We can't use Riveted Teen. We can use the publisher Simon & Schuster, if you can find a link.The kindle edition is only 37 pages, showing on amazon as that as well.
Ebooks are notoriously difficult to pin down for page numbers as different devices show different page counts. So we use the publisher or PDF editions. Your screenshot wasn't showing a PDF edition.
I checked Simon & Schuster and they only have her 2 full novels - the book I was asking about is just a short story. Since they do 2 pages per the 1 page (the whole double column thing like you can do in Kindle) - I wonder if they are counting 2 pages as 1 page? Because 47 x 2 = 96, so not much difference between what Amazon and the GR link is stating, and what is showing at Riveted ... ??Thanks for trying, I appreciate it.
By the way, is there any particular reason(s) why Riveted can't be used as a verification source? Just curious.
Oddly - found this (not sure if you can use Penguin Books, which is - I believe? - a sister part of S&S):https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/312/3...
It shows as an ebook, with 96 pages.
Even though Riveted is run by Simon & Schuster, you can't view the information about the book unless you create an account and log in. The edition that you linked to on Penguin was not on Goodreads yet, so I have added it here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
If you want to switch to this edition on your Goodreads shelf, that would show the correct page count, even if it isn't the same cover.

Thanks Emily - that's what I ended up doing (switching to the correct page count edition with alternate cover image) - thanks for adding the Penguin edition/version - and thank you for answering my question about S&S/Riveted, much appreciated.

(link is given on the GR link for the book, above)
On GR, it is showing a page count of 47 pages.
At Riveted link, page count is showing 98 pages.
Would it be possible to have this fixed?
Thanks in advance.
