After a year of running from her future, Nila stops to ask herself the most important question: Who does she want to be?A story of love and family, raves and Kafka, staying up all night and surviving the mistakes of youth, Good Girl is the virtuosic debut novel by a celebrated young poet and, now, a major new voice in fiction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
