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.

Hilarious

The ladies address seriously funny and smart in their own way. I wish there were more episodes of this and this were a series. Loved it.

Unexpectedly Wonderful

The under lying message is beautiful, something everyone needs to hear. The fun idea of presenting this as a mattress research survey - brilliant

Totally loved it!

Short and hilarious but also too deep in a really good way! And the performance is so great that I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Surprisingly Great

I didn't expect to finish it in one sitting, but I was just so captivated by the narration. The story kept me hooked and the message it was iterating was well received.

one of the best short stories out there!

was an intriguing listen through and through. interesting perspective of narration, a kind of dry humour underlying a deep analysis of death and depression.One of the most beautiful things about this is that the listener is participating in the construction of the story too.
