The characters are in high school when it would've been just as easy to age them up to uni without the ick.
Written in first person, with multiple viewpoints. Each chapter seems to have a song(?) as or alongside the title of the chapter which I don't really get.
Fast burn, predictable plot points. The step brothers all kind of blend together except for one.

Underaged characters and open door scenes gave me the ick. Story would have been just as plausible with 19 - 25 year olds. Especially in this economy, where multi-generational living is coming back.
