- SEX WITH A BRAIN INJURY is one of those books that puts a new lens over your view of life. I didn’t know much about concussions and TBI before this book, and now I can’t stop thinking about how many people live with these conditions and how society is failing them.
- Liontas uses a variety of writing styles in this book, including a stream of consciousness like style that puts the reader right into what her mind feels like while recovering from a concussion.
- The section that stuck out most to me was the discussion of the cycle of brain injury and incarceration. It feels ridiculous to say I’d never thought about it before, but I hadn’t, even though it seems obvious in retrospect.
- Liontas writes about not only what it is like to have this chronic pain and illness, but to be a queer woman with this condition, and a queer woman with a legacy of trauma from her mother’s addiction.
