A family extending from Pakistan to California, deals with generations of young love, old regrets, and forgiveness.
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.

Good submitted by russelan on June 20, 2022, 8:20pm Good writing and characters. It did feel a bit like overload on topics that it covered.

Beautiful and heartbreaking submitted by rshah on July 2, 2023, 4:13am This was such a good book that I don’t know if my words will do it justice. All My Rage is a beautifully written, powerful story of how the trauma of loss impacts people. As heartbreaking as the story is, it is also full of hope.  Tahir does an amazing job highlighting how trauma and tragedy can spiral out of control if the right supports aren’t in place, or if people don’t know they have the support they need or how to draw on that support. And I loved how she mixed in several moments of pure happiness, which made the tragic moments hit that much harder. I also love the relationship between Salahudin and Noor and that true friends will always find each other and reconnect no matter the circumstances. Even when the circumstance is a major screw up on one person’s part.

Gorgeous, sad and hopeful! submitted by Cloverdale on August 13, 2023, 1:52pm Wonderful pacing & beautifully drawn, complex characters. This book marks the long term impact of trauma. You cannot help but root for these amazing young adults navigating a world when the odds are stacked against them.
