All My Rage: A Novel
Audible Audiobook
– Unabridged
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023Format: KindleVerified Purchase‘“There’s more to life than the things in front of you…sometimes we hold on to things we shouldn’t. People. Places. Emotions. We try to control all of it, when what we should be doing is trusting in something bigger.”’ S.T., All My Rage
I’ve always been a believer that things happen for a reason; that things come into your life when you need it. Whether that’s some god, goddess, the God, fate, destiny, the universe, etc. is not the question I will ever ultimately find the answer to. I’ve wanted to read “All My Rage” for a long time because I adore Sabaa Tahir and I always want to support my favorite authors.
AMR tells the story of Noor, Salahudin, and Misbah. It explores the different ways we deal with grief, loss, anger, rage, love, family, betrayal, forgiveness - life. Ms. Tahir beautifully weaves the story of two young best friends, on the cusp of realizing they could be more, with more life lessons than anyone of any age could or should have to deal with.
AMR came to me under the guise of earning a badge for a kindle unlimited reading challenge. I finally had enough in credits and a small balance on a gift card, so I purchased it. I knew it was a heavy book, but I didn’t realize that it would help me process my grief and help me let go of all my rage. I also didn’t realize I would be a sobbing mess by the end (well done Ms. Tahir. Well done). It was the perfect storm - everything lined up and it was time for me read this and deal with some of my issues.
“Rage can fuel you. But grief gnaws at you slow, a termite nibbling at your soul until you’re a whisper of what you used to be.” I truly don’t know if this quote could resonate with me more if it tried. It was this combination of 26 words that ultimately broke me down and had me weeping. The lead up to it (i.e. the rest of the book) had a hand in helping with that, but those two sentences are what had me sobbing uncontrollably until the end. (Okay, and for a little while after)
For a person who tends to forget a lot of what she’s read, this book will more than likely be the one to sit with me, at the forefront of my mind, for a long, long while.
If I could give infinity stars, I absolutely would. No hesitation.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseAll My Rage was my #1 anticipated release for this entire upcoming year. Not only am I a HUGE Sabaa Tahir fan, but we have an established YA fantasy author jumping over to YA contemporary? I say this a lot but SIGN ME UP.
I was not let down.
I knew from the dedication page, which simply reads "For those who survive. For those who do not." That we were in for an emotional ride, and it was the BEST emotional roller coaster.
I dont want to explain the plot. The synopsis explains. I want to touch on why this story is worth reading.
We have main characters who are so accessible and real that even when they do something you WANT to be angry with them for, you aren't. Because they are human and relatable and you understand their pain.
We have people making good decisions and bad decisions. Whether they are good or bad people doesn't matter. What matters is the question of : why is this person this way? Can they change? Where will they end up in life?
This story is not black and white. No choice is easy or right or wrong.
We have casual racism, hard-core straight up outward racism, Islamophobia. Which is so difficult to read but also so necessary. There are moments that you think to yourself "this is so ridiculous." Until you realize it's NOT ridiculous, and that it is a struggle people go through daily and that we need to be reminded of.
We have inside looks to how substance abuse hurts loved ones. But instead of it feeling like an after school special or life lesson it is just life and facts and honesty about a disease.
The trauma and grief the characters are hiding from is expressed so well and so heartbreakingly real.
We have all the love and relationships the characters have with each other, the growth and journeys they go through. It really is such a coming of age story that hits hard in all the right places.
And most of all we have a story that consistently expresses a spark of hope in dark times, even when the characters don't feel it.
I could quote hundreds of lines from the book but you should just go read it instead.
5/5 and it would be higher if I could.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a very thoughtful and moving book that I couldn’t put down. It makes you reflect on life and realize how one bad decision-even when made with the bar intent-can change the course of your life. I wish the author explored the psychological impact of Sal and Noor’s abuse a bit more. I think if she had, this would have easily been a five star book for me.

Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseJust love love this story. It is a bit difficult topic, so content warning should be advised. But it is still a wonderful read.
I bought the hardbound copy and the condition of the book was excellent

4.0 out of 5 stars .
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseIt was ok. With all the hype my expectations were high, but it did not capture me the way that other books by Tahir have. Still, I give it 4 stars for the subjects explored - especially female rage.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book conveying true cultural conflicts many face
I heard from this book by a friend of mine talking about how this book resembles a lot of our cultural upbringing and conveys the notion of some bad parts of our culture in an interesting and thought - provoking manner. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommended it to most of my friends who might relate about the war between two worlds

4.0 out of 5 stars Una historia devastadora pero realista
La prosa de Sabaa Tahir es impecable. Se coge cariño a todos los personajes y se sufre con ellos.
