Jenny Jackson spent years editing other people’s books at Alfred A. Knopf before writing one of her own. Pineapple Street (2023) is her debut novel, a comedic look at a wealthy family in Brooklyn Heights told from the perspectives of three women connected by marriage and money. The book was picked up by Reese’s Book Club and became a major bestseller, praised for its sharp observations about class, real estate, and family dynamics in one of New York City’s most expensive neighborhoods.
What makes Jenny Jackson distinctive is the combination of her insider publishing knowledge and her ability to write fiction that feels both smart and genuinely funny. Pineapple Street does not take itself too seriously, but it has real things to say about privilege, belonging, and the awkwardness of marrying into a family with more money than you. As a single-book author so far, Jackson’s reputation rests entirely on this one novel, and it has proven to be a strong foundation.
