No i'm sure it's not just you. This is a difficult format to follow a story like this. The times from the past are almost unimportant. All that is happening is that Anna's past is gradually catching up to the present. The exception is the 1 year ago flashback when we learn of the death of Joshua's parents.

I think after every 10 posts, i'll do a "Story so far" summary post. Hopefully that will help as we go, assuming I get anywhere near 20 posts....I hope so.
