Struggling to bond

I would really appreciate any advice and support. I recently adopted a 2 year old cat. She’s still very young and playful and so I expected it to be different from my last cat. However, three days in and I am really finding it difficult to bond with her. She bites a lot and is not at all interested in sitting near me or being stroked. Do I just need to give it more time? She has not had a traumatic background but has perhaps not had as much attention as I would have given her.

I am worried that I have done this too soon after losing my last Cat (who was very gentle and special to me). I thought I was ready but am really struggling now with a cat who seems uninterested and bites often when I try to stroke her.

Do I persevere? She is sweet in many ways but just doesn’t seem to like me..
