Bingo Love is a graphic novel with beautiful illustrations and great storytelling. I appreciated the historical + present day queer rep, therapy rep and the coming out later in life rep. 

This the story of two black best friends (Mari and Hazel) who love each other in the 1960s, and whose families have very strict Christian views and don’t support two women being together. So instead, they both marry the men their families make them marry, and their lives unfold separately from there - until they reconnect fifty years later.

I’d recommend it to graphic novel fans. It’s a quick read that, while more surface level than some graphic novels I’ve read, still had the elements I look for in this genre with a unique type of relationship I haven’t seen much yet in queer books I’ve picked up. 

CW: Homophobia, biphobia, divorce

I finished this last night SOBBING. This was such a beautiful sapphic love story. I will settle for nothing less than the love Mari and Elle share. I also loved that the focus was on older love, something I don’t see much in my reading! Plus positive therapy rep, YAY. 

NB: The biphobia in the content warnings is actually panphobia but there is not an option for this.
