Do NOT give up!
Please don't!
What do you need help with? I will do my best to give advice :)

Ok, so you have all these ideas, secrets and plans, right? It may be a bit overwhelming. I suggest that you take a step back and focus on the beginning. Start at the start. Don't write about Shine's past, her secret, just yet. Give the reader a taste of the book, the story. The present. Focus on what's happening in the present before you revisit her past.
Your character, Shine, has these deep dark secrets. She doesn't want to reveal them. So don't make her! But make it apparent that she's hiding something. Not just from the other characters, but from the reader, as well. Show her hesitation in the way she walks, the way she interacts with other characters. Maybe have her re-visit a scene that stirs up some long-lost and forgotten emotions. Display these emotions, but don't explain them.
By doing this, it rises some questions about Shine's past.

Another way, is to write out all of Shine's secrets, that way you can get it out of your way. Have this paper near you as you write, so that you know the secret as well as Shine, but no one else does. You're in control. You're the one who will choose when to reveal this secret.
And remember; only reveal information when you need it. If you think the reader will start to get confused at a certain point, then you can sprinkle in a taste of what's coming. Try to reveal little bits of the big, big secret so that the reader wants to keep reading in order to discover the huge secret.
Also, you need to make this secret big. So big that when it's finally revealed, it will have been worth it.
If you don't think the secret is big enough, then you can always expand it. Make a mind-map if you like, with the big bad secret in the middle, and around it are smaller unknowns that you can reveal a little more easily.

I hope I've helped. I'm not a professional writer, however–though I hope to be, one day...
I've recently had trouble with my first novel; I had this whole plan and character profiles, but half-way into it I realized I really didn't think it all the way through. I'm determined to finish it, however, and then probably leave the edited manuscript in a cardboard box in my closet as a reminder of my first finished novel. I don't think I'll publish it, or let anyone else read it, but it'll be finished and it'll be mind.
Luckily I've dreamt up another idea for a novel. For this one, I'm planning out everything. I will nurture it into a novel some day, I'm sure of it.

Happy writing! :)

Wow I just realized how long that turned out.
Sorry about that 😂
