I originally read this book between 2000 and 2006 and it was either in the teen or young adult section of the library and the things I remember are:

  • The main characters are a girl and boy (romance subplot). I think she was from the present and he was from the future.
  • She travels forward in time with him (could be accidental) and my main memory is that using his time travel device is partially done by moving your hands in a mobius strip pattern. They also may see an actual rainbow mobius strip when they do this.
  • His father (some sort of military person in charge) does not like/trust her so she is locked up and will be sent back(?)
  • The future world did not seem large as it mainly focused on the girl, the boy, his father and the immediate colony (?) in the area.
  • She might have some sort of special ability to use their devices
  • They use some sort flyer to travel around. Reminded me of a helicopter.
  • Paradox: There is a scene where she and the boy are hiding in the bushes and waiting for and watching her past self escape for the tin shelter(?) where she is imprisoned.
  • The book had a bright rainbow coloured softcover.

    The book 'Star, Bright(1952)' by Mark Clifton slightly matches your description but its 50 years back. You might want to check that out. link

  • The travellers in Star, Bright were very young children. Eventually Dad learns to follow them. No romance.

Sounds similar to Strange Attractors, especially if it dealt with alternate dimensions and parallel time lines.
