Pineapple Street focuses on the lives of three women who are all, whether through blood or marriage, part of the ultra-wealthy Stockton family. Each one, Darley, Sasha, and Georgiana treats her approach to her wealth and its impact on her life differently. I liked the way that their relationship with money impacted how they approached life and treated/were treated by those around them.

It took me a little while to be able to keep the characters and their perspectives straight, particularly since the main three all interacted with the same secondary set of family members. I understand that this was an exploitation of entitled rich people, but that made it was maybe a little to successful because it made me not really care about them.

I appreciated the deep dive into these three women, but the lack of significant action to push the story along was notable the whole way through and the way they all supposedly had changed for the better at the end was pretty thin. An interesting character exploration for sure, but it didn’t feel like the kind of story that hadn’t been done before.
