Asha Elias
About this listen
“Delicious, decadent, and utterly diabolical. No one serves up a scandal like Asha Elias.”—Kirsten Miller, author of The Change
A seductive social satire about the wealthy PTA moms of an elite elementary school in Miami Beach, Pink Glass Houses is very Big Little Lies and Pineapple Street, but with diamonds, a tan, and a glass of rosé.
There’s a reason people call Miami Beach “a sunny place for shady people.”
Welcome to Sunset Academy, the most coveted elementary school in Miami Beach, where there are three categories of families: rich, wealthy, and ultra-wealthy.
Perfectly tanned and smiling Charlotte Giordani is Sunset Academy’s alpha mom. With a sleek blowout and relentless charm, Charlotte’s brashness serves her well. She’s up for election as the PTA president and is riding high, having just secured a massive donation from billionaire Don Walker and his socialite wife Patricia. Don and Patricia are philanthropists, media darlings, and the owners of Villa Rosé, a newly built modern glass house that everyone is talking about. (It’s either spectacular or a tacky eyesore, depending on how you feel about billionaires.)
Enter Melody Howard, a wide-eyed transplant from Wichita, Kansas. At first a skeptic about Miami Beach and its endlessly hashtaggable social scene, Melody finds herself sucked into the glossy, frenetic world of Sunset Academy moms. Melody’s easygoing manner and background in nonprofit management make her an asset to the PTA. But when she emerges as a rival for the PTA presidency, Charlotte begins to unravel. Even the most powerful players on the social scene prove to be vulnerable when an investigation into white-collar crime—triggered by another school mom, the formidable Jamaican-American Judge Carol Lawson—threatens to take down the whole institution. No amount of rosé can soothe tensions as the drama builds to a shocking crisis point.
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.
"Asha Elias takes us on a wildly entertaining journey into the seamy underbelly of Miami Beach—the glamorous, cutthroat, scandalous and sometimes deadly world of (I’m not making this up) elementary-school fundraising."—New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry

She told me she was the housekeeper, and who was I to question? Our stay in this perfectly renovated Victorian house on the rich side of Hastings was a favour from an old school friend while the fire damage to our own little place was being fixed. This is not my house, and they are not my rules. So I step aside, and I let her in. Am I paranoid to think that she’s watching my every move? What am I supposed to do when she rests her head on my husband’s broad shoulder, a glint in her eye that only I can see?

This is all my husband Theo and I have ever wanted, but I didn’t think it was possible. I should be excited, but all I can think about is telling my stepdaughter. Because Ellie’s always hated me, ever since she realised it was no longer just her and Theo. Now she’s seventeen, beautiful and smart–smart enough to see through me. And if Ellie decided to uncover my secrets, it wouldn’t be just my marriage at stake… it would be my life.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
When Cassidy Jameson’s best friend Tyler took her to Texas with him when he left for college, she was expecting his ranch-owning cousin Gage, their new roommate, to be a Stetson-wearing cowboy; not an incredibly gorgeous guy with a husky Southern drawl that seemed to make the world stop whenever she looked at him. Because of her past, she’s only ever trusted two men in her life: Tyler, and her dad who passed away when she was six. But there’s something about Gage that draws her to him in a way she can’t explain.

I loved the narrators but the book was just okay
I wanted to fall in love with book and I hoped the snark and sarcasm would build depth but I ended the book feeling like it was very surface level and I am not sure anyone really changed. The narrators were the best part of the book

fun mama drama thriller
the cover caught my attention and when I read the synopsis I was sold and pre-ordered this book. the book definitely was everything I love in this type of domestic thriller. the book is told in multiple POV all having their own narrators. the book is satire but if you have ever dealt with PTO moms especially in a wealthier neighborhood this is so relatable. I devoured this book in one sitting.

When fiction catches a glimmer of fact
I lived in South Beach as an educator moving from the Northeast and raised in the Midwest. As a friend of mine always says about real life: "You can' make this stuff up." True -- which is probably why this literary little oevre drew me towards it even as I knew I might feel like I was voluntarily watching a car crash. To that end, the story is an all too true whiff of the shiny life in South Beach -- as told by parents involved with their children's schools. Alas, I know some of these stories or, rather, some toomuch too close to this -- one, in particular, with an ending more brutal even than this. To that end, enjoy this beach (Beach?) read then wash your brain out with something wholesome as life in South Beach -- whether it be the filthy rich or the homelessness on the street -- breaks your heart as it blows your mind.
