About this listen

"This Is Not A Love Scene rings brilliantly true from the first page to the last." (David Baldacci, number one New York Times best-selling author)

Funny, emotional, and refreshingly honest, S. C. Megale’s This is Not a Love Scene is for anyone who can relate to feeling different while navigating the terrifying and thrilling waters of first love.

Lights, camera - all Maeve needs is action. But at 18, a rare form of muscular dystrophy usually stands in the way of romance. She's got her friends, her humor, and a passion for filmmaking to keep her focus off consistent rejection...and the hot older guy starring in her senior film project.

Tall, bearded, and always swaying, Cole Stone is everything Maeve can't be. And she likes it. Between takes, their chemistry is shockingly electric.

Suddenly, Maeve gets a taste of typical teenage dating life, but girls in wheelchairs don’t get the hot guy - right? Cole’s attention challenges everything she once believed about her self-image and hopes for love. But figuring this out, both emotionally and physically, won't be easy for either of them. Maeve must choose between what she needs and what she wants while Cole has a tendency to avoid decisions altogether. And the future might not wait for either.

Critic Reviews

"Megale is a terrific new voice in the world of YA. This Is Not a Love Scene rings brilliantly true from the first page to the last. Megale’s prose is refreshingly original, her pacing already at a master level, and her storytelling abilities will pull hard on every emotion you have.... Look out for this writer." (David Baldacci, number one New York Times best-selling author)

"A humorous, hearty novel about the realities (and fantasies) of being a teenager with a disability.... Readers will want to zoom in on this [#ownvoices] story featuring a strong, sexually confident, disabled female character." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Informative and inspiring. It makes for an altogether thought-provoking and empathetic reading experience." (Booklist)
