I got the first copy today. After agonizing over format (&#8220;Is this too hard to read? Is the print too big now? Why is there practically no spacing?! Why is there too much spacing? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME I AM A GOOD PERSON?!&#8221;), it&#8217;s ready to go!<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I&#8217;m not happy with is the price I have to offer it for. I&#8217;d wanted to price it at fifteen bucks, but I would have had to spend money per copy sold to do that. So, it&#8217;s coming off the line as a $20.00 USD purchase. I felt all guilty about that for a second, and then I was like, &#8220;Uh&#8230; this is actually just sitting around for free on the internet, so&#8230;&#8221; So, if you&#8217;re unhappy with the price of it, keep in mind that I am, as well, and I&#8217;m going to see what I can do to change that when it&#8217;s time for\u00a0<em>The Girlfriend<\/em> to hit shelves. But also that you can still read it for free if you don&#8217;t want to shell out.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here&#8217;s the buy link for the paperback:<\/p>\n<div style=\"border:1px solid #000000;width:118px;height:238px;background-color:#ffffff;text-align:center;font-family:Verdana;\">\n<div style=\"margin-top:10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebookpatch.com\/BookStoreDetails.aspx?BookID=21349&amp;ID=390df432-1365-428d-bf50-0eab5b823180\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:79px;border:1px solid #000000;\" alt=\"Generic cover image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thebookpatch.com\/PublishedBooks\/390df432-1365-428d-bf50-0eab5b823180\/390df432-1365-428d-bf50-0eab5b823180_79.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin:10px 0;\">\n<p style=\"font-size:9.8px;margin:0 0 2px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebookpatch.com\/BookStoreDetails.aspx?BookID=21349&amp;ID=390df432-1365-428d-bf50-0eab5b823180\">The Boss<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:9.8px;margin:2px 0 4px;\">Abigail Barnette<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-weight:bold;font-size:11px;\">$20.00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebookpatch.com\/BookStoreDetails.aspx?BookID=21349&amp;ID=390df432-1365-428d-bf50-0eab5b823180\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:60px;border:none;\" alt=\"Buy Now button\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thebookpatch.com\/images\/TheBookPatchBuyNowButton3.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then check out these\u00a0<em>amazing<\/em> running shoes I received as a birthday present from a wonderful friend who wants to remain nameless to avoid the wrath of her husband, but who I think we pretty much all know who she is, right? Having only run barefoot &#8211; until that caught up with me in the form of an achilles tendon injury last year &#8211; I had never shopped for running shoes before. Cut to me running up and down an alley in 91 degree heat while a very earnest sales person watches me and considers whether the shoes are working for me or not. Pro-tip, the pair that fly off the moment you take a single step are just a tad too big.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jennytrout.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/p1000511.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5761\" alt=\"P1000511\" src=\"http:\/\/jennytrout.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/p1000511.jpg?w=300\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks, nameless cousin-friend!
