During my Lockdown reading, I've read a few recently published (crime) novels and I have noticed that there seems to be a trend were authors are repeatedly telling you how gorgeous their characters are or how everyone loves them? I find it quite irritating and to be frank vomit-inducing.
It makes me cringe really, particularly when an author spends so much time telling me how beautiful a female is for her to end up a beautiful corpse https://literariness.org/wp-content...tional-Publishing_Palgrave-Macmillan-2018.pdf
I don't remember this being such a thing? Is it the result of our modern celebrity culture or the legacy of Twilight and 50 Shades? Thoughts?
