Absorbing, compelling, and beautifully written. Its ending brought me close to tears. Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare The Big Sick meets Nick Hornby in Kasim Alis 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. If love really is a choice, how do you decide where your loyalties lie? Its the countdown to the New Year, and Nur is steeling himself to tell his parents that hes 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 its come at a cost. 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 conversationfirst awkward, then absorbing. And as their relationship develops, so too does Nurs 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. Deftly transporting readers between that first night and the years beyond, Kasim Alis Good Intentions 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 youre meant to be.
