I waited FAR too long to read this. I’ve been a Murderino for a couple of years, and this book absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. I know it might be asking a lot, but I sincerely hope Karen and Georgia try to write something again in the future because they are true gems. Do yourself a favor and read this book, you need it in your life.

Entertaining. Lighthearted. Nothing life shattering.

The book was a silly, lighthearted and a fast read. Don’t expect it to change your life or make a huge impact, but it was entertaining and worth the time. To be fair, I’ve never heard of their podcast or these two women, so my take was less influenced by a preexisting knowledge of the authors.

I had no knowledge of the ladies from the podcast that this was based on prior to listening to the audio book. The first few chapters I felt like I was listening to a self-help book. Despite this fact (since I typically loathe self-help books), I was actually finding myself listening and laughing along. But then the next few chapters were more biographical and then at times a bit podcast. Whatever this hot mess of a train wreck was I found myself interested and listened to the entire book while working today.

So good! Written by the podcasters from My Favorite Murder, it’s a heartfelt and hysterical look into how society perceives women and the pitfalls women constantly experience. Plus, there’s some interesting facts about murder...as a murderino, that was the cherry on top for me!

Having never listened to the My Favorite Murder Podcast, I was still interested in this book and had been seeing it around a lot. I hoped because of the hype, I would still enjoy it even though I didn’t have a clue who Karen and Georgia are. This book is a mix memoir and self help about the author’s lives and experiences. I listened to it on audiobook and it was part live recording and part audiobook which is very conversational. It’s engaging and easy to listen to. While there were many parts I enjoyed and that resonated with me, it mostly felt like one long rambling podcast with no connection between chapters. My guess is fans of My Favorite Murder will love it and feel more connected to the authors, but people on the outside will probably have a more meh experience with it.

The only thing that throws me off is if you’re listening to the audio book- there are sections recorded from live shows and doesn’t match the text word from word. But it is also fun having different voices in the audiobook like Marty and all the other guest who jump in.

I've listened to a couple episodes of the podcast and enjoyed it, but this book sent me over the edge! The creators are awesome, and hearing about their (very relatable) childhoods and early adulthood resonated with me deeply. I happened to enjoy this one as an audiobook—highly recommend!

An audiobook that was more like a podcast than a book, but it was excellent. I don't often listen to podcasts, but I found these ladies to be funny and interesting and moving. Although I am probably not the primary intended audience, I couldn't stop listening. I have never heard of either woman but found their stories to be remarkable and real. The one thing that really stood out for me was just how grateful these ladies are to be where they are, doing something they absolutely love with people they care about and respect. And ultimately, in each of their journeys, they have learned to love themselves. It's not the end because as they say, they're a work in progress, but they are definitely headed in the direction they want to be. Although I would not recommend this for younger kids because of the language, I found it very entertaining, f-bombs and all, and quite informative. Ultimately, although they do talk about serial killers, which is the subject of their podcast, this book is much more about each of their individual journeys that led them to each other and their podcast. Definitely recommend this one.
