That one quote, right at the start of this novel, in the Prelude, tells you all you need to know about this almost-satirical story. “Pineapple Street” follows the old-money (rich rich rich) Stockton family, as the members in said family, particularly the ladies, slowly diverge from what’s perhaps expected from them. Live (or read) the lives of the one-percenters in this funny, New York City family novel.
The main reason this book didn’t have as high of rating was because I am not the biggest fan of character-driven stories, particularly when I don’t even like the characters so much. I found Sasha to be the most relatable character at times, but even then, the way these people thought and lived just didn’t sit well with me.
Have you seen or read “Crazy Rich Asians” and loved it, tho? Then “Pineapple Street” is the book for you. If you enjoy stories told through different points of view, filthy rich characters, and character-driven novels, then don’t hesitate and grab this general fiction read.
