This Is Not a Love Scene
by S.C. Megale
Summary (via Goodreads)
published 2019
Lights, camera—all Maeve needs is action. But at eighteen, 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 her failing lungs might not wait for either.

My Opinion
3 stars
This was a very quick read with good banter although it felt a little too "cool teen" forced at times. I'm rating it a neutral 3 stars because I know I'm not the demographic for this book and the things that made me roll my eyes a little are things I would've loved as a teen reader.
