The Pairing

by Casey McQuiston

Buy on Amazon

San Sebastián, Pisa, Monaco, Nice: a dream itinerary for a food-stuffed, wine-soaked Eurotrip, but also the necessary route for exes Theo and Kit to revisit their failed relationship four years later as new people who are still hopelessly in love with each other. However, that will not stop these sensualists from competing on a hookup tour at every mouth-watering stop. Casey McQuiston composes odes upon odes to making friends at food markets, to wandering vineyards for a boozy lunch, to saying yes to a surprise meal or a surprise lover. The sublime symmetry of the trip and the alternating rom-com narration makes it even more thrilling to watch Kit and Theo decide which pieces of themselves to pick back up and which to leave behind.

"This tour de force of accents and vocal work is a testament to narrators Emma Galvin and Max Meyers’s skills. Any scene can require a half dozen international accents belonging to characters with varying moods and personalities. A true feast of vocal work and culinary descriptions! (14.25 hrs)"
