Narrative During Books Teardrop (Teardrop #1)
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?Rating Based On Books Teardrop (Teardrop #1)

"They smelled like they always did: Ivory soap and starry nights." (Pg. 20).This quote above was what made me almost stop reading (how does someone smell like a starry night?). I've never thought that Lauren Kate was a brilliant writer--having struggled through all three books of her Fallen series. I persevered, though, and found that I didn't hate this. Not like I had thought I would when I picked it up. Was it good? No, it wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, and many times, I couldROUNDING UP TO 1.5 STARS. *I won Teardrop through a goodreads giveaway.* When i first saw the cover i was a bit like this.... Isn't that one of the most beautiful and breathtaking covers ever?!However, the actual book couldn't be more different. 17 year old Eureka never cries, not even at her own beloved mum's funeral, who died at a freak accident. Eureka was with her in that car when it happened, but the next thing she knows she's laying in the hospital bed. Why did she survive and not
EDITED 06/19/2013: James Dashner has apologized via Twitter. Thank you for all your support, everyone. <3 /editEDITED 06/18/2013: O_o /editThis book is bad. Hence, my review is very long. *thumbs-up*I have included as many quotes as possible to illustrate my points.Characters:Eureka (that name -__-;) is so utterly passive she even remarks on it herself: Trust was mutual, and that was the problem with her and Ander. He held all the cards. Eurekas role in the relationship seemed merely to be

WHY do we still have stalkerish boys?? Why the sexism? Why this whiny and ungrateful protagonist? WHY THE SLUT-SHAMING? *loud clear coughing* Girls, not every girl you meet needs to be degraded just to prove how SPECIAL or whatever you are.Yeah, no. Once upon a time, I read Fallen by Lauren Kate. I was forced to DNF it after I chucked it across the room because of its rampant sexism, Luce's whining and the grossness from the male characters. But I'm not one to give up on an author just because
Let's just say one thing.It is such a good thing that this is fiction. Because if I was Eureka and my tears had the power to drown the earth? Oh gosh, we wouldn't have lasted a day within me being born.And it's also a good thing this book isn't real because I dont think I'd be all that happy with the "fate of the world" resting on the shoulders of a teenaged boy who thinks with his - pardon my french - dick.That's right. I said it.But seriously."The choice was simpler than that:Save the world,
Why oh why must Lauren Kate's books always have such pretty covers? I really should stop judging a book by its cover, but after this one. Just look at that waterfall dress thing and the blue and purple swirly city. So, so mesmerizing. The synopsis sounds rather intriguing, yet also a bit incomprehensible. I just hope this won't be Fallen #2. Please...
Right away the warning bell in my head goes off: "They could do things, these women.""The boy raised his index finger, reached toward her, and caught the tear on his fingertip. Very slowly, as if he held something precious, he carried the salty drop away from her, toward his own face. He pressed it into the corner of his right eye. Then he blinked and it was gone."You might not be crazy about sharing your daddy with someone else, hed said. But a man needs taking care of, and Trentons been alone
