Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson
3.5

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Perfect summer read about a supremely ultra-rich family in NYC and their “troubles” involving class, money, honesty, and family relations. In many ways it was hard to have sympathy for this family, but I did enjoy the writing, and the characters did grow by the end of the book. I do see faint parallels to Edith Wharton’s work.
