"Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark share practical wisdom in "Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered," which is a No. 1 debut on our advice, how-to and miscellaneous best-seller list."--The New York Times

"Hardstark and Kilgariff's podcast takes on crime, death and other gory subjects, all filtered through the pair's subversive wit as they riff on life's craziness, often sharing details from their own mental health and substance abuse struggles. This openness translates onto the page. A kind of life guide...the book is just as funny as the podcast but often goes deeper into painful subjects." --Los Angeles Times

"All the best advice your mother never told you." --Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy

"Kilgariff and Hardstark bring a much needed dimension to our current, true crime fever dream--an empathetic, slangy dose of acidic humor, weary compassion, and nervous hope. Their podcast is a joy to listen to and this book captures its energy and hilarity perfectly." --Patton Oswalt, New York Times bestselling author of Silver Screen Fiend

"In addition to being laugh-out-loud funny, smart, and incisive, Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered is so interesting and insightful that it made me a) want to be best friends with the authors and b) for real ask them to take me on as a therapy patient.

You'll emerge at the final word as a new-and-improved badass version of your former self." --Megan Mullally, New York Times bestselling co-author of The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

And ready to destroy toxic masculinity. Karen and Georgia are the voice of a movement--badass and vulnerable as hell--and this is their manifesto." --Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of There's Someone Inside Your House
