1.0

An unnecessarily detailed account of a wealthy family's Brooklyn lives for around a year's time. By the time I realized this novel was going to say nothing interesting about class or wealth... I was too far in to quit. Instead I read on as Jackson fumbles on about the toils of being a millionaire.

In being gifted a ridiculous property after losing their inheritance to finally regaining their morality and agency by funneling money into the non-profit industrial system, the endings of Pineapple St. are infinitely more fruitless than the novel's forceful historical motif.

A wretched waste of time.
