Blurb from Goodreads:
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?

2.5/5

After
her mother was killed in an accident seventeen-year-old Eureka's life loses
meaning.
Until she meets Ander the mysterious boy that seems to follow her
everywhere.
When Eureka receives her part of her mother's will she uncovers the
story of an ancient civilisation, a civilisation that could return if Eureka
does what her mother told her never to do and cries.
The best
thing about Teardrop is the cover.
I can't actually decide if I liked the book
itself.
The storyline was predictable, though easy to follow.
I didn't have any
problems with the characters and I liked the Atlantis theme which didn't
feature as heavily as I thought it would. However the last ten percent was
terrible.
I wanted to bang my head against the wall.
Overall
this was an okay but disappointing book.
I didn't like Teardrop enough to read
the sequel.
