I liked this one. It took a minute to get into it. It felt a little superficial. Nothing too deep or thought provoking. But a nice read.

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧's latest dazzling work of historical fiction, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭, is a riveting reimagining of the 1927 Dole Air Race from CA to Hawai'i, placing a 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 pilot in the competition -- an homage to the pioneers of transoceanic aviation. In 1987, a woman searches for her family's history & her future. It‘s must-read historical fiction! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#TopReads2024 continues with my February pick ✈️🏝️🌋 Looking back at my reads this past month, “The Uncharted Flight of Olivia West” stuck with me the most 🥰 The writing was really well done and I liked all the characters and their stories. A very close 2nd was, “The Phoenix Crown” - but I didn‘t connect with all the characters. In fact, Alice was one of the secondary characters but she stole the entire book for me, I wanted more of her😁
Themes: Women Aviators, Dual Timelines (1927 and 1987), Women Getting Sh*t Done
I loved this book! I usually can easily pick a favorite timeline in dual timeline formats, but I couldn‘t in this one. Both Olivia and Wren‘s storylines are filled with heart, bravery and a heavy dose of spirit. I‘ll be recommending this one for a long time 🥰
I loved this one!

“1927. Olivia ‘Livy‘ Jones is a young and determined pilot with a love of adventure.
She‘s been bit by the flying bug and yearns to cross oceans and see the world, pioneering the way for other women pilots.
But it soon becomes clear that only men will make the cut.“
SOUNDS FUN.

Livy West is a trailblazing female aviator in the 1920s desperate for a chance to prove herself in the Dole Derby race to Hawaii. Wren Summers is a down on her luck artist who has unexpectedly inherited a piece of land on the Big Island in the 1980s. The chronicle of Livy‘s death-defying flight pairs nicely with Wren‘s journey of discovery of her past to make for a sweet story filled with adventure, healing, and unexpected love. Hits shelves 2/6!
