It's not bad, it's just not memorable.
By trying to insert many years of Tom's life, the writer lost the chance to insert some gravitas into it all.
It seemed like the focus was going to be Tom's relationship with his sister but then it kinda fizzled out... was it going to be about his love life? Nop, a sudden off-screen ending to that, its publishing process... just a bit here and there, easily and fastly solved. Hence, the lack of memorability.
