I was intrigued until about the 35% mark. The story just started to take a crazy turn that felt too out of place. The timeline was also messy. As it switched POVs, each one would backtrack to something already covered by the previous POV, but then it wouldn’t line up. 

There was also a lot of self deprecation, “I’m such a loser”, “I have baggage, you should leave me”, “why do you want me”, etc. In most books, it more of an internal struggle, but it was said out loud my both MCs CONSTANTLY. It got irritating to read. 

Also, the plot line about his sister was so strange. Everything that transpired over the course of the story just didn’t fit right.
