Bingo Love is a story of a same-sex romance that spans over 60 years. A chance meeting at church bingo in 1963 brings Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray together. Through their formative years, these two women develop feelings for each other and finally profess their love for one another.
Forced apart by their families and society, Hazel and Mari both married young men and had families. Decades later, now in their mid 60’s, Hazel and Mari are reunited again at a bingo hall. Realizing their love for each other is still alive, what these grandmothers do next takes absolute strength and courage.
I loved this. I thought this was such a cute read. Especially for one of the first graphic novels that I read. The story was realist without being overdone. I just love a good "not right now" romance. Something so heartfelt about people who fall in love young only to have other things and society tear them apart just to find each other decades later once those obligations are fulfilled and societal changes have occured. I was smiling once they found each other again. I love how they just fell back into it. The ending was just as beautiful.
Hope you enjoy it too!
As always Happy Reading!!
