The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson
4.0

When Libby moves to London, the first person she meets is Frank, an elderly man riding the 88 bus. He tells her about a woman he met 60 years ago on the 88 bus, and despite connecting with her, he never saw her again because he lost the bus ticket with her number on it. He’s been riding the 88 bus for 60 years hoping to see that woman again. After hearing this story, Libby is determined to help Frank find his mystery woman.

This book ripped my heart out and put it back together again. This was one of the most unexpectedly beautiful stories I’ve read in a long time. Each of the characters was quirky and delightful. I loved how this group of strangers came together to try to find Frank’s mystery woman, and in the process helped each other heal and became their own little family. If you are looking for a book that will warm your heart and put a smile of your face, look no further.
