100 Must-Read California Books - Page 2

"I'm a California girl, born and raised. So when I got the chance to list 100 MUST-READ books set in this fantastic golden state, I jumped. Some aren't set completely in California, but characters spend enough (relevant) time there that I gave them a pass. All I can recommend are must-reads"
