Publisher's Summary

In this at-once hilarious and heartbreaking series, In-Depth Market Research Interviews with Dead People, Alison Espach explores our collective idiosyncrasies, neuroses, and desires through the consumer choices, big and small, that we face every day.

Caroline’s mattress had nothing to do with her untimely death at the age of 28—this, she wants Tempur-Pedic’s market research representative to know. But as she reflects on her first ever mattress purchase and their interview progresses, Caroline dives into the circumstances and decisions that led her and Nicholas—her boyfriend, 10 years her senior and prone to sleeping on the floor—to that particular bed in that particular shopping plaza. Ultimately, Caroline has the opportunity to reckon with the struggles she faced near the end of her life, and the story of a complex, bold young woman emerges.

weirdly delightful

a worthwhile listen, well written original short story. I listened to it twice just because it was refreshingly different.

Odd little story

An odd little story, that I couldn't really get into.... however now that I've finished it, I can't stop thinking about it. Which I guess considers it a win

extremely funny

comical yet truly meaningful and deep. Relationships between a older man and a younger woman, truly telling of progression of finding yourself as a young person, incompatibility, family and societal pressures. Will make you laugh and think, worth the listen....
