I enjoy reading gay novels, but I get really tired of only reading about skinny and heavily muscled characters. So I'm looking for books with gay characters who are fat/plus-sized. I would prefer there to be a romance element as well, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the focus of the story. Also would prefer no weight loss plots, but it's fine if the characters are insecure. Thank you!
