  • Living in a small California town, Pakistani-American teens Salahudin and Noor are best friends – until The Fight tears them apart.
  • As they each navigate through a series of difficult situations during their senior year, they need each other more than ever.
  • With a terminally ill mom and an alcoholic father, Salahudin struggles to run his family’s motel on his own and takes desperate measures to keep it going while Noor works at her angry uncle’s liquor store and secretly applies for college.
  • Both seem to be on collision course with disaster.  Will they reconcile with each other before it's too late?​

This quote from Noor kind of sums it up: “I think about the s$%t we've read in school. Those books all about one problem. A kid who's bullied. A kid who's beaten. A kid who's poor. And I think of us and how we've won the s$%t-luck lottery. We have all the problems.”  Noor and Salahudin do have all the problems (and then some), which makes this a brutal read – but it’s also such an incredibly good book that you just keep rooting for them no matter how bleak and bad things get.  Amazing!
