Need help, saw a book that caught my attention and went back to buy it but it wasn't there anymore :(
here are some info I've gathered:

Fiction book
A man able to go back in time, remake important decisions
Creates two timelines, present and past
Guess: written fairly recently
From English speaking country

I'm sorry, I know it's not a lot to go on, I'll also try to find it again in other bookshops

Sounds a bit like Dark Matter or Recursion by Blake Crouch.

>2 jollyavis: it is unfortunately neither of these two, but thank you very much for answering

This may be Time Salvager by Wesley Chu.

I don't think all the details match but maybe the Timewars series?

About 20 years ago, Harry Turtledove wrote a pair of novellas called Forty, Counting Down and Twenty-One, Counting Up, which tell the story of a guy going back in time to change the past from the perspectives of his older and younger selves, respectively. I thought they had been published under one cover at some point, but can't find any evidence of that here or at ISFDB.

Here they are as an audio book:

And here's the Wikipedia page on the paperback. I think this is the cover of the copy I own...which is in storage.

This sounds a little like "Pastwatch" to me (Orson Scott Card)?

Could be There Will Be Time by Poul Anderson. Might be a bit too early but it's worth a check.

>14 spaceowl: There Will Be Time doesn't match the summary. In particular, the past (or future) cannot be changed in the Anderson novel.

A long shot, but maybe The Revisionists byThomas Mullen?
