I do want to touch on a few other things that I truly loved about this graphic novel. This story really is about how life is short, but no matter how short it is it will always be worth listening to your heart and trying to live the life that you want to live. But neither is truly happy, or at least they know that they could be happier, if they were willing to take a risk. That is, until they meet back up at a bingo hall, fifty years later.īut both Hazel and Mari have families and are leading lives where people depend on them. And because of the 60s being a product of its time, they are never allowed to be together. Both come from strict and religious homes, but Mari’s homelife is far less supportive. Hazel is at the bingo hall when she lays eyes on the new girl, Mari, for the very first time. This story is told in flashbacks from present day to 1963, where we see two young girls discovering their sexuality. Seriously, I’m so dang happy that I picked this up. It was sweet, and heartwarming, but so real, and so heartbreaking. Wow, I loved this second chance romance so much.
