"You can't really hear heartbreak.  It is remarkably silent but excruciating all the same."2 words can sum this up for me.  Blown.Away.  This much is true.Right from the start, this book dives in.  There's so much grief, emotion, tragedy, hurt, unrequited love.  This book makes you FEEL.  It makes you want to hug your kindle, throw your kindle and at times maybe just get up and take a minute.We meet Tally Landon, blunt, beautiful, up and coming ballet star - I just loved her from the start.  We meet her right away through tragedy involving a car accident and loss.  Deep loss."I might add - just know that telling me that Holly lives on in our hearts doesn't resonate as true with me because, in my heart, I can't feel anything.  There's nothing there.  It's empty.  I'm empty."We meet Lincoln Presley, understated, handsome up and coming baseball star who saves Tally the night of the accident.For him, it's instant love.  He searches 3 hospitals to find her, he's unable to see her because he is not family.  She's the girl he can't get off his mind, the one that got away.  For Tally, there's no recollection of him.After the loss, Tally's family crumbles including her.  She walks through life numbly, graduating high school, still intent on being the best at ballet that she could ever be.By some twist of fate, Tally and Linc meet up at a party right after graduation.  There's an immediate attraction (though she doesn't know who he is and he doesn't tell her that he knows her and has been desperate to find her).  They share a night full of passion, lust, and tons of chemistry, they have a lot in common but Tally immediatly starts them off on a lie.  And then one lie becomes two, then three and so on...Now, I've read books where you go through it and you are like come on already, how much can one person go through.  But never and I mean NEVER did that happen with me even once with this book.  I felt like the author did a phenomenal job with the timeline and plot.  I never once felt like it was too far fetched.  These things do happen in real life and I for one believe in fate.To sum up the book as I feel this is just too good of a book to give away spoilers, Tally's lies, become so big it's hard to find a way out of them, and then there's Linc's lies.  How will they ever find a way to each other when they are unable to untangle the web of lies and when there are so many involved who could get hurt?  Can love conquer all?Read this book.  You will not be disappointed.  This much is true.
