I also love that this dealt with other issues outside of the romance body positivity and image, bullying, homophobia in sport and so much more came up. "Why do people let things so precious to them turn into dark, unbearable secrets?" Julian Winters used to be a big fanfic writer and you can tell because it utilises those corny romance tropes so perfectly I love it. Honestly their whole romance was just pure fun, it had so many cheesy tropes and cliche moments but I LOVED IT. They're so sweet and I just think they deserve the world. I seriously loved how cute this was like urgh!!! You know when the couple are so cute you gotta scream into a pillow to contain the feels? thats how I feel about Emir and Sebastian. Whilst struggling to adapt to his new role as captain of the Lions, Sebastian, being the giant gay that he is, also finds himself super attracted to Emir and now he's got double shit to deal with. The main character Sebastian, wants to make captain but is blindsided by the new addition to the team - former best friend Emir Shah, who's terrible attitude has Sebastian wondering where their friendship went wrong. So Running With Lions basically follows a team called The Lions who are at their summer sports camp. No offense but this was so cute and my cold dead heart wasn't ready to so violently care about these angsty jocks I mean !! Sebastian, a bi disaster really going out there and Doing That, just snatching himself up a man over summer camp? Iconic! "And that's the thing, life is sometimes just another day, and sometimes it's moment after moment after moment that only paralyzes you if you let it."
