If you want a highly engaging, totally yummy beach read for those precious last surf and sun days of summer you can't do better than Asha Elias's Pink Glass Houses. It's Mean Girls grown older and more powerful and just as mean.
Melody is certainly not in Kansas anymore. A new arrival in Miami Beach, she wants to find kindred souls and establish herself professionally. She finds her children's new school's PTA to be alarming, possibly even unethical. The fund raising events are more suitable for Hollywood galas than elementary school socials. And rules and ethics seem to be something to get around.
Maybe it's time for a new sheriff in town?
It won't be easy running for PTA president. Charlotte, current VP of fund raising, has had her ❤️ set on that for years. Nothing is going to get in the way of her holding that spot. And she has influential and wealthy backers.
"Charlotte and her PTA mafia think they are so progressive for sending their kids to public school, as though we should all bow down and thank them for lowering themselves to our level, to allow their children to be educated in the same building as ours."
Darcy is no fan of Charlotte and the rest of the PTA mafia. She'd like nothing better than seeing a newcomer take charge and make Sunset Academy ethical again.
I'm sure you've heard the saying about people who live in glass houses. Well over the course of a school year there is going to be a hell of rock throwing and intrigue and totally over the top drama...
...if you're anything like me you'll want to come along for the ride. Can you guess who will prevail before the last chapter?
On a purrrsonal note, I was afraid I'd missed out on Old Town Riverfest. It's a several day festival with cool events including fireworks 🎆. They put on an awesome show last year. I googled it this morning and found out it's September 18-21. Now I have something else to look forward to! My birthday is the 21st!!!
Today's clue: like just about everything else in my life it's about God or evolution's most purrrfect creation--cats of course.
A great big shout out goes out to the people who are planning Riverfest.
