My campus bookstore rents textbooks... and sometimes popular novels. It was in a spinner rack near the checkout. The rental was like five bucks for the semester. Not free, but cheaper than buying. It was considered 'course-adjacent' reading. Might be worth a stroll through the bookstore to see if they have a rental fiction section. You might get lucky and find it there, especially at the start of a semester when they stock up.

Libraries are an amazing resource for ebooks and audiobooks these days! Check if your local library uses apps like Libby or Hoopla. You just need a library card, which is usually free to get if you live in the area. Search for 'It Ends With Us' on the app, and you can borrow it just like a physical book. Waitlists for popular titles can be long, but you can place a hold and get notified. It's a completely legitimate and free way to read Colleen Hoover's books.
Some libraries also offer digital access through their own websites, so it's worth exploring their online portal.

Look for 'digital reading apps' on your school's website. There's often a page called 'Student Resources' or 'Online Library' with a list. Common ones are Sora, OverDrive, TumbleBookLibrary, or even a direct link to the district's Follett Destiny catalog. If you see those, you're in luck.

A friend mentioned that some digital libraries have a 'lucky day' or 'skip the line' feature for popular ebooks. It's not guaranteed, but if you check Libby frequently, you might snag an immediately available copy of 'It Ends With Us' that doesn't require a hold. It's like a digital flash sale. This works better for larger library consortia with bigger collections. Patience and constant checking are key strategies here.

The economics are fascinating. A district might pay $40 for a hardcover that lasts 5 years, or $25 for a digital license that might last 2 years or 52 checkouts, whichever comes first. Which is the better deal? It depends on circulation.
For a book like 'The Hunger Games' with constant demand, the digital license might 'wear out' faster. The school might need to repurchase it more often than they'd replace a physical copy. So, offering free digital access isn't necessarily cheaper in the long run, which affects how many licenses they buy.

Why pay for a Kindle Unlimited subscription when this exists? I see so many Colleen Hoover books on KU, but library apps have them all for true zero cost. The only investment is the time to get a library card and set up the app. It's a no-brainer for voracious readers.

My library didn't have it, so I asked about an inter-library loan for the ebook. Apparently, that's not really a thing for digital items in most systems due to licensing. You're stuck with what your specific library or consortium has purchased. It's a limitation of the digital lending world.
I ended up using a friend's library card from a bigger city. Moral of the story: cultivate friends with good library systems!

Compare it to a book like 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Every school has that audiobook. 'In Cold Blood' is in the next tier—widely owned but not automatically in every single bundle. It's a title a librarian might have to consciously add. So, maybe 70% chance if the school has a digital collection? That's my gut estimate.
Public library: 99.9% chance. School library: probable, but not guaranteed. The difference is the curation focus.

I love the environmental aspect. Zero shipping, zero production waste for a physical book. Just pure data. It feels like the most sustainable way to read, aside from borrowing a physical copy from a friend, which is also great.
