    May 12 2026

    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. Join hosts Michelle, Laura, and Katya as they read it, watch it, and (of course) judge it. Welcome back and join us as we discuss the The Better Sister, the 2019 book by Alafair Burke and the adaptation, a limited series on Amazon Prime. (Crossing our fingers for a second season).

    The book is a domestic thriller about two estranged sisters, Chloe and Nicky, who must reunite after Chloe's husband, Adam (Nicky's ex-husband), is murdered, and Chloe's teenage stepson, Ethan, becomes the prime suspect. The novel follows the sisters as they work together to clear Ethan's name, forcing them to confront their complicated past and buried family secrets, all while navigating a media frenzy and a tense murder trial.

    SPOILER ALERT - We do discuss deeply, so spoilers may occur (and likely will).

Because we will have mini-episodes in between!!! We hope you love the changes because Michelle isn't changing it again and honestly she loves the easier editing.
