Member-only story
Rich Moms vs. Other Moms — “I love that journey for you.”
“Firstly, you’re going to need a $20 million brownstone.
Your in-laws will actually just give that to you.
Also, be sure to refer to this home as a “fixer-upper” when you go to the bar for martinis with the other moms; you don’t want to seem unrelatable.”
I just finished Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson and recently discovered Tinx. Coincidence? I think not. Rich Moms are in right now (maybe they were never out), but are they better?
There are the rich and there are the very rich, and while the very rich exhibit varied demographic characteristics, the family at the center of Jenny Jackson’s sparkling debut novel, “Pineapple Street,” is of a highly specific sort: the pedigreed, never-touch-the-trust-fund-principal, tennis-playing, old-money-Brooklyn WASP.
