I'm going to listen to this book on my bad days, and all the days in between.
Gave this another read! 11.24.19
This book is really always here for me when I'm in a bad place. I have the audiobook so I get to listen to Karen and Georgia, and I feel like my best friends are reading me a bedtime story. Plus there are so many cute moments! Like where Georgia's dad comes on to tell us how to make bbq chicken!or how Georgia thanks her editor and the editor herself says "editors note: your welcome." At this moment in my life everything keeps happening. I lost my best friend. I had to revisit losing an entire FAMILY because of my sexuality so I could get money for school. Juat yesterday I had an hour long conversation with an old man who could not get past the fact that I was a lesbian. He offered to fuck me gently and complemented my toes and even rocked the bench we were sitting on to indicate... Well. Its so hard to fuck politeness and I keep failing in nopeing out of these situations. Karen and Georgia give me the courage to do better next time, and to be kind to myself for the way I handle things now. 7.3.2020

So good!
I had never heard of these 2 women or their podcast, I was caught by the title of this book and the ratings. I fell in love. They are funny, vulnerable, and amazing. I can’t wait to start listening to their podcast and look forward to their next book(s)!

I hesitated reading this for whatever reason. I still really like the podcast a lot, though I know many have recently become critical of it and it's now cool to NOT like it. For some reason I worried that this would make me not like the podcast anymore? But I'm so glad I read it. I did the audiobook, of course, which is delightful. It is interspersed with live readings of chapters, Paul Giamatti, and Karen and Georgia bantering with each other. All of that gave it the feel of an extended podcast. I really enjoyed the honesty and stories both told. Both are around my own age which makes their reflection, growth, and current satisfaction with their lives relateable to me. This was an enjoyable memoir and worth every moment.
NGL, when I first saw the acronym SSDGM on my friends Megan's Twitter page, I had to Google it. I am a big fan of the true-crime genre of literature, film and series, but haven't made my way over to podcasts.
I was not familiar with Karen Kilgariff or Georgia Hardstark, but chose to read their book as the "how-to guide" prompt on the Buzzword Reading Challenge I’m participating in.
I didn't really know what to expect from the book, but I found it funny, relatable, refreshing, and so thought-provoking.
I enjoyed their life stories and their honesty about being insecure, scared and confused when they were younger, and getting themselves in situations they were not sure they could get out of.
I listened the audiobook which they narrated themselves, and the emotions in their words added to the overall experience.
I can relate to Georgia in too many ways, it is actually a little creepy. I genuinely wish my 20 year old self would have been able to read these words. Overall the book was good but the structure was a bit messy and it lacked coming full circle in the end.
Fun quick audiobook. Fun to hear some back story and hear actual stories about life events they mention in their podcast. (I’m still in 2018 in the MFM archive)
