After a disaster of a breakup on the plane ride to an European food and wine tour, Theo and Kit have spent four years getting over each other. Theo has delved into the world of wine-- running a bar out of a renovated VW bus while studying to become a sommelier (and subsequently failing the exam three times with a fourth on the horizon). Kit has returned to France, the country of his childhood, and graduated from a prestigious pastry school in Paris with the achievement of "pastry sex god" under his belt.

However, the tour voucher expiring and (independently) the two exes decide to finally take the trip. Solo. As a celebration to getting over the other.

Things don't go as planned.

Now stuck sitting next to each other on a three week tour, Theo and Kit have to prove to themselves, each other, and every other person on the bus that they're over each other..

In Casey McQuiston's newest book. THE PAIRING, us readers are taken on a trip across the most romantic (and delicious) parts of Western Europe with two bisexual messes. And I do mean Bisexual Messes. The sheer amount of research and passion McQuiston poured into this book is unbelievable, and I may have found myself desperately trying to find this exact tour (with the unfortunate understanding there wouldn't be nearly as many hot and available singles in real life).

Told in dual POVs, THE PAIRING is a rare treat into the minds of both protagonists and the yearning ya'll, it's almost unbearable. However, the longing is tempered by breathtaking descriptions of the Italian coasts and french pastries and homemade pasta and some very salacious peaches ;)
