This Much Is Trueby Katherine OwenMelissa Cushing's reviewFeb 13, 20145 of 5 starsRead from February 05 to 06, 2014I am giving this one 5 stars! I LOVED this book! Seriously a roller coaster ride of action when it comes to the two main characters Tally and Linc who I hopelessly adore even though they seriously have their own issues which are the main reason they torture themselves throughout the entire novel to begin with! At the beginning I thought it may end up being a boring read, simply because it seemed things were going so perfectly for Tally and Linc's characters, but I was SO WRONG!It seems one thing after another happens to keep these two "perfect for each other" characters apart. I was more than frustrated a number of times, but was also pulled along by the wonderful storyline, that takes twists and turns that at times I did not see coming. I also love the characters, which you really get a good feel for after reading this book. You really get to know them, even the secondary characters. I loved Rob Thorn and Marla's characters, and I even LOVED To HATE Nika Vostrikova as well as Kimberly Powers characters. Without them... it would be so boring! I want to thank the author for this fabulous novel! It is a long read but a fabulous read. I read this one, even though it is a LONG book, in less than 24 hours! I could not put it down. If you love a tortured romance involving 2 characters that are amazingly talented at "what they do".... Tally an amazingly talented and devoted Ballerina and Linc an amazing Baseball Pitcher....who are so destined to be together but so pulled apart by this or that.... until you just cannot take it anymore.... this book is for you. You will never be bored. Enjoy the synopsis here....Fate brings them together.Fame & lies keep them apart.One truth remains…She’s become the Paly High girl with the most tragic story…At 17, Tally Landon just wants to graduate and leave for New York to pursue ballet. Her best friend Marla convinces her to attend one last party—a college party—where she can be among strangers and evade the whisperings about her heartbreaking loss of her twin that follows her everywhere she goes. She meets Lincoln Presley, Stanford’s famous baseball wonder and has a little fun at his expense—when she lies about her age and who she really is—intent on being someone else for the night and escaping her tragic story.His only focus is baseball, but he can’t forget the girl he saved on Valentine’s Day…At 22, Lincoln Presley’s star is on the rise—about to finish at Stanford and expected to be taken early in Major League Baseball’s upcoming draft—his cousin’s party serves as a welcome distraction. But then, he sees the girl from Valentine’s Day that he saved from that horrific car accident and can’t quite hide his disappointment when she appears to look right through him and not remember him at all. He vows to learn her name at least before he leaves. What’s the harm in getting to know this girl? What’s the worst that can happen?They share this incredible connection, but fate soon tests these star-crossed lovers in all kinds of ways...And yet, despite the lies being told to protect the other, and the trappings of fame that continually separate them, and in lieu of the deception by those they’ve come to trust the most; one truth remains.This much is true.***Author's note*** THIS IS A STAND-ALONE NOVEL.
