Summary from Goodreads:
When the picture tells
the story…
Senior year is almost over, and Jamie Peterson has a big problem. Not college—that’s all set. Not prom—he’ll find a date somehow. No, it’s the worst problem of all: he’s fallen for his best friend.
As much as Jamie tries to keep it under wraps, everyone seems to know where his affections lie, and the giggling girls in art class are determined to help Jamie get together with Mason. But Jamie isn’t sure if that’s what he wants—because as much as Jamie would like to come clean to Mason, what if the truth ruins everything? What if there are no more road trips, taco dinners, or movie nights? Does he dare risk a childhood friendship for romance?
This book is about what happens when a picture reveals what we can’t say, when art is truer than life, and how falling in love is easy, except when it’s not. Fan Art explores the joys and pains of friendship, of pressing boundaries, and how facing our worst fears can sometimes lead us to what we want most.

An Excerpt from Fan Art, by Sarah Tregay:
Chapter Four
No. No, no. No.
I did not just do that. I can’t believe I just did that! Mason
and I have been friends since third grade, and I have never looked at him like
that. Other guys, yeah, but not him. It should be in the Bible. Thou shalt not check out thy best friend.
I wait a minute to catch my
breath and the last shred of my sanity before I follow Mason into the locker
room. I head for the sinks and splash water onto my face in an attempt to
straighten out my thoughts. I’m okay with bent thoughts—I have them all the
time—but checking out Mason? That’s going too far. He’s my best friend. And
everyone knows friend crushes are the worst—even guy-girl friend crushes—drama,
angst, broken hearts, you name it. It’s bad—real bad. And straight-guy-gay-guy
friend crushes? I don’t even want to think about that apocalypse.
I take a deep breath and watch as the water
collects along my upper lip. I mouth the words, Mason. Is. Not. Cute.
