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.

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!

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.

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.

I can confirm that most of the largest libraries in the US are free for public access. The Library of Congress, for instance, is open to everyone, though some specialized collections might require a reader card. Local public libraries like the New York Public Library or the Los Angeles Public Library also offer free access to their vast collections, including books, digital resources, and even events. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone looking to dive into research or just enjoy a good book without spending a dime. The only exceptions might be certain rare archives or private collections housed within these libraries, but generally, the bulk of their materials are freely available to all.

I love the whole ecosystem of library apps, but man, the licensing models publishers use for libraries are brutal. A library has to repurchase popular ebooks after a certain number of lends, which is why they have to limit copies. It's not the library being stingy; it's a weird, expensive system. So when you borrow a hot title, you're helping justify the library's expense. Kind of a satisfying thought, in a way.

Book outlets on campus during events like Health Fairs or Awareness Weeks sometimes give out free books related to their theme. Given the subject matter of 'It Ends With Us,' it might appear at an event focused on healthy relationships or domestic violence awareness. Campus organizations partnering with community groups often distribute relevant literature.
It's not a reading program, but a form of outreach. Attending those events could net you a free physical copy while also connecting you with important resources and discussions on campus.

Ooh, I just remembered something! Some libraries have 'Book Club Kits' that include multiple ebook copies and discussion guides. If you're part of a formal or informal book club, ask your library if they have a kit for 'It Ends With Us.' This could allow your whole group to borrow it simultaneously without waitlists. These kits are a special set of licenses reserved for group use. It's a fantastic resource that not enough people know about. You might need to reserve it in advance for a specific month. It turns the library into your book club's best friend.

Can we talk about the cover design for a second? The original cover, the new one... they're so evocative. Seeing that little blue flower on the stark background on the Libby thumbnail always catches my eye. It's funny how a cover can become so iconic you recognize it instantly even on a small phone screen in a digital library. Makes scrolling through holds feel like a mini art gallery of anticipated emotions.
