New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston discusses her upcoming book The Pairing in an Ocean County Library virtual talk on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 7 p.m.
The Pairing follows Theo and Kit, two bisexual exes who, when they accidentally book the same European food and wine tour, challenge each other to a hookup competition to prove they’re over each other – except they’re definitely not. However, sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can’t have.
McQuiston has other best-selling romantic comedies to her credit.
