The Family Remains (The Family Upstairs, #2)

cmz95 finished reading and wrote a review...
DNF.
I don't personally connect with stories about teenagers as a 30 year old, and there was nothing in the blurb that would lead me to think this was about teenagers, so you can imagine my dismay when I realized the book is about teenagers.
Every. Single. Character. is incredibly unlikeable. Boring, whiny, and childish - to the point where I would believe you if you told me the book was about 6th graders, not high schoolers. And I don't think this is a case of me not connecting with them because of the age, even 16 year old me would have hated these characters.
The writing style is also bland and immature, so it's not even enjoyable to read. There's such a lack of information about everything, I would rather the author just list details bullet-point style instead of whatever is happening here
The entire premise is unbelievable. You really expect me to accept that one of the girls goes to a high school with multiple high-level famous influencer students, and that she herself is a medium-level influencer, and that these two high school girls are just randomly allowed to swap homes with a stranger from the Internet over the holidays??
