Pineapple Street: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel

A deliciously funny, sharply observed debut of family, love, and class, this zeitgeisty novel follows three women in one wealthy Brooklyn clan

Darley, the eldest daughter in the well-connected old money Stockton family, followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for motherhood but giving up far too much in the process; Sasha, a middle-class New England girl, has married into the Brooklyn Heights family, and finds herself cast as the arriviste outsider; and Georgiana, the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she can’t have, and must decide what kind of person she wants to be. 

Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable, loveable—if fallible—characters, it’s about the peculiar unknowability of someone else’s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the insanity of first love—all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

I’m sorry, respectfully sorry but this was a hard read. Hard in the sense that there was an underwhelming amount character development, plot, and overall relatability. I did not resonate with the main character and she was too much of a pessimist for my taste.

Entertaining read! The back and forth between character perspectives was a bit hard to follow sometimes, but I enjoyed the aspect of looking at money a different way as the characters are loaded, but not always happy. It’s a good indicator that money doesn’t always buy happiness; but it can buy Chanel earrings. If you’re looking for a good beach read, this is it!

Lovely book! At first the lack of plot was frustrating but then I realized how much I loved these characters and their lives. I didn't want it to end!
