The method of two page chapters alternating between a present timeline and a random moment between the main character and his father in the past just did not work for me.

Also, it turns out I’m not into reading books about broody men with daddy issues.

Also, also, math-wise I think the main character is 18?!?! If even?!?! But I kept picturing a twenty to thirty something, so maybe something else was also lost in translation via the author.
