Sex with a Brain Injury by Annie Liontas
informative

4.5
A perfect balance of personal and informative, I’m taking so much away from this book. I’m not a person who has had a head injury, but I’m a person who deals with migraine and pain, so the way Liontas describes living with a head injury felt so embodied and true. There’s was enough research here to feel as though I learned something (like how people who have been incarcerated are more likely to have had head injuries, or that research into head injuries basically never includes cis women, and much more). But the parts I liked best were her own reflections on her injuries, how her path to healing has been anything but linear, how living while disabled requires community and love and new perspectives. Highly recommend this, I read it via audiobook but I will likely buy a copy just to have it!
