"This was a fun memoir to read filled with some funny anecdotes."

Olivia Huie

"If you don't listen to the My Favorite Murder podcast, you probably won't connect with this book. However, I've been a long time fan and enjoyed every single page. A delightful discussion with two women who strive to be vulnerable for the benefit and growth of themselves and for others. It has me reflect on the person I strive to be and hopefully one day I can be as open as them. Love this book!"

Haley Reads

"Everything Karen and Georgia do is five stars. I was expecting a lot out of this book and it delivered that and more. Not only have these ladies satiated my desire for true crime week after week, they have shown me and countless others why it is we are so interested in the subject. I love how the book describes perfect how you simultaneously are and aren’t the victim of your situation, how it isn’t your fault that life happened to you, but it is your responsibility to react the best way you can. I am endlessly thankful for the light they have shed on such a taboo subject (and my own personal life) as well as the voice they have given to victims and their family. Stay sexy and don’t pass up on this book."

Sierra Kirstatter

"Refreshingly realistic and brutally honest. This book is hilarious and I loved every bit of it"

Emma Schroeder

"Found this book randomly one day at the library and thought it looked interesting. I've also wandered by it several times at the bookstore. I have never listened to their podcast so I didn't have much prior knowledge going in. Interesting read about their backgrounds and how it turned the authors into the people they are today. Probably not something I would re-read but some interesting words of wisdom throughout."

Victoria Dears

"Didn't think I would like this as much as I did, as I haven't listened to the podcast in years. Massive reread potential."

"Not what I expected but it was good for a few laughs. Especially the part about what it was like to be a latchkey kid and have a free range childhood in the early 80s."

"Every woman should ready this! Such good advice and so funny! I can’t recommend enough! I have bought several copies as gifts! "

Amy

"Karen and Georgia's voice shines through in this memoir. Reading it feels like you are having a conversation with your best pals. Although, I am not sure that those who have not listened to the podcast before would enjoy it as much."
