A review by yankeefangirl
The Cactus League by Emily Nemens
3.0
3.5* on this one, I'm kind of undecided between a 3 and a 4. I was really excited to win this on a Goodreads giveaway because I'm a big baseball fan and just took my first trip to Arizona, so I started it on my trip.
It's centralized around a fictional baseball team called the LA Lions and a superstar player named Jason Goodyear. Each chapter is a different POV of various people involved with the team or residents of Phoenix. I found all the characters realistic and relatable, but none of them were revisited in the book, so it seemed like there wasn't any character development. There didn't seem to be any huge plot developments either. It was just about what each person was doing, there wasn't any climax at the end.
I didn't dislike the book, just think it fell a little flat and ended up thinking "what's the point?"
