beautiful BEAUTIFUL story. its poignant with its arresting vistas juxtaposed against the mundane horror of being a woman in the places that beaton worked. its stark. it doesn't pull its punches from the assault to the boredom to the anxiety that pervades the comic. its gorgeous and a story that's important to tell- i just wish it didn't happen.

Masterful storytelling, complex, rich and layered, unflinching yet nuanced. I found this book deeply immersive, it’s one of those stories that will stay with me for a fair while I think.

For some reason I didn't expect this book to be so dark! The author is one of the few women who work in an oil camp, and she experiences a lot of sexism and harassment because of that. She didn't really have anyone to lean on while she was going through that. It was a tough read at times so definitely check trigger warnings. She also touched on subjects like the jobs people will do to pay for their student loans and the damage that oil rigs do to nature and to the people working on them.

There are scenes that allude to her being raped and then there is a scene of her starting to be assaulted before she dissociates.
