Review: Great story, but some serious writing errors...
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a beautiful, gut-wrentching story about friendship, love, and loss. Like most of the other reviewers have stated, be prepared to break out the tissues because it is highly emotional! The story pulls you in from page one, and after that it is very hard to put down. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to find out what happens in the sequel.With that said, there were some very serious writing flaws that were extremely distracting and really took away from the quality of this book . The author continuously spells one of the lead male character's name two different ways throughout the book. C'mon!! How can you make a mistake like that?!?! It is a lead character whose name appears on almost every page....get it straight!! First its "Jarrod", then a few pages later its "Jarred", and so on and so on throughout the entire book!!Secondly, there is a scene where a headstone is shown that says Nevaeh and Jarred Levanox.  ???????  Um, where in the book does it say that they were married and her last name was ever Levanox???Also, there are a lot of flashback scenes to the characters' childhoods that start and end out of nowhere. One paragraph will be what Nevaeh is doing in the present and then all of a sudden the next paragraph is talking about something that happened five years ago and it is not until you are halfway through the flashback that you realize it is a flashback. Somewhere in the middle of the book the author starts using italic font for the flashbacks to distinguish them from the present, but it is still just a bad format for inserting flashbacks. Being that there were so many lengthy flashbacks in the book, they should have been separated from the present by being put in their own chapters.If I broke my rating down, I would give Three Hearts One Soul a solid 5 for story, however the errors and inconsistencies in the spelling of Jarrod/Jarred's name is just too much to get past, so it loses an entire star.
