As a Florida librarian, I was able to see the humor in this novel which did an amazing job of illustrating some of the real situations occurring in our state. The pop culture references and the IYKYK mentions of Florida things like our grocery chain were dead on. The characters and dialogue were honest, but the timeline and switching of narrators got a little confusing at times. The book felt more like a slow burn drama and I felt like I was missing some tension in the first act.

I am so thankful to William Morrow, Libro.fm, Harper Audio, Asha Elias, and Netgalley for granting me advanced access to this galley before publication day. I really enjoyed the dialogue and plot of this book and can’t wait to chat this one up with my friends!

A glimpse into the rich parents PTA school scene with Miami as the backdrop. It was a fun, guilty pleasure book. I loved that it was written from different perspectives and included other media, like interviews and emails. I think that always gives books variety. It was an easy read with characters that you loved to hate.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a bit like The Real Housewives meets Mean Girls. I loved the different characters and how the story was told from alternating points of view. I didn't see the end coming and I feel like it could have been made even more shocking. This was a fun read and I would definitely read more from this author. I received a free copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

From the synopsis "Told in rotating first person voices, Pink Glass Houses is an irresistibly voyeuristic peek into the lives of the rich and infamous, where cocaine playdates, $100,000 kiddie birthday parties, and relentless social climbing are a way of life." The main characters are midwest transplant Melody, Miami native and cynic Darcy, Judge Carol, PTO president hopeful and fundraising queen Charlotte, and the richest people in the book, the Walkers.

The book includes overly descriptive details (talking pages and pages) about party set up. The chapters being retold from multiple povs are immature and obnoxious, with the plot going absolutely nowhere for most of the book. The judge or Darcy had plenty to take down the Walkers, but neither did anything until the white collar crime come out like 60% into the book. This was really underwhelming, and Charlotte's unraveling was just her finally paying attention to her son and realizing the PTO wasn't her entire life.

This book could have been really fun if the characters had more personality and either displayed character growth or absolutely destroyed each other at the end, but neither happened, and it just fell completely flat for me.

I appreciate the ARC.

The buzz was bigger than the interest. It felt like there was too many details to make the characters pop that the storyline stalled. I lost interest at many points especially after all of the details on outfits which made me miss the point in some chapters.

This reminded me so much of a made for tv reality show! Talk about the rich and and not so wonderful! All of the elites and and their social stances. Somewhat funny and yet very drawn out. Over all a People magazine turned into a book.

This is a fun domestic drama involving the rich and the uber rich of Sunset Academy, a Miami elementary school and the rivalry for the PTA presidency. Lots of snarky backstabbing fun! I thank Netgalley and William Morrow for the opportunity to read and review this wildly entertaining story!

Not much of a thriller like I thought it would be after reading that it was compared to Big Little Lies but the wealthy drama of PTA elementary moms is there. It is full of scandal and gossip with a touch of snark as you learn about several moms on the PTA at a rich elementary school. Each chapter is told from a different POV in which I sometimes had to flip back the page to remember who was talking. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

If the book summary is some variation of rich parents behaving badly, there is a 100% chance I’m reading it. I devoured this book, and I thought the multiple POVs were done is a really nice way.

Centered around sunny Miami’s choice public school, Sunset Academy, and a brutal election for PTA President, Pink Glass Houses delivers a salacious yet highly enjoyable read. If you like Emma Rosenblum, you will love this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

4.5/5

If you like The Real Housewives, or any of those reality TV dramas, this is the book for you.

Wealthy, helicopter moms at Sunset Academy in Miami, who all want the best for their kids, and all have a unique way of showing it.

Pink Glass Houses brings drama, money, cliques, and a unique story.

Personally did not view this as a thriller, but it was still entertaining.

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for my DRC.

This book was full of drama and rich women behaving badly! Messy friendships and secrets, this was the perfect summer read. The end me had me on the edge of my seat. Looking forward to reading more books by this author. Also, this cover is stunning!

Pink Glass Houses is centered around a group of wealthy, highly involved moms at Sunset Academy in Miami. They all want what’s best for their children, though they express this in different ways.

Melody is a recent transplant from Kansas and baffled by the showmanship of the reigning PTA. She knows she can contribute to the school, given her professional background, but she’ll have to get through the old guard first. When scandal rocks Sunset Academy by way of its major donors, questions begin to rise in the community.

Pink Glass Houses offers drama, money, and cliques. Melody was a little green for me and other characters were catty, yet I was entertained by this story, filled with satire about Florida and over-the-top PTA moms.

I"m surprised this was marketed as a thriller, but it's more of a satire on the haves and have-nots in a rich Miami suburb. It's also a good story about the rich and shameless. At first, I was engaged in the mommy drama, but then the characters weren't well developed, staying in the superficial lane. I get that it's satire, but it fell flat for me- overall just 'beige'.

4 Stars!

What a fun read! Easily can be read in 1-2 sittings. It's on the shorter side (under 300 pages), and flows effortlessly with alternating first person POV, as well as interview excerpts.

Set in an atmospheric Miami Beach setting, this book is filled with (some) bad PTA moms behaving badly! I enjoyed this, as I love Miami, but also loved the vibe!

A wonderful debut!

We all signed up to read the drama, in this rich people behaving badly novel, but I felt like I had read this all before. Disappointed that I felt like there was little added to the genre with this novel.

As a parent who doesn’t quite fit into the wealthier parents my son goes to school with, I had to read this. The drama and ridiculous characters didn’t disappoint. This reminded me of little big lies, another book I loved. I love when a book is told through multiple povs and I liked the transcripts included to tell the story. This book is fast paced, entertaining and dramatic. I am here for it!

So I went into this with the review saying it was hilarious and satirical but I feel like it wasn’t that funny.
I mean don’t get me wrong I did enjoy it but I wanted more. All of the stereotypes were there for us and any scenario you could think of. All the drama! It’s exactly what I would picture for a real housewives PTA lol!

Overall quick easy read but nothing too memorable.

I had hopes for this book, but I just couldn't get into it. I think it was the writing style, and I found it hard to follow even only a few pages in. I hear wonderful and excellent things from other people, so please do not let me sway you from reading this book!

Okay okay sooooo I’m conflicted! The first part of this book is super interesting. Think Big Little Lies with rich adults causing drama. That’s what the beginning was! We had a new girl to town trope, mixed with all these women with their own dramas. Rich people behaving badly! Then about halfway thru, something changed. And it seemingly came out of nowhere! Idk if it is considered a spoiler or not but the fun drama filled book turned into something I was not into 🤷🏻‍♀️ honestly i thought is this the same book? It was weird! This is definitely a me problem bc looking at all the reviews, people like this and didn’t have the same plot issues as I did!
