RaveRefinery 29One of this summer's freshest novels, Fly Me by Daniel Riley, offers a powerful glimpse into this 'California Girl' archetype ... Fly Me proves that the true 'California Girl' embraces the sadness and chaos of experience, grabbing her narrative back from all those who've tried to write her story ... Suzy Whitman, like Cher and Elle before her, is a classic 'California Girl.' She explores, she subverts, and, despite her tireless chorus of critics, she always finds a way back to herself.
