"There’s a time and a place for unabashed sentimentality, and both are right in this sugar-sweet second-chance tale. In 1963, teenagers Mari and Hazel fall in love after encountering one another at a church bingo hall, but they’re separated by their families. After decades of marriage and motherhood, they run across one another again – in, of all places, another bingo hall. Who knew calling numbers and marking cards could be so romantic? Bold, bright illustrations by Jenn St-Onge and Joy San capture changing fashions and allow the star-crossed lovers to age beautifully."
