Synopsis

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

Goodreads review by Dez the Bookworm on October 08, 2023

One woman’s 50 is not every woman’s 50… This book sounded funny right out of the gate, I loved everything about the look and sound of this. It did fall a little flat for me unfortunately. This book is a story, or stories more accurately, about the experiences the author had and how she feels it has s......more

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley. Can I just say Laura Belgray is hilarious?! I mean, how often is it that we feel like we can relate to what these famous / semi-famous people say in their memoirs on tv? But Laura truly let all her embarrassing sto......more

Goodreads review by Krista on March 14, 2023

Why “Tough Titties”? First, because I say it a lot. Because, basically, I’m twelve. Second, it evokes late-’70s, early ’80s, dirty, scuzzy New York, which I consider my point of origin, the shell out of which I rose in all my nerd glory. It gives top notes of terry-cloth halter top and roller skates......more

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy! This was my first read of Belgray's and loved her writing style. Her stories were so funny and she has experienced so much both good and bad. Love that she embarrasses the humiliating situations and still tries to find the best. After reading this, I want t......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on April 25, 2023

My partner had to hide Tough Titties so I could meet a work deadline. Why? Because I LOVE stories that take place in New York. I LOVE stories that are true—especially when it’s not easy to tell the truth. And I LOVE Laura Belgray. She is a true leader and has changed so many lives through her work b......more
