Story
I order another bourbon, neat. This is the drink that will flip the switch. I don’t even know how I got here, to this place, to this point. Something is happening to me lately. I’m drinking too much. My sheets are soaking wet when I wake up from nightmares of decaying corpses. I order another drink and swig it, trying to forget about the latest case I can’t shake. Crime solving for me is more complex than the challenge of the hunt, or the process of piecing together a scientific puzzle. The thought of good people suffering drives me to the point of obsession.

Story
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

Story
Berkeley, California, 1933. In a lab filled with curiosities - beakers, microscopes, Bunsen burners, and hundreds upon hundreds of books - sat an investigator who would go on to crack at least 2,000 cases in his 40-year career. Known as the "American Sherlock Holmes", Edward Oscar Heinrich was one of America's greatest - and first - forensic scientists, with an uncanny knack for finding clues, establishing evidence, and deducing answers with a skill that seemed almost supernatural.

Publisher's Summary
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 number-one 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)
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
What the critics say
"Hardstark and Kilgariff’s podcast takes on crime, death and other gory subjects, all filtered through the pair’s subversive wit as they riff on life’s craziness, often sharing details from their own mental health and substance abuse struggles. This openness translates onto the page. A kind of life guide...the book is just as funny as the podcast but often goes deeper into painful subjects." (Los Angeles Times)
“Kilgariff and Hardstark bring a much needed dimension to our current, true crime fever dream - an empathetic, slangy dose of acidic humor, weary compassion, and nervous hope. Their podcast is a joy to listen to and this book captures its energy and hilarity perfectly.” (Patton Oswalt, New York Times best-selling author of Silver Screen Fiend)
“In addition to being laugh-out-loud funny, smart, and incisive, Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered is so interesting and insightful that it made me a) want to be best friends with the authors and b) for real ask them to take me on as a therapy patient. This book is hilarious, honest, insightful, and clever as hell. Do yourself a fun favor by buying it and consuming it. You’ll emerge at the final word as a new-and-improved badass version of your former self.”(Megan Mullally, New York Times best-selling coauthor of The Greatest Love Story Ever Told)

Do it for the murderinos!
I had a hard time wanting to keep reading this book and finished it more out of loyalty than intrigue, something about the style it was written.. more like a collection of awkward valedictorian speech scripts, didn't do it for me. Regardless of that, I found the content completely relatable and will always read any book these two beautiful souls put out. SSDGM

An okay experience
This is a book written specifically for their fans, i'm doubtful anyone who hasn't listened to their podcast will get much from it. I wouldn't say it's a definitive how-to guide about anything, really, although i appreciate the intent was likely more of a self help book. It's a collection of their own stories and personal anecdotes mixed in with some rather vague life advice - (do something you love, buy your own things with your own money - sums it up basically). Nothing more insightful. It's fine for what it is. I do enjoy Karen and Georgia and think they're good storytellers, although they're at their best when they can banter off each other. For this reason i enjoy the podcast more than i did the book, although it was an easy listen and the narration was pretty great.

Jarring live sequences really hurt this book
As a big fan of this podcast, I was quite excited to hear that they were writing a book and that there would be an audiobook version. I immediately placed a pre-order for the book and downloaded it immediately. If you are a fan of the podcast - you will know that a lot of the interest from that is the riffing between Karen and Georgia, something that they have tried to recreate somewhat in the 'in conclusion' sections of some chapters but this somewhat falls flat as they are trying to go for a more 'professional' sound.
Which is why the sudden and seemingly random switches to a live reading of the chapter for no apparent reason off-putting. If you are going to go to the effort of having a polished product that loses some of the appeal of the original product because it doesn't have the bantery back and forth bits - why include a couple chapters read live? It doesn't even make sense for the chapter to be read live, the audience interaction is completely unnecessary and makes it harder to understand. They aren't even together for the live read chapters so it is extra weird and unnecessary.

Podcast material
Title is the best thing about the book. Story is about applauding mental therapy and the authors' personal struggles / finding their common bond with others for true crime story enthusiasm.

Thank you for making us Murderinos feel “normal” about our obsession with true crime!
I’ve been listening to the MFM podcast for a few months now, so I still have about 2 years worth of episodes to finish…I have enjoyed every single episode! I love Karen and Georgia- their transparency and vulnerability when it comes to mental heath issues, therapy, drug/alcohol dependency and their childhoods. Being born in the early 80’s, there are so many things they talk about in their book that are relatable. Keep up the amazing work ladies!
From one of your many Canadian Murderinos!

Amazingly honest and real, I cried.
I was not expecting to get emotional listening to this book but boy did it hit home. It is so relatable from men being pushy and over stepping and just brushing it off with a polite smile, to the sibling rivalry and then being your best friend later in life. Thank you for this book, I wish I had it in my teen years
