In Limbo is a debut YA graphic memoir from Korean-American illustrator Deb JJ Lee. When Lee was 3 years old, their family emigrated to America from Seoul, South Korea; but this story mainly focuses on Lee’s 4 years in a New Jersey high school. In Limbo is a story about living in the spaces in-between: the stretch between two cultures, the gap between a child and parent, the lagging between childhood and adulthood, the time between crisis and recovery. All these feelings are set around some stunning illustrations. It’s perfect for any teenager or young adult who feels they’re floating in-between, too.
