All My Rage is a book that I struggle to find words for. It is a story of immigrant life, a story of past and present trauma, a book of what it means to love a friend, a book of what it means to love your family. It seems almost inappropriate to rate this book, so suffice it to say this novel is beautiful, heartbreaking, and raw. It is exceptionally well written. You will need tissues. 

Told from several points of view, we read from the perspectives of Salahudin and Noor who are best friends in present day California. We also read from Misbah's perspective in the past in Pakistan.  The way the timelines weave together is brilliant. In so many ways this is a character driven novel, detailing what life BIPOC life is like for Sal and Noor's families, but in the second half it becomes more plot driven and even more emotional. 

I'm so glad I read this book and also glad I went into it relatively blind. It is a story about what it means to carry rage with you every day of your life, and it is an important window into an experience many of us do not have. I think this simply must be read to understand.
