This Is Our Story by Ashley Elston

Image result for this is our storyEveryone's heard the saying, "Never judge a book by its cover." But I just have to say that the cover of this book is spot on. This book is good through and through - starting with the excellent cover design and the very first page, all the way to the last words.
Just reading the title, I assumed that the book was some sort of love story. But the unique cover had me intrigued, so I picked it up - and am I glad I did. There is some romance in this novel, but this book is really about the death of a boy named Grant Perkins. Or was it murder? No one knows, because the only four witnesses of Grant's death are his four best friends.
One of them shot Grant.
And none of them are talking.
They are called the River Point Boys.
Kate Marino has an internship at the district attorney's office, and when the River Point case is handed to her boss, she gets caught up in trying to find out who pulled the trigger.
This Is Our Story is told mainly from Kate's view, but there are also some snippets from the POV of the killer as well as some manuscripts of interviews and a few texts from the past, which have you trying to piece the puzzle together yourself.
I will tell you that there are major twists in this book and loose threads, but they are all tied up in the end. Every little detail matters.
      What made this book even more enjoyable was the enormous amount of research Elston did to make it as realistic as possible. When you think that this story could have actually happened, that just makes you love it even more.
      This is most definitely another one of my favorites.
