I think the ending could have been even a little bit more open, but that's just my taste. Beautifully written.

The twist really caught me off guard and the way dementia was portrayed in this story really pulled at the heart string though I didn't really find the ending satisfying though it was relatively a happy one, but it was a book worth reading.

Audible read. Good voice actors.

Very sweet story about the relationship between fate and the what ifs that surround it. It also does a great job of showing the complexity of developing dementia while maintaining a certain measure of respectful lightheartedness. 

My only complaint is the erratic pacing. Most of the book felt almost painfully slow while others felt rushed.

Really cute…just a little too sappy sweet cute for me. I got this book for free from my local bookstore on Independent Bookstore Day which was such a nice perk. I’m bummed it wasn’t for me.

The girl on the 88 bus was the friends we made along the way.

Oh my heart #girlonthe88bus for life!!! Seriously this was such a good and sweet read! I listened to it on audiobook and was so glad I did. The narration was spot on and I could not stop listening to this story!
The story of Frank and his search for his girl on the bus made my heart burst. Oh the tears
