Bloomsbury presents Your Life Has Been Delayed by Michelle I. Mason, read by Julie Rogers.

How do you move forward when your entire life is stuck in the past? In this captivating YA debut, Michelle I. Mason tells the story of a girl who takes off on a flight and lands...twenty-five years later.

After visiting her grandparents in New York City, Jenny Waters is ready for the perfect senior year. She’s going to hang out with her best friend Angie, finally kiss her new boyfriend Steve, and convince her parents to let her apply to Columbia so she can become an award-winning journalist. But when her plane lands in St. Louis, Jenny and the other passengers are told their plane vanished into thin air. . . and then reappeared twenty-five years later.

Suddenly, it’s not 1995 anymore. Everyone in Jenny’s life has spent the last twenty-five years mourning her death. Jenny has missed two decades of pop culture, and her high school is practically unrecognizable. Learning about cell phones and social media is difficult enough, but the unexplainable mystery of the flight has also thrust Jenny’s entire life into the spotlight—which makes it extra-complicated when Jenny falls for a cute, kind classmate with an unusual connection to her past.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!

This book GRABBED my attention immediately! I loved how it starts out in 1990s and then she goes on the plane! I felt her feelings and her embarrassment. It makes you feel like you know Jenny so well! I also really loved how she becomes friends with Dillian and art ( you’ll meet them later) I also liked the little bit of romance in it. I DEFINITELY recommend!

Grab a copy!

When I first read the description of this book, I nearly jumped out of my seat, because it was that good. A girl gets on a plane that takes off in 1995 and lands three hours later in 2020. I knew this story was going to be something special. As someone who was born in 1990, I've only caught the tail end of the dramatic changes in technology and the world at large that the book captures so well. But it's not just the premise and the macro changes that makes this book so wonderful, but the painful immediacy of being with the main character, Jenny, as she navigates the changes in the world, the losses, social media, and freaky temporal issues. Grab a copy if you can. It's truly a stellar read.
