What’s the one quirk of writing that gives you the ick? Mine is definitely repeating a word or phrase the author thinks makes them sound clever/well informed.
Honourable mentions:
Lilith by Nikki Marmery for using ‘ziggurat’ three times in three pages
The Red Tent by Anita Diamant for using ‘gave suck’ instead of ‘fed’ every single time she referred to breastfeeding babies…
