Read this from a copy of Asimov's SciFi magazine from Apr 2012. It's a 26,500 word novella and so worthy of its own entry here I think.
I admit the central idea, a man discovers a way to time-travel back to the 1980s and fix his relationship issues, is not new but also was what attracted me to it. It was not a bad read. The main character is contrasted with his friend who uses the time-travel technology to travel forward for an altogether different purpose.
If it had a flaw it's that it didn't have anything especially new to say and that the ending lacked punch because of it. Still enjoyed it though.
