Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - Pineapple Street

Poppy and Hatcher and their obsession with death might’ve been the best part of this book-i love unhinged children.

Sasha
I loved seeing Sasha’s relationship with her sister in laws develop over the story and her

realization that she was doing the exact same gatekeeper-y thing to her high school boyfriend

.

Georgiana
I think George was the person I related to the least in the book. Her growth over the course of the book was the most drastic. I’m proud of her for deciding her own path in the world.

Darley
Darley’s story was greatly helped by the Hatcher and Poppy moments haha. It was so interesting to see her recognize the internal and external racism and exclusionary relationships of her own family but not to be able to see that she was excluding her husband and her sister in law. It really struck me when she said she knew about NMF but never thought before about extending a hand to Sasha to help bridge their gap.

All in all this book proves that everyone should go to therapy to learn more open communication strategies.

3.5

The book was largely character-driven with little plot outside of their interpersonal drama. Luckily, all the characters had strong, distinct personalities and their inability (or refusal) to see each others' points of view felt realistic rather than frustrating.

It was hard to care much about some of the rich people problems and drama that seemed to matter to the characters, but it became a little easier to read as more of their complexities were developed.

Overall, it was a fine, generally lighthearted read about family and wealth with little in the way of plot.
