What is this book about?
It’s a dual memoir, collection of humorous essays, social study, feminist manifesto, advice book, and true crime analysis book by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, the voices behind the true crime comedy 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.
