SUMMARY:Essex Library: Virtual Author Talk with Casey McQuiston
DESCRIPTION:Bring an appetite for sizzling drama as we discuss New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston’s latest romantic comedy\, The Pairing. Register HERE.\nThis program is FREE and open to the public. \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. 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. \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? But sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can’t have. Register now to join our discussion about Casey McQuiston’s spiciest book yet! \nAbout the Author: Casey McQuiston is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of romantic comedies\, including One Last Stop\, Red\, White & Royal Blue\, I Kissed Shara Wheeler\, and The Pairing. Red\, White & Royal Blue was adapted into a movie in 2023 and released on Amazon Prime. Casey was recently named on the 2022 Time100 Next List. Their writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and Bon Appetit. Born and raised in southern Louisiana\, Casey now lives in New York City with a poodle mix named Pepper.
