Sometimes it's difficult to get people interested in them, so more than ever you need to make sure you have a unique storyline and captivating characters, something that will make people want to keep on reading. I understand that it's harder when it's fiction that's closer to real life, but you need to develop some sort of plot. Also, spellcheck might help (a lot). Try eliminating some of the dialogue (you've got too much pointless speaking) and work on more descriptions, so that the reader feels drawn in to the story. I have to admit, I didn't finish reading all of it--that tells you you need to improve on the interest-level of the story. Also, writing in stream of consciousness is great for some novels, but only if you do it right. For now, I'd advise you to speak less colloquially because it seems way too informal. Good luck!
