    This is a light novel that follows 2 stories, one of an elderly man, Frank, both in the past and present, and one of Libby, a young woman whose life turns upside down as she makes a fresh start in London without a job, coming out of a long-term relationship and without a home. Frank, a loyal passenger of bus 88 since the 60s, is searching for his beloved artist whom he met years ago on the same bus and lost her contact details which were written on a ticket. He meets Libby today, who resembles her, and they start a conversation. Libby is deeply moved by his story and agrees to help him search for her in the present! A very sweet read that takes you through all emotions and focuses on love and life with all its difficulties and passions. I loved the storytelling so much, for me it was an excellent way of narrating the story, something original and different from what I have read. Also, Libby's love story filled my heart and I adored their characters! I highly recommend it with closed eyes as it is a sweet book about a lost love and a love that blossoms against the norms and "boxes" of society!
