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.

my most anticipated release of the year and i am so so thrilled i took the chance and requested an arc for this book bc i absolutely devoured this in a day and a half. cmq does it again. i laughed, i cried, i indulged, i yearned, i fell in love. theo’s strength and kit’s tenderness kept me coming back for more. the way they capture the human condition in words is so unique and has brought so much joy and flavor to my life. i truly hope they never stop writing.

I so sadly had to DNF this. I'm here for the queer and was really expecting this to be great. It's got great reviews, but I'm bored as well. I'm about 30% into the book and I just don't even care what happens to these characters. From reading reviews, I guess it gets a little better when you hear Kit's point of view, but I'm still on Theo and I just don't really see it. I feel like they were together awhile ago and they should just leave it that way. I'm not feeling the love between them. And I'm bored as hell with their trip and all their descriptions of food and wine. It's a little over done. Sadly, as much as I was excited about a queer love story, I'll find another one that hopefully gets me excited about their relationship and rooting for them! ( )

A genuinely flawless romance with exquisite writing to boot. ( )
