TELL ME SOMETHING TRUE
The star ballerina finally marries the major league baseball player and the truth about Linc and Tally—his being her air and she being his water—becomes clear after the couple finally realize that their love is all that matters.
But that was the first day. The day they said, “I do.” The day the demons seemed to leave them alone, at least, for a little while.
Nevertheless, there were other days, when all the lies of the past and their ways of coping with their fears caught up to them.
And, this is that story.
“If you believe in fairy tales and happy endings,
and you want to stop right here and bask in the wonderment and joy of it all, please do.
If you want to know the rest of our story,
you need to take a deep breath
and tell yourself that everything will be okay,
that everything works out,
and life happens,
and in the end
love is all you need.
Someone has to tell you these things,
just like someone had to tell me.
All I know is that the truth never dies,
and it does set you free, whether you want it to or not.
And in the end? All you have is love.
Love is all there is.”
~ Talia Landon Presley
Man, I really needed to read this book right now. For whatever reason, I never got around to reading it, even though I loved the first two books in the series. It was definitely an emotional roller-coaster, with things being great for Tally and Linc for a while. Until things weren’t okay. We are talking about Tally and Linc, after all.
I’m not going into spoilers, but there was one particular moment I didn’t see coming. It was so unexpected, and how much more can two people go through? They did make it through, of course, and I’m glad their got their HEA.
Things are never easy for them, and their relationship was really put to the test in this book. In ways that we didn’t see in the previous two books. Everything they’ve done- every lie they’ve told, every secret they’ve kept really caught up with them, and there was a point where I thought they wouldn’t make it.
My opinion of Linc really changed in this book. Yes, both he and Tally have issues, and in particular, Tally has a lot of things to work through, but it doesn’t mean that the things Linc did are okay. He has his own issues he needs to work on, and even though he blames Tally for a lot of things, I think he’s equally to blame. It does seem like they’re off to a fresh start, though, at the end of the book, so it seems like they managed to work things out just enough that they seem okay.
Tally and Linc are one of those couples who go through a lot and either don’t make it as a couple…or they do. I’m glad they do, but they’ve had a rocky past that they haven’t completely dealt with. Part of me was the tiniest bit frustrated that they had to go through so much, and that they still did the same thing of not communicating and spending time with people they shouldn’t, and jumping to conclusions. But at the same time, they did realize that they had a lot of things that they needed to work on, and that they needed to make themselves better. My heart broke for them, especially Tally.
I loved the playlist included at the end of the book, which seemed really fitting because each chapter title was a song title. I don’t know a lot of the songs, but the ones I do know really fit, especially for the chapters they were the title for. And each chapter had a poem at the beginning, which I also really liked because somehow, they seemed to fit each chapter. While I don’t normally go for poetry, I liked the ones in the book enough to check out the person who wrote them.
5 stars. I loved this book, and even though it was an emotional roller-coaster that had me sobbing by the end of it, it was worth seeing how things turned out for Linc and Tally.
