The Pairing is the perfect summer romance and has got me desperately wanting to explore Europe.
Theo and Kit’s culinary adventure was a wild ride and I had so much fun following them on their journey.
The narration is split between the POV of both main characters and I loved how clear each of their personalities were. I particularly liked Kit’s poeticism after Theo’s sass and humour.
I liked how the change in POV, along with flashbacks throughout, showed the characters growth across their entire relationship and what really stuck with me is how much they grew in their time apart.
I find the miscommunication trope infuriating and yet find myself constantly drawn to books that use it. The miscommunication in this had me wanting to throw my kindle and scream at them to just talk to each other. I must say though that the miscommunication surrounding the initial break up was a new spin on the trope for me and I liked it.
I didn’t think McQuiston could top RWRB but the more I think about it, the more I am realising I was mistaken.
Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
