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?
I’m reading the Pretty Little Liars series (I know, I’m 12 years late to the party) but Sara Shepard LOVES to use the word writhing when describing people dancing. “There were bodies writhing all over the dance floor”. I just find it so hilarious. She says it EVERY time someone’s dancing, which is surprisingly a lot throughout the books
