Both on the verge of fame. A ballerina who lies. A baseball player who believes her. Well, the truth changes everything.After reading this book I got a feel for the author. She loves to keep you on your toes!!! Holy cow the whole book I’m like waiting for something good to happen to Tally but she makes you wait, wait, wait…. She is a very good writer, this book is complete with every detail and you feel every emotion also. I had so much sympathy for Tally with all she had to go through in her young life she is one the strongest characters I have come across…..Tally is a prima ballerina that lies…… I hate lying I don’t think there is ever a reason- but her character has been through so much I believe she lies at first only to protect herself but then she lies to protect others. She is so strong; she goes through more in this one book than anyone goes through in a lifetime. I was constantly waiting for her to have her happy ending.You can’t really hear heartbreak. It is remarkably silent but excruciating all the same.~ TallyLinc is a baseball player about to sign up with the pros that believes Tally and her lies…. I love his character, he’s a totally smoking hot sweet guy all rolled up into a pair of baseball pants… That should do it for you right there. He has some bad luck also and he thinks it’s all Tally’s fault. She’s bad for him or so he and his agent thought.“She lied to me about everything.”`~ LincWhen they meet for the first time she doesn’t remember but the second meeting was a dozy. She leaves home to pursue her dream of being a ballerina and he’s playing pro baseball. Even though they are miles apart they have chance meetings that always come to a bad ending. Miscommunications, stupid exes always get in the way of their future. There were times I cried, laughed, and pulled my hair out but this story had an incredible ending.“I had to believe- even when it was hopeless, even when it seemed all but impossible and when my world was at its darkest, and I’d begun to fear it might be permanent- that you would come home, Tally”~LincWith all the trials and heartache the only thing you have is the hope that all your struggling to hold onto will prevail in the end; This Much Is True…..This was a great story I loved it… There were a lot of sexual encounters but they weren’t explicit they did it and that was that ;) Also there was $%&@$ language in this if this offends you I like to let you know so you aren’t surprised. If you want a good story that really keeps you on the edge then try this one out. No one can prepare you for emotional rollercoaster that you're about to be taken on. I went in blind, not reading a synoposis to even see if I liked it, I had 1-clicked this one maybe by chance it was on sale for .99... just scrolling thru my kindle looking for something to read, and was captivated by chapter 1."Grief arrives in such unexpected ways and moments. I can't decipher if it's the remembering that is more painful or if the incessant worry of not remember everything about her that might be worse."Bam! Bring out the tissue, cue the WTF am I getting my self into. Tally Landon- they say she is one of a kind, but she's not. She's a identical twin, her sister Holly Landon the one that everyone LOVES, was taken suddenly. Both prima ballerina's with their whole world ahead of them.. suddenly crash's down. One night she lands herself at a college party- she's only 17 why not.. Shes the bad twin, the one that needs the 1 night stands, the one with no commitment, or a cuddle afterwards. "It is sometimes true that a girl can become someone else with the simplest of changes."That's when she meets Lincoln Presley. The up and coming star baseball player at Stanford. She can be someone else. She can be her for one night. What she didn't expect was the repercussions of that one night.Tally Landon lands herself in NYC while Presley lands himself with the Angels to opposite sides of the continent, both have imaginable differences and lovers in-between. Ballet is Tally's dream, while baseball is Lincoln's. Sacrifices that Tally did, takes you to real life scenario, does this 18 year old ballerina do it? Can she sacrifice ballet and her dreams for someone else's? Who is she protecting? Who she is saving herself from? Falling...Failing...Losing...This book takes you on a 4 year span starting when Tally was 17 landing her to 21. The story of these two were nothing more than heartbreaking, intense, more heartbreak, and a little WTF whyyyyy moments! I started this book by chance, and was left with my soul crushed wondering why the heck this didn't turn out to be lifetime story, a freaking HBO showcase- and freaking made to movie deal!I scrolled thru the negative reviews, and I shake my head and wonder not all stories have the insta love HEA story line. This story line was REAL, REAL events, REAL feelings, and guess what I felt every single thing while I read it. Shame on you Katherine for making us have feelings.. BRAVO actually!!!! Star Ballarina, Famous Baseball players- two worlds collide, but can they manage to keep their promises to each other? Will LIES always take over the TRUTH, will both of them be strong enough to forget the past and move to the future. They have to over come so many obsicals to get to that end, that the SUSPENSE is out of this world, nothing I've read before. If your looking for SMUT, this is NOT smut. If your looking for a book that rips your heart out and and slowly repairs it... than this is it for you!!!!
