Bingo Love (Graphic Novel) [B0979]

2018 PB in nice clean condition, 89-full color pages. A graphic romance novel for ages YA and up! When Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray met at church bingo in 1963, it was love at first sight. Forced apart by their families and society, Hazel and Mari both married young men and had families. Decades later, now in their mid-'60s, Hazel and Mari reunite again at a church bingo hall. Realizing their love for each other is still alive, what these grandmothers do next takes absolute strength and courage.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I absolutely loved the queer representation and the characters of this book, Elle and Mari are so cute! Even though I'm not a huge fan of love at first sight and instant-love, I did enjoy their chemistry and the ending crusheddddd meeeee."; "adorable! I love these ladies."; "Bingo Love" had me so emotional. This graphic novel beautifully captures both the characters and their story in a way that feels incredibly authentic. The plot is heartwarming and heartbreaking all at once. I didn't see the twist coming at all. I was literally sitting there, mouth open, for a full five minutes. Still, at its core, this is a truly beautiful story about love, identity, and second chances. I think everyone should read it."; "this was super cheesy (tho cute) but the artwork was what really got me, it's so beautiful"; "It was beautiful, tender, a bit cheesy, and far too short to fully develop the story before jumping straight into a happy ending and eternity in the afterlife. Still, it served as a powerful reminder that accepting ourselves and living our truth is essential to a full, authentic life. For many in the LGBTQ+ community, especially in past generations, the chance to experience teen love was stolen. Many of us never had it either. I hope that today's youth, and those to come, never have to miss out on that experience."
