A review by aliciaclarereads
In Limbo by Deb JJ Lee

dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

•wow this hit me HARD. Themes of struggling with loneliness & depression & having a deeply complicated with your mother just hit the center target mark for me 

•I really loved Lee’s art style, particularly the lingering focus on eyes, just absolutely gorgeous and stuck with the themes so well 

•Lee manages to paint her mother in both harsh and forgiving lights in an incredibly delicate balance. There’s a particular understanding of intergenerational trauma and the ways culture and language barriers further divide a family that was just beautifully explored 

•I think this would be an incredible pairing with Delicates by Brenna Thummler
