Beautifully descriptive, best served with an indulgent meal and a cocktail, this book was a slutty bi-for-bi masterpiece. 

I do fully understand criticisms of The Pairing. Both Theo and Kit are at times extremely bougie, by no fault of their own. I mean, only rich people go on European food & wine tours, let’s be honest. But there’s so much heart and hope in these two characters. Theo is such a bi disaster of confusion and yearning to find their place in the world, which is so relatable. Yes, the entire book is about them being too stubborn to admit they’re still in love with each other. But honestly, isn’t the tension half the pleasure anyway?

Is this book for everyone? No. Am I glad this book exists and that I read it? Yes. Yes, I am.
