Um kit interessante para todos os fãs da autora.

Não inclui o livro, mas inclui entrevistas e pensamentos da mesma. Uma mais-valia para a leitura do livro.

Fiquei super curiosa em ler o livro!

I really appreciate this Book Club kit. I always try to provide a variety of perspectives in the books I choose for my school's book club and I think this is an excellent choice. Sabaa Tahir is an amazing writer and this novel is one that I think my students need to read. This book club kit will help me have a better discussion with them and help us dig deeper into the book.

I read and loved All My Rage a few weeks ago. Seeing this, I had to jump in!

The discussion questions, Sabaa’s letter, the recipes, this kit is a gem!
I’m definitely printing the bookmark out, as well!

Endless thanks to Sabaa Tahir for writing this book and to We Are Bookish for making this book club kit!

This kit is awesome! It has been so helpful for our book club. We love to read and we love to talk, but sometimes it’s hard for someone to talk about what they read. The questions give great starting points that usually lead to more discussion. It’s also nice to get special information about the book from the author. It makes everything feel a little bit more special. I will say, hands down, my favorite part is the food and drink recipes. Such a great addition that everyone loves! This is great for existing book clubs, but also a great starting point to start something new! This is also an amazing book too, so that helps! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

The book was amazing and the book club kit offered thought provoking questions to promote intense discussions. The questions were broad enough to allow for flexibility (in case you didn't read like you were supposed to), but deeply rooted in the book content to encourage you to keep reading. The recipes enabled the preparer to see what it's like to prepare Pakistani foods from scratch and all the work that goes into that process. The flavors are different from what typical American's eat, so it was definitely a nice change of pace. The future book club or YA recommendations were fabulous! Our book club has already chosen their next read. Overall, the book club kit was a nice supplement to our book club meetings.

I love getting book club kits! I loved this book, so I knew I wanted to get this kit too. I really enjoyed reading Sabbaa's interview and hearing about the behind-the-scenes writing of this book.

All My Rage was my #1 anticipated release for this entire upcoming year. Not only am I a HUGE Sabaa Tahir fan, but we have an established YA fantasy author jumping over to YA contemporary? I say this a lot but SIGN ME UP.

I was not let down.

I knew from the dedication page, which simply reads "For those who survive. For those who do not." That we were in for an emotional ride, and it was the BEST emotional roller coaster.

I dont want to explain the plot. The synopsis explains. I want to touch on why this story is worth reading.

We have main characters who are so accessible and real that even when they do something you WANT to be angry with them for, you aren't. Because they are human and relatable and you understand their pain.

We have people making good decisions and bad decisions. Whether they are good or bad people doesn't matter. What matters is the question of : why is this person this way? Can they change? Where will they end up in life?
This story is not black and white. No choice is easy or right or wrong.

We have casual racism, hard-core straight up outward racism, Islamophobia. Which is so difficult to read but also so necessary. There are moments that you think to yourself "this is so ridiculous." Until you realize it's NOT ridiculous, and that it is a struggle people go through daily and that we need to be reminded of.

We have inside looks to how substance abuse hurts loved ones. But instead of it feeling like an after school special or life lesson it is just life and facts and honesty about a disease.

The trauma and grief the characters are hiding from is expressed so well and so heartbreakingly real.

We have all the love and relationships the characters have with each other, the growth and journeys they go through. It really is such a coming of age story that hits hard in all the right places.

And most of all we have a story that consistently expresses a spark of hope in dark times, even when the characters don't feel it.

I could quote hundreds of lines from the book but you should just go read it instead.

5/5 and it would be higher if I could.

I immediately knew I wanted to read this book club kit! Sabaa Tahir is one of my favorite writers of all time. I own multiple copies of All My Rage and thoroughly enjoyed having my heart broken and remade by Sabaa. I can't wait to try out the recipes that were included in this book club kit! I also look forward to listening to the playlist. My favorite part was definitely reading Sabaa's interview and hearing about her process with this book. I'm looking forward to seeing whatever Sabaa writes next!!

I've looked at quite a few book club kits—I admit I'm a bit of a kit-junkie—and the kit for All My Rage is one of the most comprehensive, engaging kits I've yet seen. Book club leaders will need to be prepared to print out the PDF in full color for their meeting - preferably on a stiffer stock than regular paper so that the bookmarks hold up.

The author's letter drew me in and woke up my sense of curiosity about the story. I went from 'might be interesting' to 'this story sounds compelling' just in the span of that letter.

The spoiler warnings are sympathetic and spot on.

I love the recipes! Serving a beverage and snack lifted right out of the character's experiences is a delightful way to create a warm bond with the story.

I think this kit would be very helpful in drawing in potential readers who may be hesitant about committing to the story. I'd suggest book club leaders share the author's letter well ahead of time to help engage those readers and ensure they'll actually have the book read in time for the meeting.

I have one nitpick - it's small, but it jumped out at me immediately. The first question in the interview section, "The cover of All My Rage is stunning. What was the design process like for you, and what do you feel it reflects about the novel?" annoyed me. I personally don't find the cover stunning. It's colorful and clean-lined, and does represent the novel well, but I resented being force-fed the opinion that it is stunning. I'd suggest simply asking what the design process was like, and let the readers decide for themselves if they find the cover stunning or not.
