Bingo Love by Tee Franklin
4.0
emotional hopeful reflective fast-paced

This was super cute, super sad, then super wholesome again! Hazel and Mari meet in the 1960s at bingo with their grandmothers and the connection is instant. But, as they put it, the world wasn’t ready for their kind of love, and they both end up marrying men. Their love for one another doesn’t fade though, until one day they spot each other across the bingo hall again.

I was reading a few reviews and they mentioned that the writing was quite superficial. I realised I did agree, but that also I didn’t really care that much! With a graphic novel it’s all in the art for me - and the illustrations are absolutely stunning! The emotion comes across beautifully, the colours are so vibrant, I just loved the style. 

If you’ve got an hour and want to swoon at some gorgeous, enduring queer love, definitely check out Bingo Love.
