The Glass Hotel is by Emily St. John Mandel. A strange, yet compelling, realistic fiction novel. Vincent is a young bartender at a resort hotel, her brother is a janitor at the same hotel. One night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a rich financier, and her life changes forever. This book is built around a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme whose fall affects all of the characters in the book. This book is nothing like Station Eleven, so if you go in with that understanding you will appreciate it much more.
Ratings: 11th grade - 7 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
