Limbo by Laura Koerber – Review by Sofia Ribeiro

Limbo by Laura Koerber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

What can I really say about this book without giving it all away, it takes place in the limbo, the same place where Catholics are used to think souls go when we pass, so does this mean everyone in here is too good for hell or too bad to go to heaven?

Limbo, by its description, reminded me of a wild west city, but without its life, you have the buildings, but its empty, there’s nothing to do, nothing to help pass the time, a bar that don’t have drinks, a card game made from the wallpaper…

You have animals there, dogs, cats, mouses, cows, but the people there don’t see these animals growing, eating or anything, so are they being punished as well?

This book, reminded me very much of the show the good place, most people in the limbo are old, but there are exceptions and to make things worse you won’t find anyone you loved in your past life… you may find people you hated but why are people sent there? How can they move on? Why can you find children there?

Alyse, one of our main voices is only a teen that died of cancer… other people on the book we get to know their backstory and some of those stories only make us wonder, why are they there?

Probably If you liked the good place you will like this book, you get to know almost all people background and how they got there, but at the same time there’s many things left to learn about them.
