Thanks, William Morrow and Libro.FM, for my finished copy and ALC!
I finished PINK GLASS HOUSES by Asha Elias this weekend. It definitely was not the calming summer beach read vibes that the cover gave off, but a fast-paced, socialite life of Miami’s wealthiest and even wealthier, and the elementary school their children attend and they rule over.
The book felt like if you took Gossip Girl, moved it to Miami, got rid of GG, aged the teens down to third graders, and made the adults the focus and had them narrate each episode, aka chapter, to hear their thoughts. I was addicted. Just like GG, the cast of characters, the setting (wealthy, socialite Miami = chef’s kiss!), and the thrill of what would happen next made this a fantastic read!
I switched between audio and physical books for this one, which was a great decision because there is a full cast audiobook! Asha Elias was blessed with an exceptional audiobook cast, including some of my favorite narrators, where every character has a voice, and they are used together in the chapters.
PINK GLASS HOUSES will be a book I recommend from now on - both in audio and physical book format! And I can’t wait to see what Asha Elias does next!
PINK GLASS HOUSES is out on 7/30.
