english review

Summary: 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.

My review: I LOVE THESE WOMEN. I LOVE THIS BOOK. BYE.

That's kinda it. That's all I want to scream in the book review void and just kinda leave again.

First off all, THIS was the perfect book after my week long vacation away from books. This was the perfect book to get back into reading and really enjoying every little thing about it. THIS WAS PERFECT.

I love these wonderful ladies. I loved learning more about them and hearing all the things they have been through. I especially love how open they are about mental health and therapy. It makes me feel like I TOO, can get a handle on things, if I just take my time and work on it.

I love the writing. I love that while reading it, I could hear them telling me these stories. I felt just as connected to them as I feel when I'm listening to a podcast episode.
Also, PICTURES (and artwork)!!!!

The thing with this book that excited me the most was the fact that I wasn't even half way through with it and I already talked about how I can't wait to reread this over and over again.

I'M FULL OF LOVE AND ALL THE PRAISES FOR THIS BOOK.

I HIGHLY recommend you listen to the audiobook version of this book because it is narrated by the writers and you'll miss a lot of the emotion in the words if you don't hear them tell it. I also suggest that you only pick it up only if you are a fan of the My Favorite Murder podcast - otherwise you might not get what it is all about and you'll probably be very disappointed and will be left scratching your head at the title. It's not a guidebook instructing you how to "Stay Sexy & Don't Murdered" (that's the tagline of the true-crime comedy show), it's a book about the podcasters very personal, very intimate struggles with family, mental health and their careers. As a fan of the show, I found it both interesting, painful and funny - just like the weekly podcast.

Recommended to fans of the podcast only, especially if you're super nosy like myself
