonsense, tongue-in-cheek voice with the perfect combination of grit and glitz.

Better than expected!

She’s abrasive but incredibly likeable. True to form she is who she is in the reading of the book as she is as on tv.

It was distracting in moments when you could tell she was reading and I found her to go quite fast at times. This was an easy listen (without kids in earshot) and made me laugh out loud several times.

I like the Marge.

One bad ass woman!!!

Loved listening to this book. Margaret is so real, to the point and unfiltered. It's nice to read/listen to a book about someone's life and feel like they're not bullshitting you. This is her life through her eyes and you can hear it as she reads through each chapter. Such a great book and thank you for a great listen!!

I absolutely couldn’t stop listening to my audiobook version!!!

Margaret I watch you every week on RHONJ and I LOVE you and your honesty! It’s soooo refreshing to have someone standing up for themselves and their friends!
I absolutely couldn’t stop listening to my audiobook version! It flowed so easily I was hooked after the first chapter! You are a strong woman and very deserving of the love you have finally found with Joe ❤️
Wishing you all the caviar you can handle! 😘

It’s ok

Even though Margaret is funny - the story is meh. I didn’t love chapter 19 when is all about promoting her brands and potcast .
