Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable, loveable—if fallible—characters, it’s about the peculiar unknowability of someone else’s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the insanity of first love—all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.

Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, a late-night live comedy show that airs every Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life. But when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show.

For most of Jen Sookfong Lee's life, pop culture was an escape from family tragedy and a means of fitting in with the larger culture around her. Anne of Green Gables promised her that, despite losing her father at the age of twelve, one day she might still have the loving family of her dreams. Princess Diana was proof that maybe there was more to being a good girl after all. And yet as Jen grew up, she began to recognize the ways in which pop culture was not made for someone like her.

Martha Friel just turned forty. Once, she worked at Vogue and planned to write a novel. Now, she creates internet content. She used to live in a pied-à-terre in Paris. Now she lives in a gated community in Oxford, the only person she knows without a PhD, a baby or both, in a house she hates but cannot bear to leave. But she must leave, now that her husband Patrick—the kind who cooks, throws her birthday parties, who loves her and has only ever wanted her to be happy—has just moved out.

Description
“Hilarious, heart-warming, wise.”—Paula Hawkins
A hilarious and painfully relatable debut novel about one woman’s messy search for joy and meaning in the wake of an unexpected breakup, from comedian, essayist, and award-winning screenwriter Monica Heisey
Maggie is fine. She’s doing really good, actually. Sure, she’s broke, her graduate thesis on something obscure is going nowhere, and her marriage only lasted 608 days, but at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, Maggie is determined to embrace her new life as a Surprisingly Young Divorcée™.
Now she has time to take up nine hobbies, eat hamburgers at 4 am, and “get back out there” sex-wise. With the support of her tough-loving academic advisor, Merris; her newly divorced friend, Amy; and her group chat (naturally), Maggie barrels through her first year of single life, intermittently dating, occasionally waking up on the floor and asking herself tough questions along the way.
Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with sharp observations, Really Good, Actually is a tender and bittersweet comedy that lays bare the uncertainties of modern love, friendship, and our search for that thing we like to call “happiness”. This is a remarkable debut from an unforgettable new voice in fiction.

Just an Ok read...
This book follows the story of Maggie Mason processing a divorce.
Appreciate that the author takes a very sensitive, raw, Chaotic and life-changing difficult moment and brings in so much insight on the ups and downs. Maggie is trying to convince herself and those around her that she is fine and everything is good on the surface. When you journey through the emotional waters with her character, you realize just how much deeper its bubbling over.
The grief, the starting over, the fear of being alone, the change of lifestyle, feeling disconnected with family and friends, feeling vulnerable, anger, depression, addictions, therapy... It does get very repetitive and hard to continue at times because as much as you can empathize with the character you also want things to move forward and hope she finally pulls herself together. I stuck through to see where it all leads to and it just fizzled. Yes it did bring some humour and dramatic moments . I loved that it was set in Toronto and many of the neighbourhoods are very familiar to my childhood. overall an ok read. 3stars

Hilarious and smart
I loved this novel. It was a great blend of hysterically funny and deeply sad and was brilliantly written. Although the novel is aboy4 grieving a marriage, it's written in a way that is relatable to anyone grieving a way of or an imagined life. It was also very Toronto, which I loved - Schitts Creek meets Sort Of (but not as good as/whiter than Sort Of).

If you haven’t been through it, you won’t get it.
I did enjoy the message the book conveys, however a lot of the context is lost if you have not been through a divorce or break up like this. Nothing really happens, but at the same time a lot does.

I wish I could get those hours of my life back...
I could not handle all of those lists, the way the narrator delivered this story, the point of this story...It seems like there wasn't a single person who actually liked her, nor did she seem to like herself all that much. I found myself skipping minutes at a time, hoping there would be a point to this story... but nope!
