Author Ela Lee: ‘We need to take blackout sex more seriously’

This week, we’re joined by author Ela Lee to discuss her hotly anticipated novel, Jaded, which tells the story of a young lawyer who wakes up the morning after a work event with no memory of how she got home.

We chat with Ela about the confronting aftermath of “blackout sex”, the grey area of consent, and why we need to debunk the ‘nice guy’ myth to tackle rape culture.

Catch Love Lives on Independent TV and YouTube, as well as all major social and podcast platforms.
