The Gay Best Friend by Nicolas DiDomizio
5.0
Oh my God, I ADORED this book. I saw another review where the reviewer said that DiDomizio's The Gay Best Friend is like an Emily Henry book, but gay. That sentence sums it up.
I don't know if I can even get my thoughts together, this book will stay with me and I can't wait to purchase it for my shelf.
Dom is the gay best friend of the groom (Patrick) and the bride (Kate). Nothing can go wrong...
He attends the bachelor party and gets put into a tough situation with multiple bros and their actions. Then with all the secrets he's trying to keep, he goes to the bride's bachelorette party. Even more secrets are revealed and second-hand embarrassment is entirely real.
While romance is a part of the plot, I believe that the other messages hold more weight. A person coming out. A person trying to maintain their life because of societal expectations. Miscommunication (and no, the miscommunication trope is NOT cringe or really a big part of this story.) I can't praise this book enough.
It's perfect.
