I enjoyed reading this a lot. It’s the type of book you could read in one sitting. It’s also the type of book you refer to as a light read even though it touched serious topics especially money.
The book was focused on the Stocktons, a family who lived on Pineapple Street and didn’t have to worry about money because their great grandparents had left them enough money to last generations.
The story was told from the perspective of Darley Stockton who is married with 2 kids to Malcolm, Georgina Stockton who worked in a nonprofit organization as a communication officer and Sasha, who is married to Darley and Georgina’s brother, Cord Stockton.
My favorite character is Sasha. She grew up in a middle class family and didn’t quite fit into the old money family she found herself. She couldn’t really get along with her sister-in-laws even when she made efforts and hated that she had to live in Stockton’s childhood home filled with items from their past.
