“This is not the Sabaa Tahir you know…but it’s the Sabaa Tahir you NEED to know. All My Rage is a gorgeous, star-crossed story about the costs of the American Dream and the way unexpected routes appear when you need them most. I read this in a single day.” – Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways
“Searing. Riveting. Beautiful. All My Rage takes the reader on an unforgettable journey into the heart of love. Exploring the painful truths of hidden traumas and the crush of broken dreams, Sabaa Tahir shows us the healing, redemptive power of forgiveness, of hope, of connection in her stunning contemporary debut.” —Samira Ahmed, New York Times bestselling author of Internment
“We all know Sabaa Tahir is a master at creating epic fantasy worlds filled with terrifying, imaginary monsters. Here, Sabaa turns her considerable talent and skill to the real—but no less terrifying—monsters that dwell in the human heart. In richly evocative prose and with characters so well crafted I’m sure I know them, All My Rage takes a clear-eyed look at the ways in which we hurt and heal each other. It’s a gorgeous meditation on grief and love and the possibilities each of us have for redemption. This book will stay with me for a long time to come.” —Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Is Also a Star
“All My Rage is an unflinching, profound force that will rattle your heart and toughen your soul. Sabaa Tahir’s razor-sharp writing never shies away from the world’s harshness while always finding the light in the dark for our special, unforgettable narrators.” —Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End
“All My Rage is an expert study in all that’s tangled within the closest of our relationships—the pain and the love, the ugliness and the beauty, the potential to break and the potential to repair. Painful, powerful, hopeful, and magnificently crafted.” —Randy Ribay, author of Patron Saints of Nothing
“Tahir packs an absolutely unforgettable punch in her first contemporary YA. . . .This is the kind of book that positively climbs into your bones and steals your breath in the very best way.” —Buzzfeed Books

Put this book at the top of your list.” —SLJ, starred review

“Some of the best contemporary fiction out there is YA, and ‘All My Rage’ is one of the strongest new examples. This moving—and at times devastating—book follows best friends Noor and Salahudin as Sal tries to save his family’s motel and Noor tries to strike out on her own.”
—Marie Claire
“This powerful novel tackles everything from systemic racism to the fragile bonds of friendship.”
—PopSugar
“The first-person prose vibrates with adolescent intensity—of grief, desire, and above all searing rage—as Tahir’s young heroes are faced with grown-up choices they feel ill-equipped to make. But equipped they are: with poetry, music, tradition, and their capacity to love.” —Entertainment Weekly
