All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir highlights the significance of friendship, family, and forgiveness. Protagonists Salahuddin and Noor are all each other have, but they haven’t been on speaking terms since the fight.
Salahuddin has his parents, but his mother is sick, and his father hasn’t been the same since his mother got ill. Noor has her uncle who took her in when the rest of her family was killed in an earthquake. He wants her to take over his store instead of attending college, so Noor hides the fact that she applied to some from him. Her hope is that one day she’ll be able to leave her uncle’s home to pursue her dreams.
These two teens are struggling to survive and escape their realities, and they need to learn to lean on each other if they want to succeed.
Final Thoughts: This book is an emotional rollercoaster! It’s heartfelt and touches on a lot of taboo subjects that are normally not discussed. Even though it’s marketed for YA, I would definitely say this is for an older audience. This book is mind-blowing, and Sabaa wrote another incredible masterpiece.
