2022 book 138

 Claire Willett's The Rewind Files

I do love a time travel adventure, though it is rare to read one that centers on Watergate! Anyway, so it’s 2112 and our protagonist works at the Time Bureau, following in the footsteps of her famous parents, though she much prefers her math-related desk job. But when things start going wrong, she’s suddenly sent back to 1972 to try and avert World War III! (A thing that happened in their version of the world!) I appreciated that the second half of this was a solid political thriller, even though I’m not a hundred percent sure it made sense (lots of time travel shenanigans to keep track of). And I loved all the characters. Occasionally the writing was a little too over the top, but a very fun and action-packed read. A-.
