Hi Strawberry,

The adverb has to qualify a verb and you could say: things you truly don't want but here you need the noun in all honesty because that expression isn't qualifying the verb want. It's a separate phrase and means: in every type of honesty (noun) you can imagine.

You need a noun in this sentence. Truly is an adverb not a noun.
