HTML:<p><b>"An unbelievably gorgeous debut."—Angie Kim, bestselling author of <i>Miracle Creek</i></b><br /> <b><br /> For fans of <i>The Big Sick</i> and Nick Hornby</b><b>—a</b> <b>magnetic debut novel about a young man who has hidden a romance from his parents, unable to choose between familial obligation and the future he truly wants.</b><br /> <i>If love really is a choice, how do you decide where your loyalties lie?</i><br /> It's the countdown to the New Year, and Nur is steeling himself to tell his parents that he's seeing someone. A young British Pakistani man, Nur has spent years omitting details about his personal life to maintain his image as the golden child. And it's come at a cost.<br /> Once, Nur was a restless college student, struggling to fit in. At a party, he meets Yasmina, a beautiful and self-possessed aspiring journalist. They start a conversation—first awkward, then absorbing. And as their relationship develops, so too does Nur's self-destruction. He falls deeper into traps of his own making, attempting to please both Yasmina and his family until he must finally reveal the truth: Yasmina is Black, and he loves her.<br /> Deftly transporting readers between that first night and the years beyond, Kasim Ali's <i>Good Intentions</i> exposes with unblinking authenticity the complexities of immigrant families and racial prejudice. It is a crackling, wryly clever depiction of standing on the precipice of adulthood, piecing together who it is you're meant to be.<b><br /> A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company.</b></p>.
