Review: How many overused phrases can you get in one book?

Evidently, quite a few.  I think every colloquialism I have ever read from the 19th century was stuffed into this book.  Oh, maybe "give over" was not there, but that was about it.  The historical accuracy was not there...Cherry had kissed a lot of guys? Most girls did not.  Names had a way of changing-Cherry was called "Cherry" when she was still "Sarah" and James was referred to as "Kit" (huh?).  I would like to know how Sky "strode hard through the front door", or even what it means. Cherry's character was okay, although why everyone liked her immediately was beyond me, however, I never really liked Sky.  He ignored his siblings for months, and he took advantage of a young woman in his employ with no hesitation, and no regrets. He wanted her, that was that.  So much for noblesse oblige.  Nope, not a favorite read.
