    About this audiobook

    This program is read by the authors, with Paul Giamatti, and includes sections recorded in front of a live audience.

    The highly anticipated first book by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, the voices behind the #1 hit podcast My Favorite Murder!

    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 Favorite Murder started as a way for Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark to work through their fears. Now it’s a worldwide community…. Even its darkest moments are lightened by Karen and Georgia's effortlessly funny banter and genuine empathy.” —RollingStone.com

      I have been listening to this podcast for a long time now and I am happy to be a part of the murderino community. This book is AMAZING even if you dont listen to the podcast. If you are coming to read it looking for murder look elsewhere however. This book is about how they got to where they are now and is so empowering and emotional. If I could give it 10 stars I would but 5 will do. SSDGM my friends!

      Already loved the podcast - the book was even more humanizing and I love the authors even more!
      Proud to be a Murderino!
    • 4/5
      I loved this audiobook! I'm a big fan of the podcast and this was a great extension of the show. I really enjoyed getting to know deeper explanations of some of the things Karen and Georgia talk about one the show.
    • 4/5
      This was a good listen, though definitely felt more like excerpts from podcasts mixed with some personal memoir of the authors. Really entertaining, though!!
    • 5/5
      Absolutely powerful and inspiring. These women are a powerhouse and forces to be reckoned with.
    • 5/5
      A treat for the ears and perfect gateway drug for budding murderinos everywhere.
    • 4/5
      If you love the My Favourite Murder podcast, then this one is Definitely for you!
    • 4/5
      There were some truly hilarious parts that I could relate to. Like everything about growing up in the 80’s. Also- love the **%#€ being polite mantra.
    • 3/5
      If you are looking for content on murder, there is very little. This is actually a self-help book. It was enjoyable. The writers are charming, smart, witty, and honest. It's good advice for people in their 20s or women who have found themselves in arrested development past their 20s.
    • 5/5
      Beautifully narrated! Binged this one and wish it were longer, well done ladies. I love their podcast and it was so insightful to hear some of their stories over a different medium.
    • 5/5
      These women are so amazing and funny! I loved the book!
    • 5/5
      A funny and heartwarming (sometimes heartbreaking) memoir that inspires deep friendship bonds, honest introspection, and courageous curiosity.
    • 5/5
      Thank you Karen and Georgia for your vulnerability. Love!
    • 4/5
      I found these two very enjoyable and relatable. This book made me feel more "normal" And brought many smiles to my face along the way.
    • 5/5
      These women are magical - they really will make you laugh out loud and cry in the same chapter. Love love love!
    • 5/5
      It felt amazing to learn more of the background stories and hear some advice that hit home
    • 5/5
      This book was everything I hoped it would be and more. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It made me feel not so alone, just like Karen and Georgia’s podcast does every time I listen to it. I’m going to listen to this at least 5 more times.
    • 4/5
      I've been a fan of the podcast since the beginning so it was a no brainer that I'd read the book. I really enjoyed getting to know more about Karen and Georgia's lives.
    • 5/5
      Just engaging and relatable and funny. A reminder that everyone screws up, yet the universe often rights itself.

      The 2 hosts of the My Favorite Murder podcast wrote a memoir. Listen to it! (And yes, I cried once. There’s a bit I’m going to send to my sister. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you hear it!)
    • 5/5
      As a listener and lover of Karen and Georgia's podcast, I hecking loved this book!!
    • 5/5
      Loved the podcast from the beginning and now love the book. I will be listening to this over and over again. Lovely
    • 5/5
      I didn't expect to have tears. So good. Honest. It just felt good.
