A funny, touching, endearing romp towards happiness by one of New Zealand's best-loved writers.'In 1997 I wrote my first book about always being on a diet but never being thin. I wanted to call it Screw You Dolores after an anecdote that I felt summed up the attitude I wanted to promote, but my publisher at the time said it was too rude; that little old ladies might be too embarrassed to ask for it or booksellers might want to hide it in brown paper bags. 'In 2013 I wrote my twelfth book and called it Screw You, Dolores. It's about knowing when to do what someone tells you to do, and knowing when to tell them to stick it up their jacksie.'This first book in Sarah-Kate Lynch's Wicked Approach To ... series tackles the subject of happiness, and how and where to find it - especially when you hit that milestone birthday of 50. Just like its author, it's sharp, full of attitude, funny and sassy. Buy it for yourself or for a friend for a good giggle. And buy it because, as she explores how to make herself happy by ignoring the expectations of others, Sarah-Kate Lynch finds great wisdom too.

This book starts off VERY promisingly 😊 Then, however, it rapidly deteriorates into perpetuating myths about body size and weight, junk science myths proven wrong over and over again by actual science. One example: science has proven, and keeps proving, that being fat does NOT equal being unhealthy. Junk science, on the other hand, pretends that healthy = not fat.It’s very sad that a book titled and beginning with an attitude of not following arbitrary, nonsensical rules, in fairly short order advocates the adherence to nonsensical, rich-country rules re body size 😔

Screw You Dolores edition by SarahKate Lynch Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
As a 50-something-year-old Kiwi writer, this was so close to home. Laugh-out-loud funny. Wish I'd written it! Bloody good job, Sarah-Kate. (Mimes kayaking.)
Fabulous, laugh-a-minute book with just the right amount of seriousness. Will lend it, sorry SK, will BUY it for all my soon-to-be 50 friends. Will definitely read her other books now!
Sarah-Kate has written a witty account of what life can feel like at 50, irrespective of jobs, children or spouses ( although these all feature significantly). It is autobiographical, but enlarged upon, often exaggerated, and reads at times almost as a "doodle" of thoughts on paper. An easy read once you get used to this style. Who couldn't feel as if they had a friend in this woman?
Maybe as i relate to it, but it entertaining and hinest. Fun and good suggestions/ ideas too- i have bought all her books and love them- even the mistaken 1 click on to re- buy a book i already own in hardcopy!!!!!
I love Sarah-Kate's books, I have read everything she has written, this one is different because it's not about a character but about Sarah-Kate but it has the same humour, wit, charm and touch of serendipity as all her others. It was great to learn a little bit more about the woman behind all the other beautiful stories set in such stunning locations, the recent article in NZ Woman's Day had some beautiful photos of the author and her Mum and of course the Ginger! Loved the black& white photos and art work popping up along the way, well done Sarah-Kate, can't wait for the next one
I want Kate to be my friend. Well, she kind of is already (but NOT in a stalkerish kind of way, Kate. Hey! We could meet for coffee in Wgtn. How's Tues at 10 am? Astoria?) as I have come to appreciate her talent and share her joie de vivre by reading every one of her books (at least twice) and have now very rapidly consumed this one (like I might my second croissant). If you haven't cottoned on to Kate, do so now! She truly a kiwi treasure.
I had the good fortune to meet SK at a concert recently. After giving her a spontaneous hug (what can I say I'm a big fan and glad I didn't shake her hand - read the book!) she plonked down beside me for a chat while we waited for hubbies to bring us refreshments, which I probably didn't need but luckily I remembered her telling me to read this book. It was just what I needed. Written in her wonderful insightful and humorous style, it gives a lovely insight to her life thus far, and delivered with a good dose of advise. I recommend buying this book (don't borrow it - read the book!). I can now say I have read every one of SK's books. I hope she writes another (but $2.50 really!! - read the book!).
I'd also like to thank Bruce Springsteen for bringing us together (though not up there with the Hugh Jackman story - read the book!).
This book starts off VERY promisingly 😊 Then, however, it rapidly deteriorates into perpetuating myths about body size and weight, junk science myths proven wrong over and over again by actual science.
