Love is complicated. Especially when it refuses to follow the rules.

When her boyfriend of ten years confesses he's attracted to men, Sidney does what any devoted girlfriend would do. She takes him to a gay bar.

For Sidney, growing up between cultures has meant getting comfortable with contradictions. Her love life turns out to require the same skill. Set against L.A.'s indie music and art scene, SEXyLA follows Sidney and her eclectic friends: Victoria, a woman obsessed with sex who falls for an asexual man; Nikhil, a cynical romantic resorts to an Indian matchmaker he ends up sleeping with; and Himasa, who discovers that the person you're supposed to want isn't necessarily the person you do.

 

Inspired by the real-life bicultural relationships and column SEXyLA, by Ayn Carrillo-Gailey.

Set in an LA we haven’t seen before.  

Characters facing relationships in ways we haven’t seen before.

 

Sexy, irreverent, and unexpectedly tender, Sex Y LA is about love in all the forms nobody prepared us for.

 

Sexy. Smart. Romantic.

“Carrillo-Gailey tells her stories with hilarious, self-deprecating wit and extreme honesty...”
