This was so much fun. It reminded me of Spin Me Right Round and Back to the Future! I loved the whole aspect of the fact that everyone thought the MC was dead. This was so good!

Great premise (I love the TV series Manifest). This was a light and quick read for me, and while I appreciated all the angst and flat out trauma that Jenny experienced - I mean, can you imagine how you'd respond? - I didn't like her love interest. It was just uncomfortably awkward enough to cast a pall on the story.

While this book was enjoyable, I did find myself struggling through the angst. The premise is promising, however, I felt the book fell flat in execution. Very little felt believable or had heart.

We will be not be ordering "Your Life Has Been Delayed" - the book did not live up to the actual premise.

This book sounded good in theory but it just wasn't for me. It was okay enough but it didn't grab my attention and I just pushed my way through it. Chalking it up to it's not you, it's me.

It's 1995 when Jenny Waters gets on a plane in New York but when she gets off 25 years have passed. I'm not normally a fan of science fiction but this book focused more on the changes that have happened in the past 25 years and that Jenny has to catch up on. These changes are both the obvious like her 12-year-old younger brother now being close to 40 and other technological and social changes. Imagine getting off a plane and seeing a cell phone for the first time, or learning about a thing called the internet.

This is an entertaining read and light approach to the subject of time travel.

I wanted to love this book so much; I did. However, I may have set my hopes a bit too high if we were honest.

The pacing of this book feels like a snail's pace most of the time, but you get blips where we are suddenly moving at a breakneck speed to the next plot point. It feels like we manifest the story's ending out of nowhere because it sure doesn't feel like that was where the story was progressing.

Something about Jenny's inner voice constantly made me think more of someone you'd see planning for a sock hop rather than chilling at the mall. Which is exasperated by the lack of definition, there is for Jenny. What we do get is things like that she is passionate about becoming a journalist or doesn't like flashy clothes.

This lack of character building and development spreads out further to the (rather large) cast of supporting characters.

Fabulous premise, questionable execution. Felt a lot like Manifest. I really wanted more from this book; the romance was not it for me.

I am so happy to finally be reviewing this book. It's not typically what I go for when I read but I am so glad I did. Cute, simple, sweet is how I would put this book

I wanted to love this book, it gave such a good description. I found it to be okay at best, with some moments dragging a bit for me.

It was an interesting idea, follow through could have used a bit more thought. The romance felt a little forced and I wasn't into it. Could have been just me though.

I thought this book would be better but I found it growing boring just like the TV show it was inspired by (Manifest). On top of that, the romance element was boring and the most interesting part of the book was unfortunately the book summary. Also, the character (white) is so badly racist, even if it's casual or in surprise or whatever like ma'am it is 2020 get a GRIP. There was WAY too much focus on the romance too.

I thought the premise is really compelling and a lot of the story was, but i think it just fell apart in the second half.

Brilliant premise, and the story flew by -- it was a super-engrossing read, and I found myself finishing it within just a couple sittings!

However, I found it a little hard to connect to any character but Jenny, and... I don't love who our lead ultimately fell in love with. The more you think about it, the more weird -- and awkward -- it gets, and... I found it hard to think about anything but that as the story kept progressing.

Still, as aforementioned, the premise was intriguing, and Mason did a phenomenal job of capturing that dissonance of "being in the wrong decade" (in Jenny's case, quite literally)!

What a terrific premise! When high school student Jenny flies home from visiting her grandparents, she travels forward in time . . . 25 years. She struggles to find her new place in a world where her grandparents are dead, her parents have aged, technology has changed everything she knew about journalism, her high school sweetheart has grown up and married her best friend, and that best friend wrote a book . . . a tell-all about Jenny. A bit of romance thrown in makes this for a fun read.

your life has been delayed is a pretty good book. perfect if you're looking for a quick and fun read. the plot felt a little too slow-paced, and the wiring style was not for me, but other than that, would definitely recommend it! thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an earc of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
3/5

In 1995, Jenny Walters boards her plane but when she lands, she's 25 years in the future. This immediately sends an uproar throughout the media because everyone thought the passengers on that plane had died.

When Jenny gets back to her family, she has to get used to everything that has happened since 1995: technology, the internet, phones. And it doesn't help that the media is watching her like she's some kind of alien.

But there are other problems in her life. Her best friend Angie, her parents, the media, and a cute boy Jenny crosses paths with. Multiple times.

Even though I haven't time-traveled by plane, the COVID-19 pandemic had a similar effect on many people that I think we can all kind of relate to how Jenny was feeling.

The romance in this book I was not too big of a fan of. It seemed kind of shallow and it felt like the only reason Jenny liked the boy was because of his looks (you'll understand if you read the book).

Overall, Your Life Has Been Delayed was a fun read. I liked the support group that Jenny and the other passengers attended. I felt that it gave them a sense of comfort, something we can all use if we had to go through their situation. Looking forward to her next book!

Jenny Waters has just gone forward in time -- 25 years! She got on a plane in NYC in 1995 and landed in St. Louis in 2020. Talk about jet lag! This book has some sci-fi, some social media angst, a little romance, and a lot of heart. It was such a fun read. Cultural references abound for the 90's and up to the present. There are some apt comparisons to "Back In Time," one of my favorite movies, as well as plugs for the Hunger Games series. At one point in the midst of her learning curve with social media, Jenny compares it to Telephone on steroids. Well said, Jenny, well said.

The premise of this book sounded really good and it did start off pretty interesting as well. The whole time traveling aspect in this book was interesting to me but I feel like in the end it just kind of fell flat. But the things I was most interesting in was how our main character was going to navigate the new time and her adjusting to all the changes that have happened. But again this fell flat and that's mainly because the main character was insufferable. She was so self-centered, whiny and overdramatic. It just wasn't an enjoyable reading experience. Like I understand your life has been completely turned upside down but I feel like a lot of the things she got super upset about had nothing to do with the time skip she experienced but just typical teen drama stuff so I'm not giving her an excuse. She also just centers herself in every single thing and is incapable of putting herself in someone else's place. We are also told a lot about her personality from other people but none of her actions actually match up with those personality traits. For example, we are told she's annoyingly respectful of authority and always does exactly what she's told by authorative figures. However our main character spends the entire novel thinking about how she can undermine what the FBI told her to do. It's got so annoying very quickly. Another one of the most talked about character traits she has is her passion for journalism, and as someone who is a journalism major that was painful to read. I really had a hard time believing our main character had this passion because she knew near to nothing about it and that can't be blamed on the time jump because the basics are the same, the format has just changed. Anyway, besides the main character I also didn't really like the romance. I just didn't feel any chemistry between the two characters and I just think it would have been better if they just stayed friends throughout the book. The side characters were also really flat and this read like the author also hasn't talked to a single teen since 1995. It was so cringy to read at times and there were also just so many plot threads that weren't properly wrapped up. But yeah, the only reason this wasn't a one star is because it was a very quick read and I did quite like the beginning (I even teared up a little bit when she was first reunited with her family members). But yeah, this wasn't a great book.
