Heartwarming story perfect for middle of the night bottle feeds, but not as beautiful as her first novel, The Last Chance Library. Still recommend it for anyone looking for an easy but enchanting read about love, loss and life.

Easily 4 1/2 stars. It was impossible not to get pulled into Frank's quest to find the girl that got away 60 years ago. Since Frank's dementia is progressing, his carer, Dylan, is along for the search. Soft-hearted Libby gets involved and learns the importance of taking chances and standing up for herself against some difficult secondary characters. With the vivid descriptions, landmarks, street names, and bus stops, I feel as if I've been in London riding this bus route with 3 of the most loveable characters ever written and I'm going to miss it.
