Bingo Love: 11/21/22
Bingo Love by Tee Franklin (2018) is a comic about rediscovering a forbidden love after a long life of doing what everyone else expected of you. The book opens with a grand-daughter coming to her grandmother when coming out to her parents didn't go so well. The grandmother then tells her of her own experience. The comic goes from a near future back to 1963. Hazel meets Mari, a transfer student from somewhere in California. It's love at first site for Hazel. Soon she and Mari are a secret item, knowing full well that their highly religious families won't approve. Basically they both end up forced to marry men and have children. The back half of the comic is about a chance reunion and what they decide to do then with the rest of their lives. It's bittersweet and left me wishing that they could have had more time together.
