Discover a brutally honest, hilarious, and relatable account of being a late bloomer on the dating scene, trying to master adulthood, and embracing your inner dork: "a hilarious, must-read permission slip to be 100% you" (Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
What does it take to grow up cool and popular, master adulthood, fast track your success, and always be your best? Laura Belgray wouldn't know.
Her wildly relatable coming-of-age stories include hate-following her 6th grade bully on social media decades later; moving home post-college to measure her self-worth in hookups with Upper West Side bartenders; dating a sociopathic man-baby; proving herself in the early '90s at New York's coolest magazine (as the world's worst intern); falling for get-rich-quick schemes on the Internet; and, most of all, saying "tough titties" to the supposed-to's in life: driving a car, being on time, handing in your paperwork, learning to roast a chicken, and having kids.
Peppered with cutting insights on our confusing, self-helpy culture that calls hair removal "self care" and tells us to give our 110% but also to give zero f*cks, Tough Titties will leave you feeling better about, well, everything. Let's face it: we're all tired of shame-spiraling after being told what to do when we know we're not going to do any of it.
Tough Titties is one big permission slip to be a dork, a sometimes-unspiritual slacker, a late bloomer and, ultimately, 100% yourself. It'll also have you snort-laughing in public and tapping whoever's nearby to say, "Lemme read you one more part!" Which is annoying, but tough titties.
"Nobody makes me laugh like Laura Belgray. She's got a one-of-a kind knack for taking the shame out of life's most humiliating moments. Tough Titties is a hilarious, must-read permission slip to be 100% you." — Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything is Figureoutable

      Belgray mines her past for life lessons in her humorous if disorganized debut. Bouncing around her life at random, Belgrade writes of failed efforts to fit in at her old-money high school by trying too hard (“Don’t be a climber,” she advises), her strained relationship with food throughout childhood and adulthood, and meeting her husband “during a phase of rock-bottom self-esteem” while he had a girlfriend and she was “clinging to a desperate relationship with a cheating sadsack.” She also charts her professional path from a post-college bartending gig to spots writing promo copy for VH1 and Nickelodeon to owning her own copywriting agency. The narrative is interwoven with sometimes-awkward quips, including one about how two failed breast reductions serve as a reminder to “grow everyday... don’t let anyone keep you small.” In that vein, the advice portion of the book definitely takes a backseat to her humorous retellings, and some chapters end without any real reflection at all. Those seeking actionable wisdom should look elsewhere, but this will resonate with misfits looking for a laugh and some understanding.

      Author and narrator Laura Belgray offers an unfiltered and amusing retrospective on her life and career while delivering valuable life lessons. Belgray's quick-paced, well-modulated voice brings to life cringe-worthy and refreshingly honest episodes with a self-deprecating charm that only she could provide. She candidly shares her desires--fitting in with the "cool kids," being thin, and mastering the art of conversing with boys--while chronicling her evolution from self-doubt to confidence--as evidenced by her many declarations of "tough titties!" While Belgray is a New Yorker, her experiences will resonate with anyone who's navigated the tumultuous waters of adolescence. For listeners comfortable with explicit language, this audiobook provides a humorously candid account of one woman's trials and tribulations. E.Q. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
