Stories about the events of World War II have always interested me, and this story about pioneering women who flew military planes was a side I hadn’t heard about. The Flight Girls follows Audrey as she navigates the USA’s involvement in the war, love, and repeated loss. It was the perfect way to spend July 4th weekend celebrating our freedoms many men and women have sacrificed for. I definitely recommend this read!

From the very first page, I was hooked by the story. For historical fiction, I found it to be a lighter read because there was romance mixed in. Historical detail, accuracy and research were also missing from this story. It was definitely quite fictionalized and though I prefer HF that is full of detail and learning, I still enjoyed this story for what it was.
The progression of the story was engaging and I found myself enjoying it the further I got into it. I enjoyed Audrey's independence and love of flight. I loved her determination to do her part in the war efforts, but also not giving up on her dreams. The friends she makes along the way were lovely to get to know and I was sad when they parted ways. Though I found parts of it lacking, I still enjoyed the read and wanted to keep reading. It puts the spotlight on the WASP and that I do appreciate.
I believe many HF readers will enjoy this book. It is an enjoyable lighter read.
