This took a minute for me to get into but I ended up loving it! I could not relate less to the ‘parenting young children in a wealthy Miami neighborhood’ vibe, but reading this started to feel like I was watching a Real Housewives spinoff and from then on I was hooked.

This is the perfect summer read! I love full cast narration and the narrators for this audiobook did an amazing job. It was easy to follow along with the many POVs because each voice was distinct and recognizable.

I work in a school, so I was drawn in by the PTA angle of this story. This book reminded me of The Real Housewives with delving in to the lives of several wealthy Miami families. The first half was excellent, but the story became a little unhinged for me the second half. It was still a fun ride!

Thank you to Libro.fm and HarperAudio for providing me with an audiobook copy, and to NetGalley and William Morrow for providing me with a digital copy of this book. This review is voluntary, and all opinions expressed are my own.

The lengths that some will go to stay in the inner elite circle…

The premise was intriguing and kept my attention as it was a quick easy read about a group of PTA socialite moms who will do whatever it takes to stay at the top. However it’s not a book that stuck with me.

Ok I really wanted to love this one. I thought the premise of this book sounded really good but the execution fell flat. There was way to much jumping around and it just got confusing in the end.

I love books about rich people behaving poorly, and this is exactly what this book is about. The PTO at an elementary school in Miami is filled with moms and dads that are a bit extreme. There are multiple viewpoints in this book as things unfold and this was a book I couldn't put down! Highly recommended as a fun read, with an underlying mystery!

🏝️💎 💰PINK GLASS HOUSES
This was a deliciously juicy look into the fictional world of Miami’s most prestigious elementary school’s PTA mom life 😈

When Melody Howard moves to Miami Beach with her husband and young daughter, she quickly realizes she’s not in Kansas anymore! She’s taken into the fold of the mom group and begins to navigate their world while trying to maintain her values and do a little undercover vengeance, too.

I really enjoyed this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you enjoy reality TV or drama, Pink Glass Houses is the book for you!

Goodness! This opened my eyes to a whole new lifestyle I didn't know existed. It was a unique story and somewhat entertaining I have to admit.

Thank you NetGalley for the Advanced reading copy!

Pink Glass Houses is a novel about a few mean-spirited women at an exclusive public school in Miami. It is a test between the professional working mothers and the super-charged stay-at-home moms who devote themselves to being room mothers and fundraisers for the school. When Melody and her family relocate from Wichita to Miami, the balance at the school of 1,000 students shifts. The novel is written from the opinions of many, from the snarky moms to the exhausted moms, some of whom want nothing but the best for their children. It is a novel about common sense meeting glamour--in the car-line a pick-up. Through Melody's viewpoint, the story captures the difficulty and adjustment it takes to relocate from anywhere to Florida. It is not all beach days and palm trees. Recommended for readers who enjoy personality drama set in a wealthy FL community

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!
