The Pairing

 The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, 432 pages.

When Theo and Kit messily break up on the transatlantic to a three week European food and wine tour it seems to finally be a definitive end to a lifelong relationship. Four years later, right as the voucher they both received to reschedule the trip is about to expire, both decide, completely independently, to use it before it's gone. Now they're trapped together for three weeks being crushed under the weight of everything that came before. But they've both moved on, their completely over each other. To prove how completely over each other they are, they decide to have a European hook-up competition. This is a romance novel, and that ends pretty much as expected for these two messy bisexual exes. 
Casey McQuiston is perhaps one of my most trusted romance authors at this point. This book is delightful and funny, while also having a strong heart at the center that turns the whole thing into something better. I really loved all of these characters, and the food descriptors are enough to make my mouth water. An ideal summer read, I would definitely recommend it.
