The Lost Ticket was a sweet, easy read and I found myself tearing up towards the end of the book. Sampson doesn’t shy away from the more difficult themes of the story, like Frank’s condition and what happened to the girl with the red hair, which balanced out the other plot lines.
Also: her sister Rebecca was just an all around horrible person! I couldn’t believe some of things that came out of her mouth.
I wish the book spent more time on Libby and Dylan’s budding relationship, though.

I enjoyed this book. It took me quite awhile to get through it, but I did really enjoy it. I cried many times throughout it but it was super heartwarming and ended amazingly.

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.
