I enjoyed this, but there were some tropes here I did not like unexpected pregnancy.
I loved Frank, and the friends he met on the bus. But I expected more to come out of the woodwork as they searched for his lost girl.
Something about the other characters just felt flat or off to me, but I can’t put my finger on what it was.
I did enjoy the book, but don’t think I will go out of my way to recommend it to anyone.

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.
