Jess&Jamie: Just like listening to the podcast, reading this book is like sitting down to chat with your best friends. Karen and Georgia are exceptional storytellers, and their humor, passion, and vulnerability keep you turning the page.

Amber Butterfield: The book is amazing, but the fact that the dust jacket came damaged and I'm not happy about that. It makes me mad knowing that I bought a brand new book intended for a gift and that it came damaged with what seemed to be oil on the jacket. When I bought this book at my local bookstore it was perfect and had no damage. It makes me angery to know Amazon is treating books like this or someone along the line is.

Joanna Miles: I am a huge fan of their podcast and a true murderino. If you don’t know, look it up. What I thought would be a tell all about how true crime has affected their lives, it’s really a tell all about how they arrived emotionally, spiritually, and physically to the point where this podcast germinated and became a thing. It’s true in that the journey is the message and what a journey! SSDGM indeed.

Casey Irene: OMG OMG OMG If you LOVE My Favourite Murder, and if you LOVE Georgia Hardstark & Karen Kilgariff, then you are going to be blown away by their combined How to Guide/Mini Biographies! These girls make you feel like they are the sisters you never had and always wanted.

Christine Bayley: I’ve loved the podcast since it’s inception and I’ve loved getting to know both Karen and Georgia through that, so when I heard about this book I got so excited because here was another way of learning more about the people I had come to admire and respect so much. Karen’s parts of the book were as you would expect, funny, insightful and full of well thought out advice, however, she does show a much softer side to her you don’t see all that often and when she opens up you can’t help but connect (and in my case, cry my eyes out). I knew Karen’s writing and stories were going to be brilliant because of her background in comedy and writing, but what I didn’t expect was to be so blown away by Georgia. Georgia has to be one of the best authors I have read in a long time, her writing pulls you in, so much so that you actually feel like you’re in that car, driving up that mountain with her. She writes so honestly and openly in this book that it makes me rethink any previous notions I’ve had of her. I know she’s funny and clever but this book reveals so much more of her and just what a talent she is. I sincerely hope she writes another novel because I would...

Ms. Magoo: Are you obsessed with murder and true crime? Well, I am too! And luckily for me, two wonderful ladies created a podcast, called My Favorite Murder, to satisfy all the closet murderinos of the world. Then, they took it a step further. They wrote a book! In Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-to Guide, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark tell us all of their life stories we’ve been dying to hear. They take us through the most important events in their lives and how they shaped them into the people they are today.

Can I just say how amazing this book was? It was hilarious, insightful and inappropriate at times (which I truly love), and I just tore through this book. Karen and Georgia find countless ways to turn a hard life event an turn it into an incredibly entertaining lesson for us folks at home. I felt like I was truly getting to know these two women I constantly listen to in my car. There was never a dull moment, each section bringing something new and fun to an already amazing book! There were so many wonderful teachings about life hidden within each humorous page.

If I could recommend this book a million times I would. It’s not just...

Amazon Customer: Much like the podcast it is funny, touching, conversational, and powerful. Karen and Georgia write in distinct, hilarious styles even when speaking about dark or low moments in their lives. The essays are mostly thematically organized with just enough off-the-cuff commentary and styling to be true to the authors themselves. Even though a few thematic chapters seem like their two essays aren't that similar in topic you don't mind the slight shoehorning of a story to fit the chapter because they are just so lovely to read.

Moments and lessons only mentioned on the podcast get deeper dives here - and what really comes through truly is their willingness to be totally open to teach nieces, young women, and even our younger selves about how to navigate this world. Vulnerability gets a lot of mentions and the book speaks to the power of opening yourself up for witness. The community these two women have cultivated is a testament to how important therapy, vulnerability, and being kind to yourself really is. This book is an extension of the podcast bookends, the intro and outro, and I believe many fans (and non-fans) will recognize feelings and thoughts and experiences they share...

Kelsey M: You don't have to be a fan of the massively popular My Favorite Murder podcast to enjoy this book, but as a fan who is already familiar with the writers, this book is such a joy. Karen and Georgia are incredible women all on their own, but their friendship is also really special, and I was thrilled to hear it reflected in the (audio)book as it is in the podcast. I think their friendship is a huge reason why MFM is so fun and comforting... a tremendously difficult achievement with MURDER being a primary theme, but it's ultimately a testament to their talent and authenticity. I believe Karen described the podcast as a "hang", and that's how it feels... that's how the book feels, too. These are your smart, funny, no BS girlfriends or sisters sharing stories, advice, and love, with each other and with their audience, and I'm here for it. I've enjoyed and appreciated their honesty, vulnerability, thoughtfulness, comedy, and friendship for years on the podcast, and am so excited for this addition to the MFM universe. The book delves deeper into things Karen and Georgia have discussed on the show, as well as new things, and they do it in their own perfect way that fans especially know...
