Sabaa Tahir held no punches with this book and I had to sit down a few times while reading this book. As their future inches closer, Noor and Salahudin have to make life-changing decisions and face past mistakes for better or worse. Meanwhile, her uncle is determined to keep her right where she is-working odd hours at his convenience store while he aspires to greatness. But what once was a promising dream becoming more unlikely as her grades decline due her lost friendship with Salahudin along with her safe haven of spending time with his mother, Misbah. Noor, on the other hand, has only one goal: go to college. Desperate, he turns to drug dealing to pay the piling bills. With Sal’s mother having a steep decline in health and his father’s alcoholism, his family’s business-and overall future-is on the line. However, after Noor confesses romantic feelings to him, their bond swiftly falls apart and sends them down vastly different paths. Taking place in Juniper, California, Salahudin and Noor were best friends growing up. This month, we’re heading into the harsh reality of the “American Dream” in All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir. Last month, we rounded out Hot Love Summer with The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow. Hello again, audacious readers! We’re starting of year two of the Audacity Book Club with an emotional bang.
