Sethi's collection of short stories is a solid debut; enjoyable and well-written, "Are You Enjoying?" provides a glimpse into contemporary Pakistan.

I found the portrayal of opposites in this book interesting- tradition vs modernity, East vs West, young and old, and the characters are all trying to navigate the various opportunities and pitfalls that lie between those contradictions.

I found the book really quite funny in many parts, with a lot of the humour coming either from the unexpectedness of the language (harsh and bitter swear words alongside the traditional language of politeness) or just the warm mockery of some of the characters who make silly decisions and seem to be at the mercy of their whims in a modern-day Pakistan that is full of temptations and distractions. 

However, despite the many parts of this book that I enjoyed, it occasionally felt a bit fragmented to me, with characters seemingly disappearing and returning without much explanation, and so it occasionally felt contrastingly as if there were both too many characters and too few at the same time. 

3.5 stars.

Thank you to Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a collection of seven stories that depict life is contemporary Pakistan. This booked helped me to gain a better knowledge base and insight into Pakistani culture. 

I did prefer some stories better than others, with Breezy Blessings being a favourite. 

A strong debut novel!
