Reviews on Little Fish:

• “Casey Plett’s Little Fish does not have a prologue; instead, it has a chapter zero. Here is the place where this novel starts counting: four women talking in a bar, when one of them says, ‘Age is completely different for trans people. The way we talk about age is not how cis people talk about age’” – In the Globe and Mail
• “Wendy’s discovery that her Opa, a devout Mennonite, may have been trans serves as the framework for the book, but the focus throughout is on the day-to-day life of Wendy and her small circle of friends” – In the National Post

Interviews:

• “Wendy is angry, she’s an alcoholic and she can be passive when it comes to her own life. These were all things I saw reflected in the trans community around me and my own experience, these badass survivors who were also incredibly complicated. I liked exploring Wendy’s strength along with all of her clear flaws” – In the Columbia Journal
• “Yesterday, I started reading Little Fish. And already the humour, care, and depth that I saw during that weekend, I’m finding everywhere in her storytelling. If you get the opportunity, get this book and go hear her read. It’s so damn worth it” – In PRISM Magazine
