Ratings and reviews

I am a huge fan of their podcast! I have been sucking up all their podcasts in the evening and now while driving, and learned they had written a book! I couldn't wait to buy the audio book (I use audio to lessen my new and horrible tinnitus and because I am not a huge fan of holding and flipping pages of a book, to each their own!) Although I am much older in age, 62 ugh, not my young spirit! I could relate completely to what they were expressing. I wish you all the success! Stay Sexy and DGM!

This book is amazing, even if you're not a murderino. It made me scream laugh, cry, scream laugh some more, and dropped some major life advice. It's raw in an unexpected way and I can't recommend it enough.

Karen & Georgia (and Paul Giamatti) did an excellent job of narrating. As a listener of MFM I knew they would be excellent at reading their own stories. I am so grateful for this book in general, I cried, I laughed, I make everyone listen to it with me. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in creating this loveliness.
