Is the library's physical copy an option? I know the question specifies 'ebook version to borrow,' but if the digital wait is insane, the physical book might be on the shelf. Some people don't consider that because they want the convenience of an ebook, but if you're desperate to read it now, walking into the branch could work. Then you can place the ebook hold and read it at your leisure later for a potential re-read.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Different countries have different licensing deals. In some regions, the ebook might be priced significantly lower, but 'free' is still unlikely. If you have a friend abroad, ask them to check their local Amazon or Kobo store for price comparisons.

I recently borrowed 'It Ends With Us' on Kindle Unlimited, and it was super easy. All I did was open the Kindle app on my phone, searched for the book title, and clicked the 'Read for Free' button since I’m already a KU subscriber. If you don’t have a subscription, you’ll need to sign up first—it’s like $9.99 a month, but totally worth it if you read a lot. Once borrowed, the book showed up in my library, and I could start reading right away. The best part? No due dates or late fees—just unlimited reading as long as it’s in the KU catalog.
Pro tip: If the book isn’t showing up as free, double-check your subscription status or try searching directly from the Kindle Unlimited page. Sometimes Amazon rotates titles, but 'It Ends With Us' is usually available since it’s super popular.

Availability can be a bit of a puzzle. My main library didn't have it, but I discovered that the state digital library consortium did. I accessed it through the 'Libby' app by adding my state's e-library as a second location. It required a separate library card, which I got online for free as a state resident. So if your local branch's selection is slim, look into larger regional or state-level digital libraries. Many states have them, and residency is often the only requirement. 'It Ends With Us' was right there in their top-loaned list with a manageable two-week wait.

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.

My two cents: instead of just searching for 'It Ends with Us,' also search for 'Colleen Hoover.' Sometimes libraries bundle her books into a 'Hoopla Bonus Borrows' month or have other promos where the borrow doesn't count against your monthly limit. Hoopla is a different service than OverDrive/Libby, and it's instant-borrow, no waits, but titles rotate. It's another avenue to check.
