3.0

A book that takes a look behind the scenes with the creators of the"My Favorite Murder" podcast. If you already love their personalities, you're going to love this book. Looking at the backstories of the Karen and Georgia, learn about their lives and what makes them, them.

I listened to this on audiobook. It was okay, but I think I would have enjoyed it better if I was a fan of the podcast as well. I found some stories more engrossing than others, as you do, but nothing really grabbed me (like the note that

). There are some good bits, but I stand by it that this book is for listeners who already love the podcast.

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring tense medium-paced

This books wasn’t exactly what I was expecting from the mfm girls, but I nonetheless think it was good. It was vulnerable and personal, and helped give insight on the host of one of my favorite podcasts to listen to.

I went into this book knowing a relatively small amount about it. I saw it being posted on social media here and there, and the title grabbed me (props to whoever came up with it). It was fun to hear Georgia and Karen's stories, and how they relate to both their podcast/career and various real-life experiences. As someone who is also very interested in crime, murder, true crime, etc., I found myself wanting more of that discussion than what was in the book. Although I was not familiar with the authors' podcast prior to reading this book, after reading it I would definitely check their podcast out.

Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgarif take turns reminding readers to focus on themselves and their safety. The girls use their own experiences in order to advocate for self-care and self-awareness.
