BOOK 208: STAY SEXY & DON’T GET MURDERED: KAREN KILGARIFF & GEORGIA HARDSTARK

MY VERDICT: I am a big fan of this podcast. I started listening pretty close to the creation of what is now a podcast phenomenon. I even saw their live show in London last year. I was not as enamoured with this book though. It’s an easy read, it’s fine, I guess I was just expecting more. I was expecting it to maybe be deeper or more rewarding. There are a lot of what looks like filler, lists of things and advice that isn’t really advice. I love the girls and maybe was expecting a bit too much from them – I don’t know what I was expecting. It’s a fun read and there’s nothing wrong with it. I know Georgia’s mum fell out with her over some things that she’d written but I couldn’t find anything really salacious about it. Maybe because I read it on and off over a long period of time it lost its effect on me and I maybe have forgotten the best bits. I still stand by their mantra, stay out of the forest and buy your own shit; they do have some useful words of wisdom.
