The Lost Ticket

One of Amazon’s Best Books of September!

Strangers on a London bus unite to help an elderly man find his missed love connection in the heartwarming new novel from the acclaimed author of The Last Chance Library.

When Libby Nicholls arrives in London, brokenhearted and with her life in tatters, the first person she meets on the bus is elderly Frank. He tells her about the time in 1962 that he met a girl on the number 88 bus with beautiful red hair just like hers. They made plans for a date at the National Gallery art museum, but Frank lost the bus ticket with her number on it. For the past sixty years, he’s ridden the same bus trying to find her, but with no luck.

Libby is inspired to action and, with the help of an unlikely companion, she papers the bus route with posters advertising their search. Libby begins to open her guarded heart to new friendships and a budding romance, as her tightly controlled world expands. But with Frank’s dementia progressing quickly, their chance of finding the girl on the 88 bus is slipping away.

More than anything, Libby wants Frank to see his lost love one more time. But their quest also shows Libby just how important it is to embrace her own chances for happiness—before it’s too late—in a beautifully uplifting novel about how a shared common experience among strangers can transform lives in the most marvelous ways.

A New Favorite

This audiobook is just... wow. First of all, the narration is absolutely incredible. The range of accents with the primary narrator, as well as the second narrator for Peggy, just add so much flavor to the listening of this amazing story. And the story. Just wow. There was so much here that I related to on so many levels, and I absolutely fell in love with all of the characters. A bittersweet ending made sweeter by the journey.

heart felt

Truly enjoyed the story and each characters . The writing was incredible and precise....great job

Warms your heart

Would make a lovely movie 💕
I am crossing my fingers it’s discovered and produced. I would love to see the characters live this book

Very Enjoyable!

I enjoyed meeting all these contrary characters and seeing how different people can come together for a common goal. Plus it’s heartwarming to see how one person can touch so many lives. The ending is sweet but yet a taste of sour as life goes on. The narration in here is top notch and very enjoyable to listen to.

LOVED it!

Interesting, easy read with great character development & a wonderful storyline. I can't wait to read more by this author!

Best hug in book form

Book that brims with hope, heart and humanity.
You’ll fall in love with each character.

Heartwarming read about hope and friendship

I loved how the story reminds you that no matter plans you have, that what is meant for you will eventually come to you.
When things don’t work it could just be the best thing that never happened to you.

Loved, loved, loved!

I listened to this whole book in less than 48 hours. I could not stop. I loved the whole premise of the story with them trying to find Frank’s lost love and the mysterious Peggy. It kept me guessing. I also loved how Libby was able to transform herself as well and the relationship between her and Dylan. Such great characters and wonderful narration from both narrators!

So sweet.

Great story and characters. l
Laughed out loud and cried. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a good romance.

Great story

I really enjoyed this book. Total “feel good/happy ending” type story. I’d definitely recommend it.
