My pick would have to be the A Whole Nother Story trilogy, in which (spoiler warning) you can only travel back in time. But because time is in a loop of sorts, if you go before the beginning of time, you will be at the end of time. From there you can go back to any time you want to. And time paradoxes cannot be produced. Plus, your memories from the previous timeline exist as well as the memories from the new one.

    Lightning by Dean Koontz - book itself was kind of cheesy (and a little overlong IMO), but it is by far the most interesting take on time travel I’ve ever encountered. There’s nothing overly complex about it at all, but let’s just say Koontz found a bit of a (very basic) loophole through the scientific impossibility of time travel

      Agreed, haven’t read it since I first did in high school and loved it so much. Considering revisiting it as an adult but also worried about the cheese

        I did it on audiobook, so that probably helped me finish it. Reading it physically might’ve been tougher

      I liked it and the simplicity is what makes koontz’s books almost believable. When I read watchers I could imagine that dog in real life.
