Sea State by Tabitha Lasley

This was a unique hybrid book, part romantic memoir and part oil rig worker documentary, and altho the writing is sometimes a little clumsy, the two parts don’t always cohere fully, and the romantic parts are fairly sentimental and maudlin - despite all that - I still found it a fun quick and interesting read, and I applaud the effort.
