  For me, this was interesting to hear the story of this couple and how things got there (and how things can get complicated in a relationship ).
  
  You'll either enjoy this or feel bored, no in-between methinks. I went into this without reading the summary expecting a comedy but got a different experience (in a good way).
  
  The question at the end did get a reaction out of me though.
  
  *accidentally reviewed the wrong one haha, didn't know there was more than one *

  I found this part of the trilogy really funny. Perhaps market researchers should investigate the usage of their product more thoroughly 😀

  This was a super quick read (or listen since it’s an Audible original). It was less than an hour long. It definitely was not what I was expecting! What started out as a simple question asking why the couple stopped purchasing bounty paper towels, turned into couples counseling. It was fairly funny, but also hit on some real life issues between marriages (even if that wasn’t the purpose of the book). I definitely would recommend it!

  Genre: Satire, Short Stories, Humor, Fiction, Fantasy
  
  Featuring: Interview Format, Dead People, Paper Towels, Marital Issues, Sex
  
  Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult humor and situations
  
  My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
  
  My thoughts: I was told this was the good one, but it was a little dull overall. These people were boring and the storyline was cheesy, I can't give specifics without spoilers but you don't use paper towels for tissue jobs outside of your nose, I'm not buying that for a minute, plus Kleenex is easier to store in your bedroom.
  
  Recommend to others?: Not really.

  Reflections and lessons learned:
  “Was there any particular reason that near the end of your lives you suddenly stopped buying Bounty paper towels…?”
  
  Aha - the couples version! Loving the Beetlejuice feel to these but still a bite of melancholy underneath

  A hilarious short story. Loved this premise and the way the author intertwines real issues with a comical interview about a single product. Shouldn't really count as a whole book but it should get some publicity.

  I enjoyed this book
  I am a market researcher, so I especially enjoyed understanding the special role everyday products and brands have in expressing our feelings
  The portrait of this marriage was really well crafted

  Once again, an unexpectedly interesting short story.

  Snort! As someone long married I know exactly how this argument goes...
• 
  Ida Wilcox

  This couple was just too funny and cute.
  
  Again as I said for the other book in this series. Slow down, communicate, and stop taking people, places, and things for granted.

  It's a really meaningful conversation between a posthumous couple but lacks tightness of development and becomes trite.
• 
  Niniane

  A little clichéd. A married couple who grew apart. She was a stay-at-home mom who raised 3 kids. He forgot who he is.

  Things are not just things.. but representations of one's dreams, insecurities and frustrations. A beautiful little short story to illustrate this notion.

  My favorite of this series. The interpersonal and conversational dynamics between the couple being interviewed here are especially humorous and trenchant.
