We are delighted to have Dee Salmin host the launch of Jessy Wu's Good Intentions.

Their first kiss was not without technical shortcomings. His glasses bumped against the bridge of her nose and her back pressed uncomfortably against the edge of a filing cabinet.

Somehow she knew that for as long as she lived, there would never be another kiss as perfect or as profound.

Clear-eyed and taut, Good Intentions announces a blistering new voice in Australian fiction, asking what it takes to stay true in a world that demands compromise, and what happens when the person who once saw you most clearly becomes the one who threatens to topple everything you've built.

Free, but bookings are essential.
