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!

I liked this one because, dare I say it, I'm a little nosey and this book had me feeling like I was able to eavesdrop on a lot of very interesting things! I also like reading about worlds I do not live in-whether it be the location, the living standards, whatever...this was a captivating and intriguing read because it wasn't related to my perceived reality at all of my own life. I think it was a good book, but I wasn't awed by it either.

This cover. I try to not pick a book by its cover but this one features a place I just want to hang out at!
Now to the book. The story reminded me a bit of Big Little Lies meets Desperate Housewives with a little more petty drama. Although, I guess those had their share of petty drama too! PTA moms, man. The power struggle is real. I loved the alternating POVs. It really helped pull the story forward but this was a lot of petty elementary school PTA drama that I just didn't get into. I don't love drama in general. There was a redeeming message at the end of the book though. I also liked the format with alternating POVs, announcement letters and interviews. I think this could work better as a mini series if they really flushed out the little storylines to amp up the drama.

Satirical novel about wealthy parents in an elite boarding school in Miami Florida. There is a scandal and a heated PTA election. It had some hysterical one liners especially from the character Darcy. Great premise, not much action and very very slow.

Thank you to NetGalley, William Morrow, and Asha Elias for the chance to read this digital ARC. All opinions are my own.

When I first started reading this, I was wholly engaged in the mommy drama and elite Miami social scene. Unfortunately, the wonder started to wear off about 25% in. For me, I think some of it stemmed from the multiple perspectives. I had trouble tracking them. The characters were unlikeable, which I generally enjoy, but they didn’t feel very well-developed. The ending eventually felt rushed. Overall, it just didn’t hit the mark for the expectations I had after the beginning of the story.

Such a great read! Highly recommend this one.

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book really reminded me of Big Little Lies. But, not quite as good. The conflict between Melody, recently from Kansas, and Charlotte the PTA fundraising virtuoso was kind of flat. Melody accidentally sends one snide text Charlotte and then reverts to a preteen in trying to win her back, then take her on in the PTA President race.

Don and Patricia were obviously going to be shady and then it wasn't even really covered in depth.

Throw in Darcy who has hated Charlotte since their kids were in kindergarten/first grade and seems to have her whole personality be that she's a working mom and Judge Carol Lawson who I actually wanted to read more about, and it seemed like the story could've used something to pump up the wow factor.
