Ben and Tatum have a history that goes back a long time. They met one night at the bar where Tatum was working, but it was awhile before they became more than friends. Since then a lot has happened. They met back when they were both trying to figure things out. They met before they got married and moved to Los Angeles. They met before they were famous. Before Ben became a famous writer and Tatum became a famous actress. Before they had a son. Before one of them won an Oscar. Ben and Tatum have been through a lot together. Over the years they had to deal with the loss of parents, the loss of a sibling, the loss of trust in their marriage. The ebbs and flows of marriage are what defines a marriage, but when both Tatum and Ben have secrets that could destroy their marriage, is there a hope that their marriage can survive?
Between Me and You is the story of Ben and Tatum and their marriage. Ben and Tatum share the narrating duties, but the timeline jumps around pretty significantly and you may get a little lost if you stop reading in the middle of a chapter. Even though things jump around you get the entirety of their story and everything in between. I really liked both Ben and Tatum. The everyday stressors of a marriage can take its toll on a marriage, but when both spouses live in the fishbowl of Hollywood it magnifies those issues. I *hated* the thing that really caused a rift in their marriage, mostly because I didn't want to dislike either of them. One of the things that really humanized both of them was their devotion to their dog, Monster. It was something that I could relate to in a very real manner. In the end, things worked out just the way they were supposed to and it was a good ending.
Bottom Line - Marriage is tough and it is Between Me and You is an honest and intimate look at a one couple's marriage.
