" 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, #1 New York Times bestselling 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 " This Is Not a Love Scene is so good. S.C. Megale is remarkable . This book is the result of her unswerving determination and undoubted talent." --John Flanagan, New York Times bestselling author of the Ranger's Apprentice series "My ride-along with Maeve was a joy from first sentence to last. She's authentic, unabashedly honest, fun to be with, and I still catch myself wondering what she's been up to lately." --Eric Lindstrom, author of Not If I See You First " Megale's pacing and style are absolutely wonderful.

I feel deeply attached to her characters, and I can't believe how perceptive many of her descriptions/observations are, especially disability related ones." --Shane Burcaw, author of Laughing at My Nightmare "A perfect recommendation for fans of Rainbow Rowell ." --Jenny Staller, The Athenian School Librarian.
