Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
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 a lot of things: childhood best friends, crushes, in love, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour, they exited each other's lives once and for all.
Time apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring sommelier by day, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit, who never returned 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, nothing really compares to what they had, and life stretches out long and lonely ahead of them, but—yeah. It's in the past.
All that remains is the unused voucher for the European tour that never happened, good for 48 months after its original date and about to expire. Four years later, it seems like a great idea to finally take the trip. Solo. Separately.
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 with each other for three weeks of stunning views, luscious flavors, and the 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 friendly 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 hookup competition?
But sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can't have.

“I finished listening to The Pairing on Audible. Just a heads up it is a pretty spicy book, but most of the spice happens as you get further in. I'll start with the positive part of this book. The tour that Kit & Theo go on through France and Italy is so beautifully written and descriptive that I felt like I was right there with them seeing the sights and enjoying the food and drinks. The characters did grow during their 4 years apart which was clear. The spice was good too. I thought it was well-written. That said, I didn't feel very connected to Theo and Kit like I did Henry and Alex in Red, White, and Royal Blue. As I read, I found myself not caring too much about the main characters, especially once it was revealed why they broke up. The breakup was all based on miscommunications, misunderstandings, and assumptions that could have been resolved in at least a long phone call. After that I felt annoyed. Is there a 3rd act breakup? Yes, it was unnecessary here. Was it also annoying? Yes, it didn't make sense. I won't spoil anymore. That said, it's just my opinion give it read if it interests you. For me, it just wasn't my cup of tea.”

The coming out scene for Theo was honestly perfect!! They're so quickly embraced I stead of just accepted. It's like Kit knew all along that Theo has always been Non-Binary and has loved them because of it! Truly amazing scenery and every page paints a picture in your mind.”Alisha Skeel
