IT'S 2016 AND NOTHING FEELS RIGHT ANYMORE IN FLORIDA.
It's not like that's anything new for Seth. As the only son of a small-town prostitute, he's never had an ounce of consistency throughout his whole life. But when his first job at the last Kmart in the world is in jeopardy, his ex-junkie roommate-turned-father-figure has a string of increasingly concerning breakdowns, his Mormon boss asks him to keep God's peace at the store, and a mysterious motorcycle-riding girl begins stalking him, Seth realizes that truly nothing in his life will ever be normal. Everything's been different in Okeechobee since the Wawa opened, and it seems the whole country is different too. Is there a place in it for a 19-year-old high school graduate?

Our Own Sunsets is author Genny R.'s first foray into dark comedy, a deeply political exploration of what life in the underbelly of backwater Florida was like a decade ago, and a love letter to the state that they grew up in. With prose as lush as its swamps and dialogue as filthy as its streets, Our Own Sunsets is a microcosm of America's laughing stock in its own right.
