Strangers on a London bus join forces to help an elderly man with dementia reconnect with his lost love from 1962. Libby, brokenhearted and adrift in London, is inspired by Frank's story and launches a search for the woman with red hair he met on the number 88 bus decades ago, discovering unexpected connections and finding hope for herself along the way.
A bit flat compared to others in the 'cozy-senior-found family' genre (Clare Pooley, Jesse Sutanto)- as some of the characters and relationships are fairly shallow and stereotypical, but it's still a sweet, fuzzy, quick read.
