--People

--TIME

--Katie Couric Media

--Newsday

--the Star Tribune

"Devilishly astute."
--East End Beacon

"I loved every page of Save What's Left--this voice, this eye, this story, its originality and wit, its offbeat social satire, its loopy cynicism, and a whole town's good intentions gone awry. Fighting city hall has never been so delicious. Brava, Elizabeth Castellano. I can't wait for your next book."
--Elinor Lipman, author of Ms. Demeanor

"Save What's Left is an absolute delight. It's laugh out loud funny and full of heart. I loved it."

--Today.com

"Castellano's wickedly funny debut unfurls in miserable yet gleeful detail the soul-sucking nightmare of owning a house on the Long Island oceanfront. . . . Clearly, the key requirement for successful beach house ownership is a (possibly illegal) sense of humor. Bring it on!"
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Castellano turns the beach-read genre on its head in her clever debut. . . . Kathleen's character and worldview are impeccably drawn, thanks to Castellano's idiosyncratic and assured voice. This witty send-up is a winner."
--Publishers Weekly
