Well, I haven't really come across a lot of novels with that exact theme. However, there are novels that explore forbidden relationships in a more general sense. For example, 'Lolita' is a very well - known novel that delves into a complex and inappropriate relationship. But it's important to note that it's a very controversial piece. It's different from what your title implies but still has elements of complex relationships.
I'm sorry I can't directly recommend a novel that is exactly like'submitting to my best friend's dad novel'. But if you like stories about family and friendship with a bit of a twist, you might enjoy 'The Secret History'. It's about a group of students and their relationships, which involve secrets and a complex web of emotions.
I'm not sure about the exact plot of this novel as it could be quite specific. But generally, it might involve complex relationships and some sort of emotional journey related to the main character's feelings towards her best friend's dad.
It depends on the genre of the free novels. In some family - drama or coming - of - age genres, it might be a bit more likely to appear as a theme. But overall, compared to themes like romance or self - discovery, it's not a very common one. There are just so many other more popular themes that authors usually explore in free novels.
Since I haven't read the novel specifically, I can only assume that the main characters would be the protagonist (the one who has some sort of relationship with her best friend's dad), her best friend, and of course, the best friend's dad.
Perhaps it involves the main character finding themselves in difficult situations where they have to submit to the authority or wisdom of the best friend's dad. For example, they might be in a financial or emotional crisis and the dad steps in to help, but in a way that makes the main character feel like they are submitting. It could also explore themes of family, friendship, and growing up.
The main character would obviously be the person who is submitting to the best friend's dad. Then there's the best friend, who would play an important role in the story as the link between the main character and the dad. And of course, the best friend's dad, who could be a strict, kind, or mysterious figure depending on the plot.
It could mean that the character in the novel is surrendering or yielding to the authority or will of their best friend's dad. Maybe in the story, there are certain situations like the main character has to submit to the dad's rules or decisions for some reasons, which could be related to family, friendship, or some sort of moral obligation.
One possible theme could be forbidden love. Since it involves a relationship with the father of a best friend, it's likely to be a relationship that society might not approve of.
One similar novel could be 'My Sister's Boyfriend'. It also explores complex relationships within a group of friends and family.
The 'my dad's best friend novel' could be about a coming - of - age story in relation to the dad's best friend. Perhaps the narrator observes this friend and learns important life lessons from him. It could show how this friend has influenced the dad over the years and in turn, how that influence trickles down to the narrator. It might also deal with themes like love, loss, and friendship as seen through the unique lens of the dad - best friend relationship.
I'm not sure which specific 'My Father's Best Friend' novel you are referring to. There are many novels with diverse themes. However, some novels about family relationships and friendships might be similar, like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which also delves deep into relationships within a community and family.
