Descripción: 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.Amazon.com ReviewAn Amazon Best Book of Month 2022: This delightful ode to second chances, found family, finding your path, and the power of loving encouragement, feels like a hug in book form. Frank is an elderly man who’s ridden the number 88 bus every day for forty years, trying to find the beautiful red-haired art student who encouraged him to follow his passion rather than take over the family business. He never got to thank her—her contact info was on the titular lost ticket—but a chance meeting on the 88 bus with another young woman puts a little hope in his heart. For Libby, joining Frank, his prickly carer Dylan, and Dylan’s special needs friend, Amanda, in their quest to find his lost love is the perfect distraction from her own heartbreak. If you like tearjerkers that make you laugh, friendship stories that break your heart, romance reads that make you tear up, and books you can’t wait to share with friends, don’t miss this sweet gem of a novel. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon EditorReview“It’s as sweet as it sounds--a literary cup of cocoa. Sampson reminds us that there’s value in the “failures” in life--missed connections, broken relationships, unattained college degrees. They may, inadvertently, set us on the right path. Same for small daily interactions like a conversation on public transport…if you’re looking for a little hope, or a reminder of how chance encounters can change life for the better, this is the ticket.”—USA Today“A heartfelt story about chance, loss, and aging, populated by messy characters you will root for in this delightful ride.”—The Montecito Journal“Freya Sampson’s writing is like a feel-good magical potion made of everything that’s beautiful in life: a hug, a cup of tea, a warm blanket, a puppy. The Lost Ticket is the perfect sophomore novel: the descriptions of London are whimsical and immersive; the characters are relatable and lovable; the story is uplifting and romantic, full of emotions and heart, celebrating the importance of making human connections and embracing our dreams. This book is my happy place! Whatever Freya writes next, I’m on board.”—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis"It's hard to think of another book quite as delightful as this one. The Lost Ticket is basically the best hug in the world in book form. It's a story about love and second chances and the best kind of unlikely friendships. Pick up this book if you're yearning for some joy in your life!" —Jesse Q. Sutanto, National bestselling author of Four Aunties and a Wedding"The Lost Ticket is one of the lo
