The Reviews Are In!

  • The narrative is bolstered by an eclectic assembly of secondary characters, and Eddie is an energetic, edgy protagonist. Breezy, conversational, and often biting prose propels the action in an unconventional storyline that manages to be simultaneously absurd and tender, all the while offering a lesson in the power of self-affirmation.” — Kirkus Reviews
  • Castoro’s structure…is unusual, but so is this memorable protagonist. Offbeat, ill-fated, but with a heart of gold for her loved ones, Eddie—and her story—will stick with readers long after the last page.” Booklife
  • “Loved it! A humorous and suspenseful tale that explores the pressures of motherhood and suburban life. A quirky, engaging read.” Reedsy Discovery

Dear Reader: 
Thank you for your interest in Eddie Hest vs. Suburbia. This is my debut novel and I appreciate you giving my work a chance. Indie authors face many challenges in promotion their books without the support of a major publisher. When you read, then review my novel, you’re helping tremendous help to get the word out about Eddie. I truly value and cherish you!

All the best! Catherine Castoro
