SUMMARY:Returning to Romance Through Food and Flirty Fun in Fiction with Casey McQuiston
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this virtual event and submit 
 questions to the author.\n\nBring an appetite for sizzling drama as we 
 discuss New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston's latest romantic 
 comedy\, The Pairing. \n\nWhen two bisexual exes accidentally book the same 
 European food and wine tour\, they challenge each other to a hookup 
 competition to prove they're over each other—except they're definitely 
 not.\n\nTheo 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.\n\nTime 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.\n\nAll 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.\n\nIt'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?\n\nBut sometimes a taste of everything only makes you 
 crave what you can't have.\n\nRegister now to join our discussion about
