“Shallow Enough to Walk Through overflows with quirky characters: little sisters who toy with Bunsen burners, married friends who eye-sex strangers, boyfriends who wear plaid pajamas in public, and computer companies that morph into character clichés. A gratifying debut novel.”
~ Nicole Markotić, author of Bent at the Spine

“As delicious as chocolate hair; as bittersweet as the rain inside you; as mysterious as struck out text, Shallow Enough to Walk Through delivers sensory pleasure on every page. With an eye for what’s unfamiliar in the everyday, Marissa Reaume writes/rewrites the city of Windsor and its inmates/inhabitants into a compelling read that is both funny odd and funny ha-ha.”
~ D.M. Bryan, author of Gerbil Mother

“This was a strong debut from Marissa Reaume, perfect for readers who are looking for reads on the cusp between young adult and adult fiction, and I’m very interested to see what she comes up with in the future.”
~ Reading in Winter

“This debut novel clearly documents author Marissa Reaume's genuine talent for deftly crafted characters and nicely woven plots.”
