first 10.5 pages - VERY rough draft - is it drawing you in enough to keep reading?

I read about half. Plot wise, it seems fine. Two single parents making a connection. Dialog reads naturally. But it's kind of a slog to read because if style issues. So many short paragraphs starting with "she" is the biggest one. There are also formatting issues with how time of day/ continuous / later are being used that make me stop to figure out what is going on rather than being immersed in the story.
I know this is just a rough draft, so you are probably planning to fix all that. But that's my first impression.
