A review by juliescalzo
The Cactus League by Emily Nemens

3.0

My general thoughts about this book are that I’m relieved to be done with this, and I’m sad that it didn’t live up to the hype for me. It’s told from a bunch of point of views all focusing around the Los Angeles Lions, a professional baseball team, and their time spent in Arizona for Spring Training. The reader hears from everyone from the star baseball player to the owner to the baseball groupies. This was definitely well written and an interesting concept, but I just didn’t connect with it. I think all of the different perspectives threw me off, and it felt slow at times. It’s probably one I should’ve just abandoned.
