About this listen
In #1 New York Times-bestselling author Casey McQuiston's latest romantic comedy, two bisexual exes accidentally book the same European food and wine tour and challenge each other to a hookup competition to prove they're over each other - except they're definitely not.
Theo and Kit have been childhood best friends, crushes, lovers and, after a brutal breakup four years ago, estranged exes.
It’s not until Theo and Kit are trapped on board a tour bus that they discover that they’ve each had the same idea: to take their dream European food and wine tour – alone. And now they’re stuck with each other for three weeks of the most romantic sights and sensuous flavours of France, Spain, and Italy. But it’ll be fine. They’re absolutely over each other.
So, when Theo suggests a friendly wager to see who can sleep with their hot Italian tour guide first, Kit is game. In fact, why stop there? Why not a full-on European hookup competition?
But sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can’t have.
'The summer's best romance novel.' Rolling Stone

'Move over "hot girl summer" – "hot bisexual summer" is ready for its moment and Casey McQuiston’s new novel The Pairing is here to usher it in.' USA Today

Sumptuous and satisfying
This makes me want to immediately book a trip to Europe and carefully curate all the food and wine and experiences to see it through Casey’s eyes! A feast for the senses! The magic of their writing lets you see the world with new eyes - I strongly identified with Theo in the first half of the book but as soon as the POV switched, I was Kit.
The narration was excellent for both parts and really brought the story to life.

Amazing!!
Casey McQuiston just keeps getting better and better! RWRB is still my favourite book ever, but the quality of their writing is just amazing and I laughed and cried and I am so in love with Theo and Kit!!

Great characters!
Casey McQuiston knows how to write great characters! I was intrigued from the start and the more we got to know Kit and Theo the more invested I was. I think RWRB will always hold the no. 1 spot in my heart for CQ books, but this was up there.
I'd say I liked Theo's narrator more then Kit's - who sounded a bit too lovesick and desperate (when in a way I guess Kit is) but other then that I thoroughly enjoyed how both narrators did the voices/accents of all the characters.
I am also a sucker for a Found Family trope, and the host of characters in this story definitely gave me that vibe.

Utterly tedious
I’ve enjoyed some of Casey’s previous work, but this was utterly tedious and unengaging and I had to stop listening 2 hours in. After reading other reviews on Goodreads, I’ve chosen not to finish it.
