The Year of Second Chances by Lara Avery

I was really enjoying this novel, I loved the concept as it’s similar vibes to P.S I Love You. But, as the story progressed, I didn’t feel like the story was going anywhere, every chapter consisted of the same thing, the character going on dates, not enjoying it or not finding her groove, it not working out etc, and then it would repeat again the next chapter. I could tell right from the beginning who she was going to end up with, and for almost being half way through, her connection with him hadn’t changed since the beginning of the novel. Since the beginning we’ve probably had four chapters of the characters interacting which feels odd, and within these chapters it still feels like they are friends/people that “hardly” know each other. There hasn’t been any romantic interest.
