"The ATL Girlz is a nice combination of realistic and inspirational fiction."

"Fans of the ATL Girlz series will absolutely love this third installment and find it a very satisfying sequel to Ms. Thang and Urban Goddess."

"Thank you so much for your wonderful books. The African American teens really are impressed with them.

"Ms. Hayes. Earlier this year you visited us at ACCE High School and I am still so thankful. My kids have been tearing through your books. When I told one girl that your new book just came out she jumped up and down. Thank you for what you do - it makes my job as an educator much easier when there are quality books for them to enjoy. Thank you,
Elise DeLamatre 9th Grade English Teacher ACCE High School"

"Hi Ms. Hayes, I just wanted to thank you once again for coming out to ACCE last week and it was a pleasure meeting you. I heard nothing but great things and our students enjoyed meeting a published author. I finely got a chance to sit and finish reading Ms. Thang. It reminded me of some of my previous students who have dealt with some of the same issues as Shaniqua, Brittany, and Natasha. As an educator, over the past 8 years I have not only had to be a teacher but a counselor, parent, and so on. I truly appreciate what you do for youth. Reading is such a powerful tool that will help our students be successful. I am looking forward to reading Urban Goddess and Eye Candy. God Bless,
Marie A. Taylor"

"I was impressed with your ability to cover subject matter relevant to our students in a well constructed manner. There is a genre of "urban" books which my students like that I will not purchase as they are badly edited, and the subject matter is inappropriate and very negative. Your books fill a gap quite nicely in a very positive manner.

"This is a compelling read. The language and the girls’ experiences are true to life; both boys and girls will relate to the depiction of the three friends, their relationships and experiences. It is definitely a worthy sequel to Ms. Thang.
