"The house was a piece of shit. Even through the pouring rain, Jeremy could see that the tall and salty house would never be his home. It wouldn’t matter if he lived there for the usual three years and moved on like they always did. It wouldn’t matter if this was just one of those “permanent hotels”, like the house in Newark, which he’d only be stuck in for a year or so. It wouldn’t even matter if he lived here till it was time to leave his parents. He knew it would never be his home; not now, not ever."

Just want your opinions on how it sounds, if you would read further, etc. Described the house as salty because it's in a coastal town in Massachussets.
 
I liked it. Had good flow, good and clear meaning, and good characterization. I could totally see Jeremy as a real person. I would read it. :)
