The best thing you need is an objective opinion and you can't do that when you're stressed and have lost sight of the novel. Step back, write other things, then come back to it, and pick apart the things that are boring/confusing/don't hook you.
With the time away, it'll feel like you're a different person reading it. And with your knowledge, you're now in an advantageous position.!
