Your Life has been Delayed by Mason

YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN DELAYED by Michelle I. Mason is a coming of age novel where the main character has barely aged in 25 years. That’s because seventeen-year- old Jenny boarded flight 237 from New York City to Saint Louis in 1995, landing in 2020. She stayed the same, but her younger brother and high school friends are now adults with busy lives and she is learning to negotiate 21st century high school (including social media) from some of their children. And that is before dealing with her overly protective parents who keep secrets and do not even let her drive. Mason provides an easy (though slow at points) read which explores how dependent we have become on our devices and online persona. YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN DELAYED is a light escape best suited to middle school and younger high school students.
