*I received a copy of this book free in exchange for my honest review.Advantage Erin was by not a long story, it was short and quick, but that by no means detracted from the quality. This book showed a mother-daughter relationship, and how pushing your child into your shoes can sometimes be the same as pushing your daughter away.Erin liked to play tennis, Erin's mum liked to win, and if Erin didn't perform up to her mothers ideal she'd get an earful. Her mother was forceful, but she wasn't a bad person and took a trip back in time for Erin to begin to understand her mother.I used to play tennis and my father is an avid tennis player/watcher so I understood all the terms used in the book and found myself understanding it more than if I didn't know. If you know absolutely nothing about tennis, it doesn't matter, the book's still great! I just felt the knowledge added another layer to the story.The only really sad thing about the book was Sunny. I loved him, even though we didn't see all that much of him, I thought he was great and I was really hoping Erin would decide it didn't matter about "popularity" and she should be friends (or maybe more) with him. I was sad about the change after Erin came back - I actually quite liked Sunny's name.This book was a quick, fun read and I enjoyed Erin's journey to the past and her totally awesome grandmother. If you just want a quick book to read (that's not a brainless romance) I would definitely recommend you try this book.
