Review: Well written, but did not connect with the main characters
Rating: 3 out of 5

Cricket was a well written, but slowly paced book.  Slow is not necessarily a bad thing, but it was coupled with the fact that I did not connect much with either of the MCs.  It felt like the story was told second-hand.  I did like the descriptions of the Cheddar area and also the house restoration project (along with the history of the house and the family that owned it).  There were some moving and some funny moments. Shenal, Nell and Stella were wonderful supporting characters. I was disappointed that, despite the title, there are not many scenes about Cricket and I was looking forward to reading about a sport with which I am not very familiar.  I enjoyed [book:Tattoos & Teacups|15719569] by the same author more.
