A review by thereadingbel
Everything Between Us by Harper Bliss

5.0

Caitlyn a 50 year old feminist book author, who fervently dislikes monogamy. She thinks the sex gets boring after awhile, she desires and wants open relationships. Despite being an academic, she’s very rich, as well as gorgeous. Best friend since college days with Pink Bean co-owner Sheryl.

Josephine is a 28 year old PhD candidate who TAs for Sheryl, and also works for her at the Pink Bean. Josephine’s thesis is on Body Positivity, but she has a very negative view of her own body. She talks about her self-image at every opportunity. Yes, she is a big girl, but I can’t tell if Harper wants us to dislike Josephine at her self-loathing about her size, or to accept her despite her size.

The story is essentially that sex-focused Caitlin really wants Josephine, and Josephine can’t understand why. Caitlin is not the type to go for personality, and an open-sex relationship doesn’t sound like the basis for anything good for Josephine, with all of her insecurities.

This story feels like my own life I am Josephine and my wife is Caitlyn she desires me and I self-loath. I know why she loves me but when people see us we are the odd couple. My wife says she does not like skinny girls because they are to thin she likes bigger women. This is the story of my life.
