But as they got to know each other better through various interactions, they fell in love. Their relationship development is full of misunderstandings and reconciliations.

The ability to let go of the past romantically is important. If they keep dwelling on the romantic aspect of their past relationship, it will be hard to be just friends. Accepting that the romantic chapter is closed and focusing on building a new platonic relationship is necessary. Also, having a common goal or interest can help. Maybe they both care about a certain charity or they have the same group of friends, which gives them a reason to interact in a friendly way.

Sure. One story could be about two friends, Tom and Lily. They grew up together, always sharing secrets and having adventures.

They then started a beautiful relationship.

A wonderful 'friends turned lovers' romance novel is 'Roomies' by Christina Lauren. It's about a girl who needs to get married quickly for visa reasons and her friend who offers to marry her. As they go through the process, their friendship transforms into love. 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang also has some elements of this. The main character hires a male escort, who becomes her friend first and then they fall in love. Additionally, 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen can be considered in this category.
