This was an enjoyable, funny, light read. I honestly thought it was completely satirical for most of the book. But then the ending was all like happy endings for everyone type vibes and i felt like the author was trying to say these rich folks ACTUALLY changed? that wasn’t as welcome lol.
the book tells the story of a family in the top 0.5%, the Stocktons of New York from 3 POVs - the 2 stockton daughters (darley the eldest and georgiana the youngest) and their sister in law, sasha (who is married to cord, the middle child). georgiana is literally the caricature of a snobby, oblivious rich bitch and it made me laugh out loud multiple times. like she’s an awful person. and i don’t mind reading about awful people. i was a little turned off by how i felt like the author was trying to say she had changed by the end. like no she hasn’t, babe. she’s just not a very nice human being. rich or not.
sasha and cord’s relationship was frustrating but fairly real i felt. i couldn’t imagine being in sasha’s shoes. living in your husbands childhood home and NO ONE will move out their shit??? oh i wanted to tear my hair out for her.
darley was fine. she was also an idiot but her kids were funny and i liked her husband.
the cover is amazing. the audiobook narrator did a great job. the book entertained me and made me laugh so overall a good experience. just nothing spectacular.

Character-driven but you don’t care about any of the characters. All I felt was relief at the end.

Pineapple Street was light enough to pack to the beach but literary enough to keep my attention. I loved the three women's perspectives. I liked getting to know them, and I cared about each of them differently.
Easy, enjoyable read but the storyline and ending is all a bit meh!
DNF idk maybe reading the physical copy would be better??? But I got bored with the audiobook
I had a 3 paragraph review typed out and the app crashed.
The short of it is: The 1% are horrifically boring and Im not sure what the point of this novel was other than letting us all know that sometimes super rich people experience hard moments but everything works out for them in the end anyway.” The end.
