I laughed and cried my way through this book. All Murderinos will appreciate this deeper look into the minds and histories of our best friends, Karen and Georgia.
Quirky and fun, this memoir by the podcasters behind “My Favorite Murder” share stories about the path leading them to their current fame. Some chapters hit better than others, while a couple felt disjointed. However, the chapters analyzing their personal growth and understanding of the intersections of feminism, patriarchal views and crime were where they really hit their stride.

i went into this knowing absolutely nothing about the podcast and thought this was just Average
I love Karen and Georgia. They are hilarious and irreverent. They make you cry and laugh in this book. If you love the podcast, like me, you will love this book because they reveal their vulnerabilities. The highs and lows of life themselves.
PS: When I hear about the Swiss Cheese Pervert, I immediately laugh uncontrollably.

Easily 5 stars had it not been for the cringey introvert- and vegan-shaming (these jokes are old and were never funny to begin with).
Otherwise, I loved the humor and insights of this book from these super funny ladies I can easily imagine myself being friends with, casually chit-chatting about murder, mental health, and being left home alone at way too young an age.

This is probably the only memoir/autobiography I'll ever be able to read. It's just the written version of their podcast (minimal murder) which made it 100000% easy to read and laugh about.
Stay Sexy And Don't Get Murdered is a warm hug. I absolutely loved this book, and I felt like I was listening to friends telling me stories from their lives.
Honestly, don't let the title fool you! It's not about murder, it's two awesome, funny, honest people taking about their fears and struggles. True crime does come up, but this book is not about that.
My Favorite Murder is one of my favorite podcasts, and when they announced they were coming out with a book, I knew I had to read it! Or in this case, listen to it, because I wouldn't have it any other way. Especially since the book is narrated by Georgia and Karen.
I am, however, terrible at reading books I own right away, especially audio books. But I've been in an MFM mood- to the point where I went back to the very beginning and started listening to their entire back catalog of episodes.
So back to the book. Each chapter title related to the podcast in some way, which is really cool. And I loved hearing them share stories from their lives. One of the stories that really stuck with me was hearing Karen's story about her mom having Alzheimer's and the struggles of that. For some reason, it really made me think of my grandma, and not only could I relate but it really made me miss her.
I loved the honesty and openness with the stories they shared, and as I finished the book on my way to work one morning, I found myself crying. I really felt like things were going to be okay. Not that they aren't okay, because they are but there was something very reassuring about this book. I'm not always great at taking care of myself, and I really need to do better with that. Something about listening to this book, and how open both of them are about their struggles with mental health and anxiety felt very reassuring- that I'm not the only going through it, and to take care of yourself and find your fucking hooray.
I had a lot of fun listening to this book, and while I cried, I also laughed! I would like to add in that just thinking about how much I loved this book and how much it means to me is making me teary-eyed. It's not what I was expecting, especially since I'm at the library as I'm writing this. But it's quiet since I'm writing this during the week, on a kind-of random day off, and I am sitting in the corner. And it's a library, so all in all, it's quiet, and there's no one near me. Honestly, it might not be the weirdest thing at the library.
I feel like I'm going pretty off-topic for this book review, but I also feel like that's sort of like the podcast. It's fun to listen to (like the book) but I feel like I'm all over the place and can't write a coherent review. Honestly, it's an amazing book, and worth reading.
My Rating: 5 stars. I absolutely loved this book, and I especially recommend the audio book! I loved hearing Georgia and Karen tell their own stories.
