About this ebook
Embark on a heartwarming journey in this romantic comedy that proves it doesn't matter where you're going—it's who you have beside you on the way . . .
After Lia's old car breathes its last, the single mom must reluctantly take the bus to work . . . and face unwarranted attention from a troublesome teenager. It's all too much to take—she's been depressed since her fiancé's death and even quit her beloved women's football team. But it's Happy Car Sharers to the rescue after her friends get her set up on the app.
Mateo, meanwhile, has recently moved to town, and his long walk to the train station is a literal pain due to an ankle injury. Soon he and Lia are riding each morning with a charmingly bossy driver and a rotation of colorful fellow passengers.
It's not love at first sight. Technically it's not even first sight: they've seen each other before at the nursing home where both their fathers live and Mateo plays piano for the residents. But with each trip they get to know each other better . . . and the more they know, the more they find to like.
With both of them consumed by personal losses and pressing family responsibilities—and another man getting in the way—can romance lie on the road ahead for these commuting companions?
The Car Share is a humorous exploration of love, loss, and the unexpected detours that lead us to where we truly belong.
Praise for Lucy Mitchell
"[Mitchell's] writing is deliciously funny and has so much heart." —Sandy Barker, author of One Summer in Santorini

"It doesn't matter where you go, it's who you are with." A wonderful heartwarming story about grief, sadness, regaining confidence, friendship and romance. Both Lia and Mateo were on their own journey of grief and sadness which turned into happiness. Stella provided the humour and could be quite scary even for Lia and Mateo.
