A witty depiction of an old-money family in crisis -- Best Paperbacks of 2024 * The Times * Filled with warmth and light. I was moved, engaged, inspired and charmed -- Daisy Buchanan Pineapple Street is that rarest of gifts-a novel you don't want to put down for anything. Transporting and laugh-out-loud funny, this intergenerational story is a perfect tale for our times -- J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of FRIENDS AND STRANGERS In this vibrant and hilarious debut, Jenny Jackson has taken a familiar tale-siblings, family money, competing interests-and given it fresh life. What binds the book together so wonderfully is Jackson's keen understanding of the beauty and difficulty of belonging, of how our desires can clash with our inherited narrative and what happens to the people we love when we need to rewrite the story.

Jenny Jackson's Pineapple Street is pure reading pleasure, hilarious, big-hearted, and full of emotional truths. It's the kind of novel you hope will never end -- Adrienne Brodeur A witty, easy-to-devour story of wealth and love's never-ending war in the modern age * Elle * This novel...is laugh-out-loud good....Love and money have always mixed like oil and water (not well), but Jackson finds new humor and warmth in her particularly witty debut * Harper's Bazaar *
