On Beauty
by Zadie Smith
Barely made it through and almost quit with fewer than 100 pages left. I’m sure it felt fresher when it first came out, but two decades later I found it incredibly tiresome and predictable. I did appreciate certain observations/insights into sibling dynamics, but every character felt flat (except for Kiki, at times) and I never developed any interest in the plot or the progressions of relationships.
