Her work was very influential among many other authors, and she is credited with making her readers more comfortable talking about sex, something she spoke about in an interview with the Yorkshire Post. “My books get young girls talking,” says Rennison. “And they talk about what they like and don’t like, what they want to do and don’t want to do. It’s not left up to other people, particularly men, to decide. “What’s frightening is that a lot of the pornography online could make young guys believe that they are always in control, that they should be. And that’s dangerous and frightening. She will be missed.It is with huge sadness that we can confirm the death of our much loved author and friend, Louise Rennison.
