I don't think use of the word nigga is excessive because this is real life and real experiences that we all can relate to. Its not as if the word is something we've never heard before and I personally hope you continue to tell it like it is because as a young black woman and an avid reader, I am often disappointed by novels that are watered down and being descriptive is an important part for your readers so I am not offended, I understand and agree with the content 100%. Keep up the great work, I love this series and can identify with Jacy and her trials and triumphs every time!

I Think Your Books Give Readers A Journey Through The Life Of A Young Woman. I Think That In Order To Reach The People You Want, You Have To Be ABle To Relate To Them. Many Young Women I Know Jacy's Age Are In THe Same Situations As Jacy If Not Worse. So For Me I Think The Cursing, Sex Scenes, & The "N-Word' Are NOt Being Used Excessively. I Love Your Books.

How are you going to have a book about thugs if you don't use the language they use? Everybody is going to be a critic and have something to say but the fans who truly love you and your writing will continue to purchase you books, therefore I say keep on doing what you do.

Like Kiki stated it adds authenticity to the story and to me it makes the book more interesting. You are not going to be able to please every one all of the time, you are always going to have critics, but those who truly love you and your work will continue to read your books with out complaint. Therefore, keep on keeping on and do you. I myself have no problem with the sex and the language you use in your books.

IN MY OPINION it adds to the authenticity of the story, as said by a previous poster. I for one can't wait to see how the story progresses in the third novel. Keep up the good work!
