From the acclaimed author of Sorrow Floats, Social Blunders, and Skipped Parts , comes a wickedly funny novel about love, marriage, and life. When Loren Paul spends too much time contemplating the meaning of life, his gorgeous, headstrong wife Lana Sue drives South to meet some cowboys. While Lana Sue drinks and flirts in country bars, Loren soul searches and starves in the Wyoming mountains. Loren and Lana Sue couldn't be on more different paths, but they're both steering toward the same surprising maybe they deserve each other.

i'd say more 4.5/5 stars, but that's not an option.

This was my third Tim Sandlin book. I read Sex and Sunsets in one day after I was drunk and couldn't sleep at a friends house, and I found the book on the bookshelf.

I'd read Skipped parts the same way, at a different friends.

This book though, I found in a used book store.

I don't know when I'll encounter my next Sandlin book, but I know i'll steal it from whoever has it, and i'll read it as soon as possible.

This is a light, mindless read. I loved the writing style and the perfect ending. Sometimes you just have to read something that doesn't make you think too much.

I really enjoyed this book. A very 'stream of consciousness' type of book.

This is my fourth Sandlin book, and it did not disappoint. This story is kind of like if Woody Allen loved Wyoming instead of New York and wrote a screenplay to embody the ethos of old-school country music. The story has it's dark moments, but Tim Sandlin can make anything fun. Loved it!

In the end, Loren and Lana Sue are perfect for each other. Didn't hit me hard like Social Blunders or Lydia did.
