Meet the Stockton women of Brooklyn Heights: Darley, who was born with money; Sasha, who married into it; and Georgiana, who wants to give it all away.
Among glittering parties, weekend homes and hungover brunches, the three will have to grapple with the burden of parental expectations, the hardships and bewilderment of growing up, and the miles between the haves and have-nots.
Pineapple Street is a witty and wicked novel about New York's one percenters: their first loves, family feuds and the complexities of being human - even when you have everything.

Reviews / Votes
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. Pineapple Street is riveting, timely, hugely entertaining and brimming with truth -- Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of THE NEST and GOOD COMPANYMore details
