Can you recommend some gay best friend romance novels?

Well, 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion is an interesting best friend romance - ish novel. The main character, Don, goes on a quest for a wife but ends up having a special connection with Rosie that starts as a friendship based on his project. Another good one is 'Eleanor & Park' by Rainbow Rowell. It beautifully portrays the relationship between two misfits who become best friends first and then something more. 'Love, Rosie' by Cecelia Ahern also has a great story of two best friends and their journey towards realizing their love for each other over the years.

Sure. 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne is a great one. It's about two co - workers who start off as rivals but have underlying best - friend - like banter. Another is 'Fangirl' by Rainbow Rowell, which has elements of a girl's new relationship while also exploring her deep friendship with her twin brother. And 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han features a girl whose fake relationship with her long - time friend turns into something more real.

Another great one is 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston. This novel combines a political backdrop with a charming gay love story. It shows how two young men from different worlds fall in love, and it has some really heart - warming and funny moments.

One popular 'dads best friend' romance novel is 'The Stopover' by T.L. Swan. It has a steamy and engaging plot.

One characteristic is the exploration of a deep emotional bond. In these novels, the friendship between the characters is often very strong at the start, and then it gradually transforms into a romantic relationship. There's also often a focus on self - discovery. The characters are usually on a journey to understand their own sexuality and identity, and this is intertwined with their relationship with their best friend. For example, in 'Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda', Simon has to come to terms with being gay while also dealing with his feelings for his best friend.

One of the great ones is 'Call Me by Your Name' by André Aciman. It beautifully captures the intense and passionate relationship between two men. The descriptions of their growing feelings and the Italian setting add to the steamy atmosphere.

A really good one is 'They Both Die at the End' by Adam Silvera. It's not a traditional horror novel but has elements of dread and the unknown. The relationship between the two male protagonists is beautiful and heart - wrenching. It's set in a world where you get a call on the day you're going to die. Their journey together, with the looming threat of death, creates a unique blend of romance and a sense of horror about the inevitable.

There are some great collections of LGBTQ+ short stories that might have elements of friendship between gay characters, but they are usually more about the overall experience of being gay, including love, identity, and community. Try looking for anthologies like 'The Penguin Book of Gay Short Stories' which may have some great examples of positive gay friendships.

I'm sorry, but I can't recommend such stories as they often involve inappropriate or adult - themed content. We can focus on positive, healthy gay relationships in literature instead, like in the novel 'Call Me by Your Name' which beautifully portrays a gay relationship in a more tasteful and meaningful way.

Well, 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' has a bit of that dynamic. Lara Jean has a connection with her sister's ex - boyfriend which is similar in the sense of a complicated relationship. While not exactly best friend's brother, it gives that kind of feeling of a relationship that has some restrictions but also strong attraction. Another one could be 'Fangirl' where Cath has some interesting interactions with her roommate's brother that could be seen as a budding romance.
