Olivia "Livy" West is a fearless young pilot with a love of adventure. She yearns to cross oceans and travel the skies. When she learns of the Dole Air Racea high-stakes contest to be the first to make the 2,400 mile Pacific crossing from the West Coast to Hawai'ishe sets her sights on qualifying. But it soon becomes clear that only men will make the cut. In a last-ditch effort to take part, Livy manages to be picked as a navigator for one of the pilots, before setting out on a harrowing journey that some will not survive. 1987. Wren Summers is down to her last dime when she learns she has inherited a remote piece of land on the Big Island with nothing on it but a dilapidated barn and an overgrown mac nut grove.

#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 🥰

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!
