Publisher's Summary:
Never, ever cry.... Seventeen-year-old Eureka won't let anyone close enough to feel her pain. After her mother was killed in a freak accident, the things she used to love hold no meaning. She wants to escape, but one thing holds her back: Ander, the boy who is everywhere she goes, whose turquoise eyes are like the ocean. And then Eureka uncovers an ancient tale of romance and heartbreak, about a girl who cried an entire continent into the sea. Suddenly her mother's death and Ander's appearance seem connected, and her life takes on dark undercurrents that don't make sense. Can everything you love be washed away?

BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BOOK. LIKE SRSLY.
I own the new cover. The original cover was ok, but it appeared that she would never get out of her fallen cover look. "Girl In A Pretty Dress With A Pretty Background". Then she changed it and I love it! (You may argue it is just another pretty, cut-off girl face, but when you receive it and take the time to look its got a lot more detail than that) The entire cover has a low temperature, with blues coming in everywhere. The title is slightly translucent, so you can see strands of hair in it. The title page features dripping water-glass, and at the beginning of every chapter is a fitting teardrop.
VERY PRETTY.
I liked this book. Didn't love it or hate it. And I was lacking in the apathy that I tend to feel towards 3-star books. The author did a good job. I was compelled to keep reading. This book is an airy one, though. No real deepness happening anywhere. Unfortunately even the characters fell a little flat. But, overall, the story was good, the characters satisfying, and the writing nice, like a calming light breeze in the midst of a hurricane.
I will say however that if you have a long list of books to catch up on this one may not be your first choice. It is a great choice though if you've just gotten off a very emotional book and you need SOMETHING to cool you down. Like if you just read We Were Liars, or The Fault in Our Stars, or Before I Fall.
****SPOILERS BELOW SO LEAVE NOW MY LITTLE PIXIES WHO ACTUALLY CARE-----OTHERWISE WELCOME TO THE REALM OF THE TRUTH******
I did like this book. Mostly because it was entertaining, something to do. You should read it sometime. But below I'm gonna get into the things that really bugged me.
Eureka. Eureka. EUREKA. This is a personal annoyance, but it appears a few others share it, so I'm gonna mention it. The main character's name is annoying. Because this book is in the third-person point of view, (which I have no problem with) I had to read that name a lot. And after a while, it got annoying. As in, my brain stopped wanting to pronounce it half the time, and each time I read it it started sounding less and less like a word. As one reviewer points out, "I HAVE FOUND IT!" resonates within every page.
The author describes things. As authors are supposed to do. Yet, I found myself skipping these descriptions quite frequently, not because they were long or anything, I just felt like there was nothing drawing me in to read them. I look back and only now realize why- there is not nearly enough figurative language or interesting words in this book. There was figurative language, but it was small and boring, and used in so many other books it cannot be called unique. This was like this.
