The Real Thing ★ Paul Mescal

"No one else gets me the way you do, Meg. All the people out there? -they want the star. You don't. You just see me for what I am, not what you want me to be. And somehow, you seem to think that... that that's okay. You don't think I need to be changed."

Margaret Brooks dreams with writing something worthy of the big screens, but she lacks something- and it's not talent, it's contacts.
So when she gets a chance to get into the world that can open all the closed doors in her life, she doesn't doubt it. Even if that means being the assistant of the cocky, charming and beautiful Paul Mescal.
It's been almost two years now and not even a window has been opened for her carreer. But, camouflaged as early-mornings flights, premiere nights, coffee orders and stolen moments in messy sets, could something be blooming between her boss and her? This industry is full of fake smiles and people pretending, but maybe there's one real thing in this world of lies, something hidden in plain sight.
