Wow! That little word packs a big punch when it comes to All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir. From the moment I started reading I was connected to every character. I loved learning about the cultural differences, not just from the past in Pakistan but the way growing up in America can impact the traditions for the future. How quickly and easily the customs can be forgotten but also how easily they can be forced causing devastating consequences. Alternating between the past in Pakistan and the present in California, this is a story of strength, love, and loyalty. But how far will those things take you when you find yourself caught between responsibility and fear? Sal and Noor's friendship is nothing short of intense. It wasn't hard to follow but also didn't leave the reader feeling the need to research everything in terms of the Pakistani culture. Addressing arranged marriages, seeking out the American dream, love, loss, and what it means to find your own way in a world where you don't fit anywhere, the author takes us on a journey of self discovery. 5 happily given stars!
