Bring an appetite for sizzling drama as we discuss \;New York Times \;bestselling au thor Casey McQuiston's latest romantic comedy\, \;The Pairing . \;

\n

When two bisexual exes accidentally book the same Europea n food and wine tour\, they challenge each other to a hookup competition t o prove they're over each other&mdash\;except they're definitely not.

\ n

Theo and Kit have been a lot of things: childhood best friends\, crush es\, in love\, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the trans atlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour\, they exited e ach other's lives once and for all.

\n

Time apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring s ommelier by day\, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit\, who never ret urned to America\, graduated as the reigning sex god of his pastry school class and now bakes at one of the finest restaurants in Paris. Sure\, noth ing really compares to what they had\, and life stretches out long and lon ely ahead of them\, but&mdash\;yeah. It's in the past.

\n

All that re mains is the unused voucher for the European tour that never happened\, go od for 48 months after its original date and about to expire. Four years l ater\, it seems like a great idea to finally take the trip. Solo. Separate ly.

\n

It's not until they board the tour bus that they discover they 've both accidentally had the exact same idea\, and now they're trapped wi th each other for three weeks of stunning views\, luscious flavors\, and t he most romantic cities of France\, Spain\, and Italy. It's fine. There's nothing left between them. So much nothing that\, when Theo suggests a fri endly wager to see who can sleep with their hot Italian tour guide first\, Kit is totally game. And why stop there? Why not a full-on European hooku p competition?

\n

But sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can't have.
