11/3/2024 reread review
“there’s no doubt enzo is worth loving, and though it terrifies me, i’m no longer willing to run away from it.”
this was an official reread since i first read does it hurt on kindle unlimited. i felt so much more connected to the characters and the story reading it in paperback format. i absolutely couldn’t put it down and even lost sleep over this even though i've read it before. h.d. carlton’s books always make me feel like i’m watching a movie in my head while reading it, which only makes me love her writing and books more. i had originally rated this 4.5 stars, but after doing my reread, it deserves a solid 5 stars.
