‘Jane Austen meets Bridget Jones… Hilarious’ Glamour

Meet Butterfly – loveable socialite, avid party-goer, inspired shopper and unwittingly acute observer.

Of course everyone thinks her life is perfect but having to contend with a conniving mother-in-law, a husband who doesn’t like parties, and a circle of friends who bring new meaning to the word competitive, Butterfly thinks her life is far from enviable. And as she lurches from crisis to crisis, trailing Jimmy Choos and pearls of wisdom along the way, it seems she might have a little more on her plate than she’s first realised...

Wicked, irreverent and hugely entertaining, The Diary of a Social Butterfly gives you a delicious glimpse into the parallel universe of the have-musts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, light, social satire!
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024

A really enjoyable, light read. I love the counter-balance of Butterfly's shallowness (and English mistakes) and Janoo's earnestness. Very amusing commentary on Pakistan' s social elite (though it would apply equally to those in other countries as well.) My only (small) criticism is there is a bit too much code-switching (into Urdu?), but I think it's appropriate for her character, and you can skim over it. Overall, a great read!

3.0 out of 5 stars funny but one sided
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014

Slap stick comedy writing. "Several times I tau fell off my chair only. "

But characters were unidimensional which can get tiring for a book, but may have been just perfect for the newspaper column that this started out as.

"Tender Hooks" is supposed to be the author's best work yet. I may try that next.

Though it reads like a frivolous book, if you look deep you'll see its a record of sorts of how people react to the political situation in Pakistan and the events taking place. And of course Butterfly is hilarious !

3.0 out of 5 stars Very funny Commentary on the rich and the semi-educated, not just in Pakistan!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2014
I loved the universality of the main character. It helped that I'm familiar (slightly) with Urdu and Hindustani but I think I would have enjoyed it anyway.

After Mira Nair's movie 'Monsoon Wedding' this is as good as it gets to know a Punjabi. You get to understand your neighbours in Delhi a lot better, though the book is set in Lahore.

It's such a light easy- breezy read. Loved her tutti-fitti English, making the humor amazing, and the correlation with their current political affairs. I'm so glad I picked it up, and finished it within 2-3 days.

4.0 out of 5 stars A giddy social whirl - Pakistani style
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2011
Verified Purchase
Although I didn't personally meet Butterfly, `Pakistan's most lovable, silly socialite' I did come across characters very like her when I lived for some years in Pakistan. The Diary of a Social Butterfly provides a pretty accurate portrayal of a certain type of rich - very rich - Pakistani women.
It's a light-hearted take on a very different Pakistan from the one portrayed in the news and is very funny. I think, though, the reader needs to have some understanding of Pakistani culture to really get some of the jokes. A smattering of the language might help, too, but usually the context makes things clear enough. Reviewed by Mary Smith author of  No More Mulberries  set in Afghanistan.
