Pink Glass Houses: A Novel By Asha Elias

“Delicious, decadent, and utterly diabolical. No one serves up a scandal like Asha Elias.” —Kirsten Miller, author of The Change

In Pink Glass Houses, Asha Elias delivers a seductive social satire that captures the opulent and cutthroat world of Miami Beach’s elite elementary school scene. Think Big Little Lies meets Pineapple Street, but with a glass of rosé, a tan, and a whole lot of diamonds.

Sunset Academy, the most prestigious elementary school in Miami Beach, boasts a triad of families: rich, wealthy, and ultra-wealthy. At the center of this glittering universe is Charlotte Giordani, the alpha mom with a perfect blowout and unyielding charm. Charlotte is campaigning for PTA president, buoyed by a massive donation from billionaire Don Walker and his glamorous wife, Patricia. Their newly built modern glass house, Villa Rosé, is the talk of the town—either a masterpiece or a gaudy display of excess, depending on who you ask.

Enter Melody Howard, a newcomer from Wichita, Kansas. Initially skeptical of Miami Beach's social whirl, Melody is drawn into the PTA’s high-stakes drama. Her nonprofit management skills make her a valuable asset, but as she vies for the PTA presidency against Charlotte, tensions rise. The stakes escalate when Judge Carol Lawson, a formidable Jamaican-American mom, launches an investigation into white-collar crime that threatens to unravel the entire school’s social fabric.

Told through rotating first-person perspectives, Pink Glass Houses offers a voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of the rich and infamous. With cocaine playdates, $100,000 birthday parties, and relentless social climbing, this novel reveals a world where no amount of rosé can soothe the mounting drama. 📚❤️
