In this romantic comedy by Casey McQuiston, two bisexual exes, Theo and Kit, inadvertently sign up for the same European food and wine tour, prompting a competition to prove they're over each other—though they clearly aren't. Once childhood best friends and lovers, their relationship ended abruptly during a transatlantic flight to their dream trip. Time apart has allowed them to grow: Theo has become a confident bartender and aspiring sommelier, while Kit, who stayed in Europe, has excelled in pastry school and now bakes in a top Paris restaurant. Despite their successes, they both feel a lingering emptiness from their past together. With an unused tour voucher about to expire, they decide to embark on the trip separately, only to find themselves on the same bus, facing eighteen days filled with breathtaking scenery and culinary delights across France, Spain, and Italy. Convinced there's nothing left between them, Theo proposes a light-hearted wager to see who can seduce their attractive Italian tour guide first, leading to a full-on hookup competition. However, as they navigate the tour, they realize that sampling everything only intensifies their longing for what they once shared.
