Running with Lions

Bloomington High School Lions' star goalie Sebastian Hughes should be excited about his senior year: His teammates are amazing, and he's got a coach who doesn't ask anyone to hide their sexuality. But when his estranged childhood-best-friend Emir Shah shows up at summer training camp, Sebastian realizes the team's success may end up in the hands of the one guy who hates him. Determined to reconnect with Emir for the sake of the Lions, he sets out to regain Emir's trust. But to Sebastian's surprise, sweaty days on the pitch, wandering the town's streets, and bonding on the weekends spark more than just friendship between them.

I will always be happy about an author that manages to be successful after writing fanfiction (we love fic in this house)! Great representation and diversity and I love a good friendship group but I’ll sadly say that this won’t be memorable to me…Otherwise lovely message about football/soccer needing to be more accepting towards the lgbtq+ community, which is sadly still a problem. Will give this author another read eventually!
