I absolutely loved Pineapple Street！ I got lost in the various story lines， eagerly flying through the book， living vicariously as a 1-percenter。 The characters felt so real， their lives so realistic。 Thank you NetGalley for my copy， my comments and opinions are my own。

How and where does one fit in the world…From the perspective of three very different New Yorkers， their stories were， in turn， funny and heartfelt。 From the very rich to the rich-adjacent， they were muddling through their lives just like everyone else。 Regardless of their bank account balance， they wanted to fit in， to love， to be accepted。 The journey for all of them made for a highly entertaining read。Did the rich folks come across as snobby， arrogant and out of touch？ Yes， yes they did。 And y How and where does one fit in the world…From the perspective of three very different New Yorkers， their stories were， in turn， funny and heartfelt。 From the very rich to the rich-adjacent， they were muddling through their lives just like everyone else。 Regardless of their bank account balance， they wanted to fit in， to love， to be accepted。 The journey for all of them made for a highly entertaining read。Did the rich folks come across as snobby， arrogant and out of touch？ Yes， yes they did。 And yet that stereotype had a gloss of understanding and acceptance too and made them that less unlikable。 Especially when it was family。 Of course that didn’t always work and not letting folks get away with things they shouldn’t （including yourself） was part of the characters’ growth and （in my eyes） redemption。This read was highly entertaining in its character development， humour and embracing of all things New York。 Looking forward to more from this author！*I happily reviewed this story**Thank you to NetGalley 。。。more

The story was well written and kept me engaged。 I felt a little like the author was virtue signaling about how awful the rich are， considering she attended one of the most expensive， elite colleges in the country。

If Edith Wharton were to write about today's 1 percent in New York City， it might have resulted in this book。 As seen through the lives of three （very rich） women， this book is very scathing， insightful， heartbreaking， but most of all， very funny。 Rich descriptions， spot-on characterisations， ennui aplenty。 I loved it。 and I bet Edith would have loved it， too。 If Edith Wharton were to write about today's 1 percent in New York City， it might have resulted in this book。 As seen through the lives of three （very rich） women， this book is very scathing， insightful， heartbreaking， but most of all， very funny。 Rich descriptions， spot-on characterisations， ennui aplenty。 I loved it。 and I bet Edith would have loved it， too。 。。。more

The audio is narrated by Marin Ireland and that made this an even more enjoyable read！ Funny， sharp， and arch commentary about money， money， money。 Armchair view into the lives of a VERY wealthy family and the choices they make。 Loved the Brooklyn Heights setting。 There’s no doubt this will make a solid Netflix/Hulu/HBO series。

It was a light and entertaining read about family relationships， mainly between siblings and their significant others。 At times it sparked deeper questions about how we spend our time and money and what’s truly important， and at other times was cynical and sarcastic about the same which is why not higher rating。

This book was great！ It took me a little while to get into it but once I did， I couldn't put it down！The characters are all so interesting。 They're complex with positive and negative character traits。 Sasha was consistently my favourite。 But I have to say I do have quite a soft spot for Tilda's tablescapes。 I received a complimentary copy of this book from Penguin Random House Canada through NetGalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 Thank you， Penguin Random House Canad This book was great！ It took me a little while to get into it but once I did， I couldn't put it down！The characters are all so interesting。 They're complex with positive and negative character traits。 Sasha was consistently my favourite。 But I have to say I do have quite a soft spot for Tilda's tablescapes。 I received a complimentary copy of this book from Penguin Random House Canada through NetGalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 Thank you， Penguin Random House Canada！ 。。。more

