Tally Landon & Lincoln Presley have a connection, it's not a nice connection but they do. Problem is Tally doesn't remember it, and Linc is too scared to tell her how it came about.This Much Is True is a heavy, heartbreaking, unforgiving, completely brutal, and sometimes uncomfortable to read in places book. It's about coping with loss, dealing with grief, love, peer pressure and the general pitfalls of life in and out of the public eye.I actually read this book a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to give myself time to digest it fully before writing my review. I won't lie I was a blubbering wreck at points, and from the get-go chapter one grabs you by the throat and it just does not let go.I loved that the book is told from both POV's, I must admit at times I did find Tally to be a total cow, but I suppose when you have gone through the cluster-f**k she has it's inevitable you're going to have a whole ream of issues, especially when those around you are ignoring it as well.So follows the next 3 years, where they literally break each other's hearts time and time again, making decisions that keep them apart, whilst trying to keep everyone else happy. At points I just wanted to scream at Linc to grow a pair, but I think the length of the book exacerbates it somewhat as it is pretty long, and a lot of stuff happens (spoiler free, so I'm not telling).If you want something that's going to pull you in, mix you up, wring you out and then spit you out at the end, then I recommend this book, its definitely not rainbows and fairies that's for sure!ARC provided by Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review.
