In Limbo by Deb JJ Lee
4.0
4.5 // Thank you very much First Second Books for sending over an arc!
Initial Parting Thoughts - OWW
This graphic novel was frankly unassuming in its cover and description in just how impactful it could measure up to be but wow did it show up.
Several subjects are covered in under 300 pages - micro agressions, first generation experiences, depression, strained familial bonds, identity - and yet I never once felt that in packing them all in any one of these aspects was rushed. In fact, I felt that the inclusion of such a wide variety of struggles brought about a proper sense of realism and humanity to the narrative.
Lastly, the STUNNING art cannot go unmentioned. This was a joy to ogle my eyes at for an hour straight.
To quickly sum - read it :)
