Do you love Podcasts? True Crime? Then you will love Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark.
Are you a murderino?
If you aren’t then this probably sounds weird to you. The community of people who follow Karen & Georgia’s Podcast: My Favorite Murder are called Murderinos. It’s basically a cult. But a good cult, not the creepy drink the kool-aid and die kind.
Genre: Non-fiction, Memoir, True Crime
At first glance it would be easy to assume this is a book about true crime, especially since that is what the podcast is about but this is a collection of stories from Georgia & Karen’s lives woven into tips about to stay sexy and not get murdered with a sprinkling of true crime stories.
The biggest takeaway?
In short? F**k Politeness.
“But for women, it’s so much more than that. The politeness that we’re raised to prioritize, first and foremost, against our better judgment and whether we feel like being polite or not, is the perfect systematically ingrained personality trait for manipulative, controlling people to exploit.”
Let that sink in. How many times in your life have you ended up in a situation that was not really the best for you because of politeness?
Short & Sweet Review
They are hilarious, sarcastic, foul mouthed and kind of ridiculous and I really want to to be their best friend. I actually both read and listened to it because as I was reading I realized I would probably love it more if I could hear their voices and I was right.
I laughed out loud and I cried. When they got deeply personal about their lives and touched on topics like anxiety, therapy, and drug abuse it made it easier to relate and hard not to feel for them.
Some things to think about
As mentioned above, they drop curse words like beats and they get real personal about their lives so it is something to keep in mind. You were warned.
Ooh and definitely don’t get into cars with relative strangers. Well…I guess we do this with Uber every time so maybe just be more aware!
