The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson

After her boyfriend breaks up with her, Libby moves to London. On bus route 88, she meets pensioner Frank, who tells Libby that he's been routinely riding that route since 1962, hoping to meet again a woman who changed his life. They were probably going to have a date, but Frank lost her phone number, which was the only way he could contact her. Libby decides to help Frank find the woman, putting up flyers with the help of Frank's carer--mohawk-clad Dylan. Will Libby and Dylan be able to find her before Frank is moved into a retirement home due to his memory issues? And what about the burgeoning relationship between Libby and Dylan who discover they have feelings for each other? The Lost Ticket is a delightful second novel by Freya Sampson. For readers of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.
