I very much enjoyed this writers writing style. Though the story is told over a short period of time, I could have done with at least another 75 pages of story. Everything happened so quickly that it felt left. The explanation for Easton being the way he is happens so quickly and then the book ends. I feel like the author should have beefed up exploring his background more. I do think this was a cute love story with an interesting sci-fi twist. I look forward to reading more from this author.

The Tethered Soul of Easton Green is a sweet romantic story about endless love and destiny. It was a quick read that made me tear up at some points. With that being said, I believe this book should be marketed to a young adult audience due to the juvenile writing. The believability of the illness was missing and the romance needed a slower pace in order to build passion and love between the characters. The sci-fi element needed to be developed further because it was randomly revealed without answering the important questions such as how does someone become a tethered soul? Why does it happen?

Overall I think this story has good potential but the sci-fi dial needs to be turned up, questions need to be answered thoughtfully, and the writing needs some sophistication.

I loved this book and I didn't at the same time.

The good:
I was sucked into the story and read the entire book. I could picture the characters, and really liked them all. It was a sad but sweet romance, and it was easy reading. There were a few parts I literally laughed out loud, and I might have even produced a few tears.

The bad:
The relationship felt almost forced, an it was almost too sweet. And the ending - I mean really?

I want to thank the author, the publisher and #netgalley for the ARC - this did not impact my review.

I thought the premise of this story was cute, but the actual book didn't quite meet my expectations. I found Beck's character frustrating at times and Easton just seemed a little too perfect. There were some really sweet moments between the two of them, but most of the characters seemed underdeveloped and I was never really worried about her death because it seemed like such an intangible concept in the story. The ending was really bittersweet and there were definitely times I teared up a bit, but overall the writing felt a bit juvenile at times, and sometimes the jokes in the book seemed kind of inadvertently mean. The romance was really lovely, but this book just wasn't my cup of tea.
