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?
My friend wrote a book about a lesbian couple. Apparently early she thought it would be confusing to use “she” and “her” constantly so she tried to switch it up a bit. She ended up using the phrase “the other woman” constantly. It was super annoying.
