Where did Marina live before moving to Milwaukee in the novel, All This Could Be Different?

Although Los Angeles is never visited in the novel, it is where Marina lived before coming to Milwaukee, and her friends from L.A. have a strong impact on the novel's progression. Marina herself was born and raised in New Jersey, but many of her communities in her dance career are centered in the white elite of Los Angeles, two of whom come to visit her in Milwaukee and disdain her both for living in a Midwestern city and for continuing to date Sneha, who does not fit their idea of what Marina should want for herself.
