Review: Not a light hearted read

Let me start off by saying this book, at times, was difficult for me to get through. By chapter 16 I realized that I was only a little over 30% in and still had over three hours left, at this point I felt like I had read an entire book already. There was a LOT going on in this story, some felt unnecessary, and at times repetitive. I kept thinking in my head please let this end, because right now I'm not sure I even care what happens any more, but I stuck it out, and I'm glad. This Much Is True left me feeling emotionally exhausted, and I'm not really sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The back and forth between the two main characters, Tally and Linc was tiring, and eventually I just got fed up and wished they would both either move on for real or get over themselves and work it out. They both treated each other badly, and flaunted relationships with others to upset each other, it got frustrating. It took an extremely long time for these two  to grow up and evolve into better people. At the end I had to let out a huge sigh, not because I hated it necessarily, but for the fact that it was finally over for the poor characters. I got the HEA I wanted, but it took a long, emotional way to get there. I would recommend this book to friends who enjoy an emotional read, this book is no lazy Sunday afternoon type of read.On a side note, I read that the author explains the length of the book, starting she isn't a fan of series, and Hates cliffhangers. For that, I give her much respect, and many thanks! Now I'm off to read something fluffy to get over my book hangover.I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
