⭐⭐⭐

This book follows a former model turned freelance writer who embarks on assignment covering the oil boom in North Dakota, nearby to where she grew up. What follows is commentary on capitalism, male gaze, race/passing, and the impacts of sudden economic booms on communities and the resulting tensions.
