Tally is a beautiful and talented ballerina, until one day her world is shattered. Saved by Lincoln, but not remembering her savior, Tally runs into Lincoln at one last party before her journey to New York. This is not your typical New Adult Romance. Every character has been affected by loss, and they are all connected in some way.The pain and loss that Tally experiences in this book is insurmountable. There are a lot of factors that keep Tally and Lincoln apart for most of the book. This book definitely has enough drama and angst to fill a soap opera for a year. Tally is constantly running away from her issues, instead of facing them. This book takes place over a 3 year period, and there are many obstacles in both Tally and Lincoln's life that keep them apart.I had to keep in mind the events Tally went through in order to understand her thought process. I understand her thoughts behind her actions, but it was still hard to not get frustrated with some of her decisions. The writing flowed really well, and at times the book felt really long; however, I have to give Katherine Owen a lot of respect for not breaking up the book into a series, which she could have easily done. This Much Is True is about tragedy, loss, and ultimately the love that ties everyone together.
