This is not really a review per se.  It's a nit pick, and I don't necessarily expect anyone else to find it helpful or be bothered by this.  Stef says he "fell back on [his] minor" and is teaching history at the local community college.  Never mind that community college jobs are actually pretty competitive these days, and that the hiring process for a full time job takes about a year.  You need a Master's degree to teach history at a community college in Texas.  And if that's maybe not the kind of thing you know if you're not an academic or even specifically a community college instructor, it's the kind of thing that takes about five minutes on Google to find out.  And maybe only one in a hundred readers will notice it, but trust me: they'll be really, really annoyed.  Because what you've basically done is something like having a character "fall back" on their minor in criminal justice and start practicing law.
