All Opal Slepecki wants is loyalty. But when her badly behaved friends refuse to kill her, it’s impossible to feel loved.

It’s been eighteen agonizing hours since she asked her friends to help her die. And now, it’s gone quiet.

She knew the request would be jarring, awkward even, but the brash pill-popper, the shameless exhibitionist, and the quiet beauty have weathered worse.

Haven’t they?

Told with biting humor, brutal honesty, and moments of absurd laughter, Why Is My Bra Still On? is a darkly comedic, deeply emotional story about love, loyalty, and what it really means to be family.

Because this isn’t just about helping a friend. It’s about who they were, who they are, and whether they still have the guts to show up for one another—without conditions.

For listeners who are into, wildly inappropriate female protagonists—or fans of We All Want Impossible Things, The Wedding People, and We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, then Why Is My Bra Still On? is for you.

Beautiful story

Why Is My Bra Still On is laugh out loud funny, tearfully sad, quick witted, and a tribute to forever friendships.
The audio book was wonderful to listen to. Maria Jette brought the women to life with her outstanding reading . Her reading is as beautiful as her singing.
I strongly recommend this title. I would love to see this as a mini series or movie. The characters are so unique and funny. The story line is well thought out, it would be fun to watch..

Rich characters!

Such a great read/ listen! I started reading the book and couldn't out it down, but life became busy so I had to wait. I was thrilled to see how quickly the audiobook came out and wow—what a perfect person to narrate this book! The characters are rich, the story compelling, and all the nuances of each woman’s life kept me wanting more. I look forward to Kristen’s next book. Brava!

Fun and an interesting premise!

My husband and I listened to this while on a road trip. Laughed out loud and enjoyed the different characters. Thanks for a great story!

Just what I needed

How could I not realize that my days were missing huge belly laughter...about death and friendship and 'shoots? What price do we put on our own lives, what will we do for our dearest friends, what sort of shenanigans can we find at Home Depot?
This book was fresh and timely, and oddly familiar in its themes. My friends have loosely spoken about these things but this book flashes out the details we couldn't speak about.
Kudos to Ms. W

Great characters!

Well written! Couldn't stop until the end. Loved the characters and cannot wait for another one by This author!

A Story of the Best of Friendship!

I met this cool indie author on instagram and aas like, sure, I’ll take a crack at your book! I had a feeling about her talent. And, well, I was right! Why is My Bra Still On gives Gilmore Girls meets Steel Magnolias meet Sex and the City all in such a great way! It is a romping, darkly funny, girl-buddy-quartet dramedy about four lifelong pals dealing with, well, a crazy weird request that none of them know what to do with. It’s fun, funny, deep and sad, relatable, fast, well written and a great read! GET IT! 👍👍👍 Also, follow the author on instagram. She does a great job with her socials!

Heart warming

If you’ve ever had an incredible bond with a group of girls, this is a must read. Simply amazing.

Boring

Boring-it was a waste of my time. Save your time and your money. Or perhaps it was my fault as I do not wear a bra to bed or any other place
