It's the countdown to midnight on New Year's Eve 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 eldest child. And it's come at a cost.

They start a conversation -- first awkward, then absorbing -- that grabs Nur's attention like never before. 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 be honest and reveal the truth he's kept hidden: Yasmina isn't Pakistani, she's Black, and he loves her. Deftly transporting readers between that first night and the years beyond, "Good Intentions" exposes with unblinking authenticity the complexities of immigrant families and racial prejudice.
