The Crimson Writer

Seventeen-year-old Dylan McGehin just quit his internship after three weeks. Not because it was hard - because it was fake. What begins as a single act of rebellion quickly spirals into a week that changes everything. Between his disappointed parents, his quietly terrified twelve-year-old sister, and an unforgettable girl with red hair who sees the world exactly as he does, Dylan starts to understand that spotting what's fake is easy.
Learning how to stay real is much harder. Raw, honest, and unflinchingly observant, The Last Real One is a modern story about growing up in a world that rewards performance, and what it takes to refuse the mask. For anyone who's ever looked around and wondered why everyone seems to be pretending. No cap.
