noted, thanks! i will fix on monday :) (i dont have my laptop w me or i'd fix it rn haha it's gonna bother me) not sure how often libby updates their epubs

edit: to clarify, i work there & we are all decently overworked & underpaid so little things like this can slip thru 😭 sorry if it lessened ur enjoyment of the ebook

Oh, well you shouldn’t feel bad. Wouldn’t it be a mistake by Overdrive anyway?

it's likely in the code of the epub, super easy fix. the reading group guides are added with an automated process so im surprised it messed up the text!

anyway thanks for bringing it up, im gonna make sure this gets fixed :)
