All My Rage begins with emotions, and only continues building as the book progresses. It's a book that doesn't shy away from difficult conversations of addiction and abuse. Of betrayal and family disappointment. But it's also a book that navigates experiences of love and second chances. Of forgiveness and potential. I had to take a break a few time from this book because of the intensity of the emotions - and trigger warnings - but finishing it, I was in tears.

My heart broke for Sal and Noor. For how Noor wants to go to college and the obstacles against her. How important it is to have support and the ways in which we predict our own failure. For Sal, dealing with a family member with addiction is an emotional process on your own and having the added loss of his mother? Emotionally gut wrenching. Both of them are seemingly trapped in these situations of difficult choices. But something I wasn't expecting was that All My Rage is multiple POV and features Sal, Noor, and Misbah.
