I think most readers think that way. As for me, I usually don't read stories with characters like the uncle as the main characters, because I am not into the uncle + beard type. Due to this, even though I loved the story a lot in the beginning, I get bored of it right now and only skip the chapters until it'll be interesting again.
Honestly i'm fine with side storys, but for this one the friend with glasses and the music-lover boy- story would have been enough ... 3 couples, that aren't together yet, to have all their storys told at once is confusing and taxing ... it might seem heartless from my side, but i'm not really interested in that uncles story
Just my opinion ... you're welcome to disagree ...
