Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton

challenging emotional reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

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.
