Darley, the eldest daughter in the well-connected old money Stockton family, followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for motherhood but giving up far too much in the process; Sasha, a middle-class New England girl, has married into the Brooklyn Heights family, and finds herself cast as the arriviste outsider; and Georgiana, the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she canโ€™t have, and must decide what kind of person she wants to be.

Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New Yorkโ€™s one-percenters, Pineapple Streetย is a smart, escapist novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable, loveableโ€”if fallibleโ€”characters, itโ€™s about the peculiar unknowability of someone elseโ€™s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the insanity of first loveโ€”all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

โ€œIโ€™m not sure which is bigger:ย Pineapple Streetโ€™s heart or its humor. Itโ€™s smart and surprising and, yes, scrumptious. I devoured it. I canโ€™t recall the last time I read a novel that was both this heartwarming and this hilarious. One word of advice: clear your calendar before you start reading. You wonโ€™t stop until youโ€™ve finished. It is,ย pure andย simple, aย treasure.โ€
