Reviews - Pineapple Street

This book had interesting characters. I enjoyed them all. Sasha spoke to me the most on the difficulty of being accepted by her partners family. I definitely relate to being the outsider and different. I do love how they saw her love and commitment to the family. While it was a quick moment, it was great to see them ask her about her and welcomed her. I was also rooting for Malcolm! Definitely enjoyed his story and background. I definitely loved his family's story.

I loved PINEAPPLE STREET. I wondered how I could be interested in a story about rich people who seemed totally out of touch with things we "normal" people deal with on the day to day - but the the wonderfully flawed characters and thought-provoking storyline had me completely intrigued and I couldn't put this book down. I found characters I could relate to and, well, liked and wished I could hang out with. Oh, and a mother character that is sort of like my own mother in how frustrating and funny she is (Plus she reminds me of Moira of Schitt's Creek). While reading this, I laughed a lot, grimaced, gasped and actually shouted "no! no! no!" at one point. This is a book that makes you examine your own life and how you live it. It left me feeling like I can make a positive difference in this world. Well written and thought-provoking!
