The Pairing BY Casey McQuiston

In The European Hookup, #1 New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston delivers a charming romantic comedy featuring two bisexual exes who find themselves on an unexpected adventure. Theo and Kit, once childhood friends and passionate lovers, are now estranged after a messy breakup that occurred on their ill-fated transatlantic flight to a dream European food and wine tour.

Years later, both have moved on—Theo as a confident bartender and aspiring sommelier, and Kit as a celebrated pastry chef in Paris. They’re living fulfilling lives, or so they tell themselves, until the unused tour voucher for their failed trip comes close to expiring. With a bit of nostalgia and a desire for adventure, both decide to embark on the tour alone, unaware that the other has the same idea.

Their surprise reunion on the tour bus sets the stage for an amusing and heated competition. Theo proposes a wager: who can hook up with their handsome Italian tour guide first? Kit agrees, and soon, their playful rivalry evolves into a full-blown European hookup competition.

Amidst stunning views, delectable food, and the romantic allure of France, Spain, and Italy, Theo and Kit navigate their unresolved feelings and undeniable chemistry. As they each sample the pleasures of Europe, they realize that some things are more fulfilling than fleeting encounters. In a witty and heartwarming exploration of love, desire, and second chances, McQuiston captures the essence of romance with humor and heartfelt emotion.
