Losing Hope and All Your Perfects are available on Overdrive. Check with your library and see if you have access to this service. If not, get an ecard from Broward County. You do NOT have to be a Broward resident to get a library card. The last four of your phone number will be your pin/password for Overdrive. PM if you have any questions about it... https://catalog.browardlibrary.org/obr/
Thanks for this information! I am currently living out of the US so being able to use different libraries on Overdrive have been a reading life saver for me!
I feel differently about the price of an ebook. I see them as high as $14.99. If it is an unknown (to me) author, I would not pay that price. But a CoHO book I know I am going to love and re-read?? I would pay that price. I think of her time and dedication to the craft, and how much she does with the money she earns, and I do not second guess this price. Thankfully libraries have it for free,
I agree with Tina. You can go to libraries, but more importantly, none of us should be complaining to an author about pricing. They put their blood, sweat, and tears into their books - these books are a product of their hard work. Do you go to a car maker and tell them that you really want to drive a Mercedes, but because you think they're too expensive, you'll drive a Ford instead? And you're saying that just to see if you can get a cheaper price? Actually very much the same thing. These books are a product that the author has produced. I will never cheapen the book, or myself, by complaining about price. If I enjoy the author, I buy the book.
Sign up for the local library and download overdrive app. I rent audio books from my library all the time if you can’t support buying one due to costs. Or if they don’t have it audio I am sure they should have it to borrow hardcopy.
Our library has most of them. Check yours out.
