Rachel Rawlings | 6 comments Rebecca HamiltonPlease make the current edition of The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton the main edition that shows up in a GoodReads search. At last search the old cover and blurb came up as the primary result. I'm trying to combine any and all versions and have the revised show first.
Amazon link showing correct cover and info - https://www.amazon.com/Forever-Girl-B...

Thank you in advance for your time and help correcting this!

lethe | 16368 comments Librarians cannot set the default edition, only Goodreads Authors can (which Rebecca Hamilton is not).

Also, TPTB changed the search so that the most popular edition shows up regardless of whether it was set as the default:
2) [NOT A BUG] Primary editions not reflecting in search. We recently released a change on Goodreads whereby the primary edition of a book will no longer reflect in search. Please note that this is not a bug. Instead, this section now populates based on a number of other factors, which aim to surface the most popular edition to our members – also likely the book page they're looking to find. The primary edition will still be the only cover version that shows to any members visiting an author page. (https://help.goodreads.com/s/announce...)
If you want to know the reasoning behind this, you will have to contact them.
