The One Where We Take a Vacation! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're taking a vacation! Hey everyone! Just popping into your feed for a very quick Chapter One, Scene One update. We are officially putting ourselves on summer vacation . Which sounds much more glamorous than saying, “We need a few weeks where nobody has to read a book by Tuesday.” So there will be no new episodes during September — BUT we are not going anywhere. In fact, we're using this little break to shake things up a bit, because Chapter One, Scene One will be back October 6th with new epi
Five Star Weekend: The One Where Life Phases Collide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a devastating loss, Hollis Shaw decides what she needs is a weekend on Nantucket surrounded by her closest friends. Sounds lovely, right? There’s just one small catch: she invites one best friend from each era of her life . What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

This week we're breaking down Elin Hilderbrand's bestselling novel and the Netflix adaptation starring Nicole Kidman . We'll debate whether this story is really about solving a murder, which character got the biggest glow-up on sc
Mini Episode - Genre Series: The One Where Classics Get Defined (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we're continuing The Genre Series with Classics. What is a classic? Who defines when a book becomes a classic? Do we need a checklist? This week we discuss what we think defines whether a book falls into the Classic category. We also discuss old classics vs modern classics. Join is for the discussion! From the page to the screen—and every plot twist in between— Chapter One, Scene One is where books meet their movie and TV adaptations. Every week, we read it, watch it, and then bring ou
