4.5

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.

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!

Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgarif take turns reminding readers to focus on themselves and their safety. The girls use their own experiences in order to advocate for self-care and self-awareness.

I'm a big fan of the podcast; however, the book just seemed like an extended version of the introductory discussion that happens before each episode. Though there is nothing necessarily wrong with that, it left me waiting for the real content to start...which never happened.

Love these ladies, love the podcast, and this book was a relatively quick read. With that said, I wish I would have just waited for it to become available at my local library instead of shelling out the money to purchase my own copy.
