Bridesmaids meets The Guncle in this clever LGBTQIA+ romantic story by the author Steven Rowley calls ""unforgettable""

He's always been the token gay best friend. Now, stuck between a warring bride and groom hurtling toward their one perfect day, he's finally ready to focus on something new- himself.

Domenic Marino has become an expert at code-switching between the hypermasculine and ultrafeminine worlds of his two soon-to-be-wed best friends. But this summer-reeling from his own failed engagement and tasked with attending their bachelor and bachelorette parties-he's anxious over having to play both sides.

The pressure is on. The bride wants Dom to keep things clean. The groom wants Dom to ""let loose"" with the guys. And Dom just wants to get out of this whole mess with his friendships intact.

But once the rowdy groomsmen show up at the beach house-including a surprise visit from the groom's old frat brother, handsome and charming PGA star Bucky Graham-chaos (and unexpected romance) quickly ensues. By the time Dom returns for the bachelorette party, he's accumulated a laundry list of secrets that threaten to destroy everything-from the wedding, to Bucky's career, to the one thing Dom hasn't been paying nearly enough attention to lately- his own life.

Reviews for The Gay Best Friend

Absurdly charming and outrageously irreverent, The Gay Best Friend is a goddamn delight from start to finish. Brimming with cheeky wit, breathtaking tenderness, and just enough chaotic messiness to have me screaming every other page, the term beach read was invented for a book like this. Nicolas DiDomizio is one of the funniest authors in the game, and I'll read anything he writes. -- Mazey Eddings, author of The Plus One Equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenching, The Gay Best Friend is not to be missed. It explores the complexities of love, friendship, and our capacity for forgiveness with sharp, emotional detail. In Dom, DiDomizio has created an unforgettable character to root for and relate to. I loved every page. -- Annette Christie, author of The Rehearsals Filled with charm, hilarity, sweetness and swoon, The Gay Best Friend is an absolute MUST-READ. DiDomizio deftly creates characters that are as lovable as they are deliciously-flawed, and I am officially obsessed with this book. -- Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Wrong Number and The Love Wager Outrageously witty and incisive! THE GAY BEST FRIEND captures all the kinetic energy of a 90s Julia Roberts film and queers it. A perfect summer read that reminds us: putting yourself first should never be a second thought. -- Timothy Janovsky, author of Never Been Kissed The Gay Best Friend is fun, frothy, and full of feels. With characters so messy they seem like people you've known your entire life--you know, the ones you simultaneously want to shake some sense into and hug the stuffing out of--it's the perfect beach read. -- Xio Axelrod, USA Today Bestselling Author
