I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?
the Invisible Life of Addie Larue - Palimpsest. It drove me crazy!!
I was just about to comment this! It got so frustrating!
Sheesh. I read the definition and example sentences for that one and I still can’t make sense of it.
It never makes sense in the book either!
