what does "cracked up"mean? “It’s the first thing that came to my mind. I don’t know why. I’ll go first. The night of my senior prom. It’s a cliché for a reason. I thought it was forever, and I. It was two and a half months, six if you count pre-sex. . . . Eli?” “Right here. Who dumped whom?” “We just drifted apart, which is unsatisfying. We should’ve had some drama, some deception and fury.” “Not all it’s cracked up to be.” His voice echoed eerily, making Abra turn to ujjayi breathing as she skimmed her flashlight around the area. She heard a kind of thump, a curse. “Eli?” “Damn it, what’s that doing here?” “Don’t be funny.” “I just rapped my damn shin on a damn wheelbarrow because it’s sitting in the middle of the damn floor. And . . .” “Are you hurt? Eli . . .” “Come back here, Abra.” “I don’t wanna.” “There’s no spiders. I need you to see this.”2. what does "turn to ujjayi breathing"mean?

"Not all it's cracked up to be" - it's not as it could be or not as it seems.

The phrase is "not all it's cracked up to be". http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/be+all+it's+cracked+up+to+be (By itself,"cracked up" can mean someone began laughing or crying. Context is important.) By looking up "ujjayi", you would find this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ujjayi_breath
