This book is stunning. I was so deeply moved reading it, I don’t think I’ve ever been this emotional from a graphic novel before. The illustrations are so detailed, expressive, and alive. All the references to Korean culture had me feeling nostalgic but also triggered, and the anti-Asian racism that young Deborah (Jung-Jin) went through tore my heart apart. I could feel the pain and fear and shame in my bones.

IN LIMBO addresses dark themes such as depression, violence, bullying, trauma, and attempted suicide. But it’s also about the all-too-familiar themes of coming of age, friendship, and the insecurities of a teenager. I’ve been really appreciative lately of books that address mental health in the Asian-American community, I think it’s extremely important that there is more representation and exposure.

This is such a moving memoir about family, mental health, and evolving friendships. The illustrations and color palette are also beautiful, with a combination of comic and realistic art.
