Such a short book packed with so many feelings! Post-morten interview through a consumerism lense but make it funny and emotional and thought provoking

I love this series! The conceit of using post-mortem market research interviews was well-conceived. The way the author gets to the internal conflicts of the characters through this is heartfelt and affecting.

Weird little story

This 1-hour audiobook transported me through the story of a young woman who had an affair with her professor. He seems to be having a mid-life crisis. When they both progress to the day-to-day living together, they both feel ashamed.

A lot of good details and great voice acting.

Espach is a Wizard of Intimate Pain & Emotion!

I'm gutted to have finished this trilogy of short stories because I have lobed them and the phenomenal performances so very much. Espach truly is a maestro of heartbreak and reflection with the posthumous product interview being such a glorious amusing and disarming framing device.

All three stories have truly been perfection in short stories/ audio dramas and performances. I'm in awe.
