Admittedly an intriguing title, I picked up this book based on a recommendation from a friend, but couldn't persist after about 100 pages. It's written by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, who are co-hosts of the podcast "My Favorite Murder!" Part memoir and part advice column, the book shares stories from their own backgrounds, "their biggest mistakes and deepest fears, reflecting on the formative life events that shaped them" and also "focus[es] on the importance of self-advocating and valuing personal safety over being 'nice' or 'helpful'"(from the publisher). Of course they bring in stories of true crimes since that's what their podcast is all about. As Publishers' Weekly notes, "The genres of true crime and self-help might seem like odd bedfellows, but Kilgariff and Hardstark... create a winningly quirky amalgamation of the two."
