Bingo Love is a story narrated by Hazel Johnson, who is retelling her story to a woman she knows. The woman was just kicked out of her parents' home after they discovered her attraction to other women, and she asks if she can stay with Hazel, who says yes, and tells her the story about how she went through a similar thing in her youth.
I don't have too much to comment on about this story. It's an easy read that tugs on the heartstrings, which is what I like in a book. I felt a lot of love for the characters and their plight to acceptance of not only the people around them, but themselves.
The only thing I didn't like (which is very minor) is how James, Hazel's husband,reacted negatively to his wife's coming out. It is implied that he went through a similar situation during his time in the army, where he says he fell in love with someone he met there. So, chances are, he could just be experiencing self-hatred and negatively took it out on Hazel. But, that doesn't make what he said okay.
All in all, if you're looking for something easy to read, this is the book for you.
