The new queer romantic comedy from bestselling author Casey McQuiston.
Theo and Kit. They have been many things: childhood friends, a couple, and now estranged exes. After a painful breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream vacation (for a little wine and food tasting in Europe), their paths split.
The time they spent apart did them good. Theo: works as a bartender at night, tries to become a sommelier in the morning, and has a large number of casual partners. Kit: never returned to America, graduated from pastry school sexier than ever, and now works at one of the best restaurants in Paris.
Four years after the breakup, it seems like a good idea to finally take that trip. Separately. Only when they get on the bus do they discover they had exactly the same idea, and now they are forced to spend three weeks together in the most romantic cities of France, Spain, and Italy. All good. There is nothing between them. So much so that they bet on who will be the first to sleep with their super sexy tour guide. And why stop there? Why not have the ultimate European flirting competition?
The two bisexual exes will try everything until they realize that many times we desire exactly what we don't have.
If you like contemporary romantic comedies with subversive humor, dynamic characters, and stories about finding oneself and the LGBTQ+ community.
"Unbelievable, isn't it?" says Jane, letting out a sound that resembles satisfaction. "Hard to believe that eighty-eight whole years have passed, right?" August bends down and kisses her gently. The dust in the library looks like beer foam as it slowly falls in the sunlight, and the feeling of Jane's hand in hers is a small, warm discord. It’s not the hand August thought she would hold when she started searching for her home in the city, but it’s the hand she found. And August tightens her own.
Eighty-eight years had passed. And no one was supposed to remember them.
August remembers everything. She remembers sitting in the library basement on her first night in New York, waiting for the M train, not knowing where on earth to go. She remembers the unknown apartment in Brooklyn, the unknown roommates, the unknown couch. She remembers the sun of her summer job, the smells from the diner’s frying pans. She remembers Jane when she appeared, on the same train, at the same time, every day. She remembers the moment when the hours she spent on the train became the truest hours of her day. Just as she remembers the moment Jane got off the train and August was left behind. And she remembers the morning everything changed. The morning the truth became clear. Jane was not an ordinary person. She was a girl who had lost her time. She was stuck, unable to go back or move forward.
August was in her early twenties, dull, lonely, cynical—or at least trying to be. Jane was a twenty-something from the 70s, with the heart of an explorer and the naivety of an era that no longer existed. The two of them were an unlikely pair, and yet they fit. Two souls stuck in time, for different reasons."
