AMR captured the essence of what the “American Dream” looked like to those who had to fight against all odds to create it. This is a book that captures grief and loss, betrayal and forgiveness, rage and peace. I found myself frequently crying because her writing is so powerful. It was 300+ pages of pain that I didn’t know I needed.
Where do I even begin? All My Rage made me angry but so incredibly hopeful. 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. 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. Now, Sal scrambles to run the family motel as his mother Misbah’s health fails and his grieving father loses himself to alcoholism. Until The Fight, which destroys their bond with the swift fury of a star exploding. Growing up as outcasts in the small desert town of Juniper, California, they understand each other the way no one else does. Salahudin and Noor are more than best friends they are family.
After their young life is shaken by tragedy, they come to the United States and open the Cloud’s Rest Inn Motel, hoping for a new start. Misbah is a dreamer and storyteller, newly married to Toufiq in an arranged match. Content warnings at the end of the review.
