Welcome to Chapter Sass— the podcast where we deep dive into books that make you blush, gasp, and maybe even think a little. I’m your host, Season, and with every book, I will be joined with a new co-host with their own hot take. From spicy romances to messy love triangles and all the glorious chaos in between — we’re here with a fresh perspective to unpack the stories we love, question what we think we know, and explore how books speak to us. Things may even get a little sassy. Let’s get into the first chapter.
