First of all, I just wanted to thank Razorbill, Sabaa Tahir, and BookishFirst for my chance to read and review this copy of All My Rage.
Sabaa Tahir tells the tale of struggle and loss within a collection of Pakistani Muslims, all while striving and surviving the implications that come along with the "American Dream." Narrated from split timelines/POVs, one of a young woman aging and marrying in Pakistan and the other of two Pakistani Muslims in present-day America who undergo issues such as family deaths, alcohol abuse, and even ostracizing Islamaphobia.
Beautifully written, be sure to have a box of tissues on hand for this one is sure to rip your heart out. Though it's just a YA novel, Sabaa Tahir hits all the impactful boxes when it comes to telling the cautionary tale of immigrants and their struggle to survive.
TW:
- Drug + Alcohol Abuse
- Sexual Assault References
- Physical Abuse
- Racism + Islamaphobia
- Corrupt Law Enforcement
4/5 Stars
