An absolutely amazing autobiography. I love MFM and have been a fan for four years now. I bought the hardback a year ago, but I decided to get the audiobook and hear Georgia and Karen's story from their own mouths. This book had me laughing and crying (so much crying) and I learned so much about myself and the other women around me. It made me feel seen and that I wasn't alone in the experiences that I've had with myself, my mother, and my experiences with men and society. These are two incredible women and I want to thank them so much for sharing their story and baring their souls. It's raw, vulnerable, and overall kickass.

this is the highly anticipated MFM memoir! i normally don’t like memoirs, but i really enjoyed this one. karen & georgia became much more relatable human beings, and they really perfected their brand of humor here.

Perfect book for fans of the podcast. Going in blind you'll miss some of the emotion and jokes. But definitely something for everyone.

This books wasn’t exactly what I was expecting from the mfm girls, but I nonetheless think it was good. It was vulnerable and personal, and helped give insight on the host of one of my favorite podcasts to listen to.

Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered is a great companion book to listen to when you've caught up on all the My Favorite Murder podcast episodes. This funny, inspiring, and brutally true book gives readers a closer look at how Georgia and Karen are as real people. Hilarious stories, true crime, and practical mental health advice all in one place!
