The Pink Hotel
The Pink Hotel: A Novel | Liska Jacobs
6 posts | 4 read | 13 to read
Confined to an opulent Beverly Hills hotel during a raging wildfire, a young couple is caught in the escalating tension between the wealthy guests and the staff. Newlyweds Keith and Kit Collins can hardly believe their luck when the general manager of the iconic, opulent Pink Hotel invites them to come for a luxurious stay as a bid to hire Keith. Kit loves their small-town life, but Keith has always wanted more, and the glittering, lily-scented lobby makes him feel right at home. Soon after their arrival, wildfires sweep through the surrounding mountains and Los Angeles becomes a pressure cooker, with riots breaking out across the city amid rolling blackouts. The Pink Hotel closes its doors to "outsiders," and Keith and Kit find themselves confined with an anxious, disgruntled staff and a growing roster of eccentric, ultra-wealthy, dangerously idle guests who flock to the hotel for sanctuary, company, and entertainment. A blistering, dark social satire, The Pink Hotel exposes a tenuous class system within its walls, full of insurmountable expectations and unspoken resentments, which deteriorate as the city burns. In her barbed, provocative new novel, Liska Jacobs explores the corrosive nature of greed and interrogates the notion of true love, while hurtling readers toward certain disaster.

The cover sucked me in but the characters let me down. No complaints with reading outside on such a lovely morning.

Sounds promising! I‘m also mildly obsessed by The Beverly Hills hotel from a design and pattern perspective

Keith & Kit Collins are given the chance to honeymoon at the iconic Pink Hotel, an infamous establishment set in the heart of Beverly Hills even though they know the hotel & it‘s guests are out of their league. What should be a dream getaway turns into a nightmare when wild fires start spreading throughout the city of Los Angeles. Riots, looting & general chaos slowly seep into the lush enclave of this gilded world as all hell breaks loose. 👇🏽

Cinfhen I‘m sure readers will either loathe this book or love it, since it‘s nothing more than rich people behaving BADLY but I was all in! Narration by Tavia Gilbert was outstanding 🙌🏻 #NetGalley #ARC (edited) 2y

This will be a very polarizing book - #RichPeopleProblems ate definitely my jam but I can see how cringy this could be. I‘m enjoying the narration and atmospheric setting- the Pink Hotel aka the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel 💖🙌🏻 While newlyweds Keith & Kit are honeymooning at the posh hotel, which is beyond their means, the California wild fires are raging out of control and heading towards the city. As the fires near tensions arise. #NetGalley

Cinfhen I‘m thinking this is for you @KarenUK ❣️😘 2y
KarenUK I think you could be right! 2y
