Paradox Bound by Peter Clines

 

This is a really fun time-travel novel that doesn't particularly concern itself with any putative science (or "science") of time travel, just says things work a certain way and they do, and that's that. There are some Easter eggs--people, places, events one might recognize--but the story does focus mostly on a couple of characters, as they go times and see places and eventually kinda resolve the core problem of the story. There's a lot to be said, given the current state of things, for a novel literally about restoring the American Dream, especially one as overall hopeful as this one. It's not perfect, there are some bumps on the road, but it's more than good enough.
