Review of Lila Says (2005) by Harry T — 25 Aug 2008
Chimo doesn't understand but doesn't judge Lila for doing what she thinks will entice him - result of her rather twisted mind, trying to take back the sexuality she never had from her aunt. Her sexual fantasies are like a breath of fresh air in a society where the act is less taboo than the thought.
Chimo's jealous friend who's only interested in getting into Lila's pants is quick to resort to name calling because she can see right through him and rejects him. The prejudices that are easy to have because of her "hypersexualisation" will be broken, sadly not in the way it should have been.
I think it's an important reflexion on the repression of sexuality at a young age that may make teenagers more vulnerable to pornography, prostitution etc.
