On Beauty by Zadie Smith

Ugh this book is so boring. Literally nothing happens. It's just a family of self centered people existing around another family of self centered people they don't like.
And the character descriptions? The mom is an overweight black woman. Any time she is mentioned, it is also referenced that she is either black or fat. Or both. Every time. Apparently she has zero other traits.
And her husband is a f-ing pig who sexualizes and objectifies every woman he comes into contact with. And then it repeated says "he doesn't usually do this". He meets the daughter of the other family, whom his son was briefly engaged to, and talks about her nipples. Multiple times on multiple meetings. Eww.
