“Through the story’s progression, readers witness a sort
of social and personal growth of Ahana, who transforms
from a protected woman to one who suffers through the
harsh realities of life. This book will be a welcome
addition to modern-day discussions of women’s rights,
multiculturalism, and online technologies.”
— New York Journal of Books
“Louisiana Catch is perfectly relevant and lovingly
bottom lines the urgency to become involved in the
feminist agenda. All the while being a deliciously
romantic and hopeful story. Sweta proves, yet again, her
ability to illustrate all the nuanced layers of a women’s
experience and honor her power to create change in the
world.”
— PALLAVI SASTRY, Actress (Blue Bloods)
“Louisiana Catch is a thoughtful contribution to the exam-
ination of societal issues, one as old as time, domestic
violence, and one quite recent, online deception.”
— LEILA TAYLOR, Buried By Books
“Raw, real, and profoundly moving, this is a very fine novel that begs for continuation in the
form of a series. Sweta’s honors are well earned.”
— GRADY HARP, San Francisco Review of Books
“Louisiana Catch is an emotionally immersive novel by Sweta Srivastava Vikram about
identity, shame, and who we project ourselves to be in the world. An extraordinary and
entertaining read from cover to cover, Louisiana Catch is unreservedly recommended.”
– James A. Cox, Midwest Review
