Pineapple Street focuses on three women of the wealthy, elitist Stockton family: Sasha, who married into the family and frequently feels like an outsider; Georgiana, a young adult who falls in love with the wrong man and must discover what kind of person she wants to be; and Darley, who rejected her family fortune to marry the love of her life and ended up sacrificing more than she realized in the process. The novel navigates the relationships between these women and their other family members, and explores the differences that obscene amounts of money can make in a person’s life.

I was excited about this book, but it didn’t stand out as much as I expected it to. There were a lot of funny moments and great character development that I enjoyed; however the plot was a little bland and there didn’t really seem to be a point to all of the wealthy characters’ entitlement and ridiculousness. The majority of the characters lacked depth. I’m not really sure what point the author was trying to make about old money and trust fund babies. This book was well written and has lots of great humor but overall missed the mark for me.
