An INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
An INSTANT INDIE BESTSELLER!"All My Rage is a love story, a tragedy and an infectious teenage fever dream about what home means when you feel you don’t fit in." — New York Times Book Review
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sabaa Tahir comes a brilliant, unforgettable, and heart-wrenching contemporary novel about family and forgiveness, love and loss, in a sweeping story that crosses generations and continents.
Lahore, Pakistan. Then.
Misbah is a dreamer and storyteller, newly married to Toufiq in an arranged match. After their young life is shaken by tragedy, they come to the United States and open the Clouds' Rest Inn Motel, hoping for a new start.
Juniper, California. Now.
Salahudin and Noor are more than best friends; they are family. Growing up as outcasts in the small desert town of Juniper, California, they understand each other the way no one else does. Until The Fight, which destroys their bond with the swift fury of a star exploding.
Now, Sal scrambles to run the family motel as his mother Misbah’s health fails and his grieving father loses himself to alcoholism. Noor, meanwhile, walks a harrowing tightrope: working at her wrathful uncle’s liquor store while hiding the fact that she’s applying to college so she can escape him—and Juniper—forever.
When Sal’s attempts to save the motel spiral out of control, he and Noor must ask themselves what friendship is worth—and what it takes to defeat the monsters in their pasts and the ones in their midst.
From one of today’s most cherished and bestselling young adult authors comes a breathtaking novel of young love, old regrets, and forgiveness—one that’s both tragic and poignant in its tender ferocity.(Cover may vary)
Why did I add All My Rage to my bookshelf?
I was really excited to have the opportunity to read this book and then just never got around to it for some reason. I don’t think that I have seen anything but positive reviews for it and when I checked Goodreads, it currently has an average rating of 4.52 which is excellent. It sounds like a really powerful story and I cannot wait to finally listen to it sometime soon.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
This isn’t really my speed, but I remember it being popular/well liked when it came out. Hope you enjoy it.
Oh nice pick! I kind of forgot Sabaa had this contemporary title! I’m anxious for her next book info to be released. I feel like we’re getting closed but as to which genre it will be I have no clue! Lol. Hope you enjoy this one once you get to read it!
This sounds really interesting, though it isn’t in the genres I usually read. I hope you enjoy it!
Looks like a new genre for this author. Hope you love it like most Goodreads readers did. 🙂
I haven’t read this one.
I do that too. Get all hyped up to read a book and then still not get around to it.
I hope you enjoy this one when you get around to it Carole!📚💜
I remember when this one released last year and I saw a lot of positive reviews for it. Hope you’ll enjoy it if you pick it up!
I have heard fantastic reviews about this author’s books. This looks really good!