There are these dreams I have， usually towards the end of the night， in which I have to sort a bunch of old stuff。 Sometimes I’m packing for a plane trip and I have to find clothes， but there are so many clothes， and some of them are messed up， lacking buttons， don’t fit， and I’m trying to pick out the good ones。 Sometimes it’s a mix of trash and antiques， and it’s my job to sort。 Once， memorably， I was trying to find a good bedside lamp， trying to find a base I liked that still had good wiring， There are these dreams I have， usually towards the end of the night， in which I have to sort a bunch of old stuff。 Sometimes I’m packing for a plane trip and I have to find clothes， but there are so many clothes， and some of them are messed up， lacking buttons， don’t fit， and I’m trying to pick out the good ones。 Sometimes it’s a mix of trash and antiques， and it’s my job to sort。 Once， memorably， I was trying to find a good bedside lamp， trying to find a base I liked that still had good wiring， and a lampshade， and a working light bulb。This house that the main character of this novel， Sasha， moved into with her new husband reminded me of these dreams， a bunch of old shit， much of it worthless， but some priceless antiques。 As I was reading， I’d get kind of excited to go through her house and get rid of all the crap， because I’m that weird， but even Sasha had to live with all of her husband’s family’s old garbage。 So frustrating！ Even the fusty velvet curtains that make it too dark， and even the sofa that gives everyone rashes。Backing way up。 Sasha’s husband comes from the 1%。 The house they’ve been （sort of） given， to live in at least， is her in-laws' brownstone mansion in the priciest part of Brooklyn， with so many bedrooms- full of stuff they can’t get rid of。 Her husbands parents have decamped to a closeby pied-a-terre， leaving the house to their only son and his wife， who are not actually welcome to change a thing。 The family is super-close， but Sasha is treated as an outsider。 Her two sisters-in-law call her the Gold-Digger because she’s from the middle class。 Her mother-in-law is invited to dinner- and brings all the food from a caterer， as well as flowers for the “tablescape”。 They’re all very entitled and play tennis。 In short， this is a very fun book to read while hating rich people！ Although it’s a little disappointing in the end when almost all of them magically reform and learn the errors of their ways。 I liked the novel。 It pulled me in from the first page and was generally really fun to read。 。。。more

This was a very quick read about a well to do family。 It followed the lives of three women in it and things aren’t always as they seem。 At times it was sad and at other times I was lol-ing。

Charming and light， yet well-written with decently developed characters you’ll enjoy getting to know！ This is the story of a generationally wealthy family living in Brooklyn that grows over time。 Flawed people with actual hearts and souls。 This is funny and entertaining。 Told through three women of the family， two sisters and their sister in law。 Lots of good humor is used to show these people struggling to be good and possibly do good， in a world of privilege。

I really enjoyed reading Pineapple Street， a novel about a rich family who lives on a historical street in Brooklyn Heights。 The story is told from the perspective of the daughters of the family: Darley， married with children， who chose to forfeit her inheritance in favour of not signing a prenuptial agreement; Georgiana， younger than the rest of her siblings by 10 years， who falls in love with someone completely unsuitable and questions everything about her existence; and Sasha， who comes from I really enjoyed reading Pineapple Street， a novel about a rich family who lives on a historical street in Brooklyn Heights。 The story is told from the perspective of the daughters of the family: Darley， married with children， who chose to forfeit her inheritance in favour of not signing a prenuptial agreement; Georgiana， younger than the rest of her siblings by 10 years， who falls in love with someone completely unsuitable and questions everything about her existence; and Sasha， who comes from a middle-class background， married into the family， and is referred to as "the gold digger。" I didn't realize when I first started reading this book that the author， Jenny Jackson， is also a successful editor。 It's obvious that she knows her way around words。 The writing style had me hooked from the very first pages。 I found the writing humorous and witty， and I flew threw the pages enjoying every moment。 I would definitely recommend this book for readers of contemporary fiction， for readers who like reading about families and their dramas， and for readers who like to escape into the lives of people who have more money than they know what do with。 。。。more

Meh。 Writing was good but some of the characters left me cold （Georgianna and her parents！）。 I guess I don’t really get on with rich people behaving badly all that well。 I did read it quickly and found some parts engaging。 I liked Sasha and liked how she grew to stand up to that bratty family by the end of the book！

I had a hard time getting into Jenny Jackson’s debut novel， Pineapple Street， but only because there wasn’t much of anything happening， but there’s much more focus on character growth。 Sasha， Darley and Georgiana are all so different and it was quite interesting to see their feelings about money and class。 I didn’t like how the Stockton’s closed ranks， and treated Sasha who married in as an outsider - however I did like how their relationships were kind of tied up in the end。 While the three fem I had a hard time getting into Jenny Jackson’s debut novel， Pineapple Street， but only because there wasn’t much of anything happening， but there’s much more focus on character growth。 Sasha， Darley and Georgiana are all so different and it was quite interesting to see their feelings about money and class。 I didn’t like how the Stockton’s closed ranks， and treated Sasha who married in as an outsider - however I did like how their relationships were kind of tied up in the end。 While the three female protagonists aren’t particularly likeable， their character development was impressive。 。。。more
