Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide
The instant #1 New York Times and USA Today best seller by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, the voices behind the hit podcast My Favorite Murder now available in paperback. Includes special bonus material!
Sharing never-before-heard stories ranging from their struggles with depression, eating disorders, and addiction, Karen and Georgia irreverently recount their biggest mistakes and deepest fears, reflecting on the formative life events that shaped them into two of the most followed voices in the nation.
In Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered, Karen and Georgia focus on the importance of self-advocating and valuing personal safety over being ‘nice’ or ‘helpful.’ They delve into their own pasts, true crime stories, and beyond to discuss meaningful cultural and societal issues with fierce empathy and unapologetic frankness.
“In many respects, Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered distills the My Favorite Murder podcast into its most essential elements: Georgia and Karen. They lay themselves bare on the page, in all of their neuroses, triumphs, failures, and struggles. From eating disorders to substance abuse and kleptomania to the wonders of therapy, Kilgariff and Hardstark recount their lives with honesty, humor, and compassion, offering their best unqualified life-advice along the way.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Like the podcast, the book offers funny, feminist advice for survival—both in the sense of not getting killed and just, like, getting a job and working through your personal shit so you can pay your bills and have friends.” —Rolling Stone

If you don’t listen to the podcast, please go do so!
If I had a criticism, it would be that I kind of expected...more? I'm not quite sure how or in what way, and maybe it was just that the book felt fairly short, but I just thought that there could have been more somehow, or for them to go deeper into some of the things that were alluded to, particularly mental health stuff since the book is supposed to be part self-help as well. It felt like they did less of that in this book than they normally do on the podcast. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed reading it, I just wanted more from them (as I always do)!

All in all, I think Karen and Georgia are v entertaining. There were aspects of this book I really enjoyed, but I was kind of bummed by the lack of true crime.
