No livro nós acompanhamos o time de futebol do ensino médio de uma escola dos EUA num acampamento de verão, onde eles vão treinar bastante pra nova temporada de jogos e reencontrar velhos amigos e... se apaixonar! Um bom romance young adult pra aquecer o coraçãozinho
Sebastian é o protagonista e eu já gostei dele de primeira. A escrita do Julien é boa e quando a gente vê já leu 60% do livro sem nem perceber. É um romance lgbt com muita diversidade, e o mais legal é a discussão que traz sobre a masculinidade tóxica e o preconceito (racial, social, sexual e etc) nos esportes de times, como o futebol. O treinador é super entrosado com a causa e faz com que todos se sintam bem vindos no time ♡
Um livro curtinho, com bons ensinamentos e ótimos personagens. A gente vai de boas risadas até aquela lágrimazinha escorrendo de leve

Why do people let things so precious to them turn into dark, unbearable secrets?
This was the cute, cheesy read I expected! I was kind of hoping for a lot more depth, but unfortunately this didn't do it for me. The first half of the book was very confusing for me; both because the strange use of the third person narrator and because, even being mostly character driven, I had lots of trouble identifying the characters. But after I got the hang of it, Running With Lions turned out to be an adorable story with some meaningful messages, even if not new; but honestly, I could read a thousand times the story of discovering and accepting your sexuality. Handled correctly, it's always an important topic.
Another thing I didn't like was the lack of football. Not cool, friends! Like, it DOES have some football on it, but it specially focuses on teamwork in general. That's cool, I guess, but I was expecting more things on the sport? Also, where are all my girls? This needed more girls, definitely, because with the lack of them everything that Gray did had to be judged as the 99.9% of the female representation and... not good.
The secondary characters were cute and nice, I think, but Emir was the only one that shone in the story! Even as Sebastian as our protagonist, Emir was the only one with a distinct voice in the story. I loved his humor so much.
Overall, a cute story to kill time!
He’s tired of trying to be this amazing version of a guy that everyone else sees but Sebastian can’t find when he stares in the mirror.

This was a fun summer love story but I just felt like the author was trying to fit so much into the month?? that the story takes place in. I just wish it would have been longer so things didn't feel as cramped but I still enjoyed this.

Mm me esperaba más de este libro, pero creo que no cumplió lo que quería por la forma de narrar y de escribir que utilizó la autora. La narración en tercera persona me parece una mala elección para esta historia, además que la escritora redactó el libro un poco sin ganas, hay como 5 descripciones de las cosas y el resto son narraciones (cortas) o diálogos. Muy poca explicación y profundidad entre los personajes y su propia historia.
Además, entiendo que se quería exponer como el deporte puede apoyar al colectivo LGTB y todo eso, pero todo muy Mrs. Wonderfull. No sé, que se peguen con alguien por llamarle faggot digo yo, queremos drama aquí.
En general está bien, pero podría estar mejor. Es eso o es que estoy acostumbrada a leer cosas de alto calibre como son los libros de Wattpad

I read Julian Winter’s book Right Where You Left Me earlier this year and loved it so I was very excited to read this book. I think the difference between this book and Right Where You Left Me shows that Julian Winter has grown a lot as an author. This book wasn’t great. There were things I liked, like the diverse cast and the fact this is a YA sports book with lgbtq+ accepting characters and without much homophobia. Very wholesome. The writing of this book wasn’t the best though and the plot was not that exciting. Not much happened throughout the book and the romance part of the book felt very rushed. If you want to read Julian Winter’s books I would suggest skipping this one.
