Would Golden State work for being set in California?

Since several of the reviews call it "a future version of California," I'll accept it.

Thank you.

Can I please have Larkspur by Sheila Simonson approved for CA setting. The paperback version I read does not have metadata, but other editions do, including Larkspur.
The whole book is set in California:
-- about 20% in San Francisco, mentioned in 1st line of last paragraph of MPG description in Larkspur edition
-- about 50% in fictional town of Monte, CA, mentioned first on page 8 of my paperback edition: This is the location of the bookstore owned by the main character, who also lives above the bookstore. Also documented in the publishers review on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Larkspur-Lark-...
-- the rest of the book is set in "northern California", unspecified remote location, at a resort on a lake. The northern California location is mentioned in the book blurb of the back outside cover of my paperback edition.

Thank you :)

I haven't read the book so I can't verify this. You'll need to provide the necessary information when you post.
