onmalsshelf 's review for:

Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson
2.5
lighthearted medium-paced

Edit: the more I think of this one, the more I did not like it. 

While it was a perfect escapist read to pick up while in COVID isolation, I don’t think it was good 

I am a bit confused on why the publishing industry is throwing so much weight behind it because it’s no masterpiece. I’m guessing it got the marketing dollars because the author is a editor at Knopf and just bought like a $4 million place in NYC?

Would recommend for: COVID/other illness isolation and vacation reading. 

Audiobook narrator was one of my favorites, Marin Ireland.

Another redeeming quality is that it sold in under a day on Pango
