I've been a big fan of Karen anf Georgia for years, and was super surpised to see their book at a local bookshop. Snatched it right up.

I really enjoyed their account of how they came about their love of true crime, therapy, and the world of podcasting. I loved them going deeper into their popular catchphrases. 

I particularly loved Georgia's side of things, with some really deep and personal things that I didn't know about. 

A lot of things resonated with me. Top things are:

- "bigger dummies than you have done it"
- "you dont need to be motivated. You just need to do it"

Really enjoyed this, super quick read.

I loved learning more about Karen & Georgia‘s personal lives, and listening to the audio version made this feel like an extended version of the podcast. and while I‘d listen to ANYTHING narrated by those women, this truly didn’t disappoint. I‘ve learned so much from them & it’s super entertaining at the same time (entertaining doesn’t mean lighthearted though - the second Karen started crying, I did too). but seriously, I don’t think I could ever get tired of them.

Karen did say readers younger than 20 should go read sth else but obviously I didn’t listen & having finished it now, I genuinely think this is a great book for young people (well not too young maybe)

Meaningful messages, but not a whole lot of “don’t get murdered” specific advice. Thought it would be a bit more true crime focused than it was. Also, self help is not my typical genre so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

An absolutely amazing autobiography. I love MFM and have been a fan for four years now. I bought the hardback a year ago, but I decided to get the audiobook and hear Georgia and Karen's story from their own mouths. This book had me laughing and crying (so much crying) and I learned so much about myself and the other women around me. It made me feel seen and that I wasn't alone in the experiences that I've had with myself, my mother, and my experiences with men and society. These are two incredible women and I want to thank them so much for sharing their story and baring their souls. It's raw, vulnerable, and overall kickass.

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.
