About this deal

It's a whole will they - won't they sort a book, but it also covers whether Otty's family will ever accept her new career move, let alone the fact she clearly doesn't want to be with the man that the family had been rooting for her to marry since childhood. Kate's best friend Reagan was hilarious and so loyal to Kate. I thought Reagan was a great side character and an even better friend. I really liked that the author focused on the strong friendship between the two girls. The group of boys in this book were very intriguing and mysterious. I couldn't help but want to get into their heads just like Kate did. One boy also happened to be very swoon-worthy, but I don't want to spoil anything with that. All I will say is that the romance that was in this book was unexpected but so perfect and sweet. It was a great addition to this story. I loved that their careers were TV scriptwriting because honestly that isn’t one I’ve read about before and it was incredibly eye opening and fascinating! I completely immersed myself in the process and the characters involved in the writing room. Beş arkadaş. Aralarından su sızmayan, çocukluktan beri bir arada olan beş arkadaş. Her hafta River Burnu'nda uyuşturucunun, içkinin, eğlencenin dibine vurdukları partiler veriyorlar. Her hafta hep beraber River Burnu'nda ava çıkıyorlar. Ve bir hafta sonu her şey tepetaklak oluyor. Yine çılgın bir parti veriliyor ve ertesi gün bütün o sarhoşluğa ve olanlara rağmen beş oğlan ava çıkıyor. İçlerinden birisi av sırasında öldürülüyor. Grant'i vuran silahta hepsinin parmak izi var ve kimse onu öldürenin kendisi olduğunu kabul etmiyor. Bu oğlanlar zengin ailelerin çocukları olduğu için bu olay sansasyonel bir hal alıyor. Dava ile ilgili ilginç şeyler dönerken Başsavcılıkta çalışan Kate, Grant'i kimin öldürdüğünü bulmak için elinden geleni yapıyor ve bizde kitabı Kate'in ağzından okuyoruz.

It was interesting how most every chapter from Kate’s perspective began with a brief text message exchange providing insight to the timeline. I also enjoyed how every other chapter was either from the killer’s POV or was an interrogation transcript. It’s impossible to guess who the killer is based on the perspective, though. Honestly, I could go on and on about this book. The bottom line is: YOU NEED TO GET THIS BOOK ASAP AND READ IT. I will warn you that you need to have an entire free night to read This Is Our Story because I guarantee you will not be able to put it down. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite books of the year. READ IT, PLEASE BECAUSE I AM STILL NOT OVER THIS BOOK AND I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT. This is Our Story starts off with an eerily mysterious narrator describing the scene unfold in front of him. Though he speaks in riddles and has the most ambiguous descriptions, the scene at Point River is chilling to read. Under the suspicion of murder, the remaining boys are forced to leave their cushy prep school and head off to the local public school!

Customer reviews

The characters in this novel are just all so wonderfully complicated. Their friendships run deep and their loyalties run deeper still. It was kind of heart-breaking to watch it all crumble, but also immensely fascinating. With Malice and Dangerous Girls do a magnificent job of attaching history to their characters. Their friendships are rich and layered, full of inside jokes and shared experiences. This Is Our Story is mainly told from Kate's perspective and she doesn't provide the same depth we would have gotten from a River Point boy. We do get chapters narrated by the murderer, but they're largely superfluous and deliberately devoid of personal detail so we don't know who it is. It might be worth noting that Ashley is one of my friends, so there was that extra pressure that comes with reading a friend's book: you know the author, so you feel like you have to like the book. There's almost so much forcing you to like the book that you can't. So let me tell you about my reading experience with This Is Our Story. I read it in one sitting, starting it at 8:38 p.m. and finishing it five hours later at 1:43 a.m. (Wow, Rachel, way to be specific.) Those two things rarely happen: me reading a book in one sitting, and me reading a book so fast. I'll be honest: I devoured it. That's because this book was that good. Everything it has going for it? Goes for it.

Our Story by Reginald Kray, Ronald Kray | Waterstones

I lean forward and the other three do the same. Hovering over poor, dead Grant, I say, "Okay, this is our story."Plot Summary: I began describing the plot above but I’ll reiterate it here. This is Our Story follows a girl named Kate who works as an intern for her local DA. She becomes involved in a case surrounding her new classmates who’ve been transferred out of their private school after a tragic event. The five River Point boys, all from the town’s wealthiest families, are longtime best friends who are known for their wild parties. One morning after an out of control event of theirs, the boys head into the woods to hunt, only one of them doesn’t make it out alive and none of the surviving boys are talking. As Kate delves deeper into the case, she begins to uncover secrets and truths she never expected to find. And as she begins to close in on Grant’s killer, her life and the lives of others are suddenly at risk. I have to say that I really wasn’t sure how Our Story was going to end (and won’t put any spoilers here) but the last quarter of the book had me hooked, and I finished it in tears. Bir de tabii esas oğlanımız, ağzından bal damlayan Shep vardı. Hakkında çok fazla bir şey yazamasam da -spoiler olmasın- katil olup olmamasını hiç umursamadım ve kendisini çok sevdim. En kötü anlarında bile içindeki sevgiye sarılmasına, ne kadar sinirli ya da üzgün olursa olsun Kate’e şefkatle, sevgiyle yaklaşmasına bayıldım. It did take me a little while to find myself immersed in this love story which I thought didn’t really take off until the arrival of Fraser, the cat set amongst the pigeons. Also there is a huge emphasis on the script writing process which I think is to the detriment of exploring Otty and Joe’s romance. Being holed up in a room for hours on end, hoping for the creative juices to flow sounds like jolly hard work and I think the author has managed to convey all the highs and lows and tedium of this world in fine detail. I could visualise the script writing team bouncing off the walls with the amount of coffee they all drink!!
