Living My Best Life, Hun

Following Your Dreams Is No Joke

By: London Hughes

Narrated by: London Hughes

From stand-up comedian, actress, and host of The Netflix Afterparty, London Hughes, comes an uplifting and raucously funny memoir to show you how to ditch the self-loathing, start the self-loving, and engage with your inner winner.

London Hughes has come a long way from secretly writing Frasier fan fiction alone in her bedroom. Between her breakout Netflix comedy special, To Catch a D*ck, her dating podcast “London, Actually,” and her award-winning TV performances, London the South Londoner has taken the entertainment world by storm. And now, in this sassy, brash, fearless, and funny memoir, London is ready to inspire women of all ages and races with her story—because London is absolutely the best person in the whole wide world to take you on a wild journey of self-discovery. As she herself puts it: “I’ve always been funny. I’ve always been cute. I’ve always been confident. I was born to do this shit.”

All her life, London longed to be a badass—an awesome bullet-proof woman who nobody could mess with. At a young age, she made sure she was ready to become a star, developing her own living-room popstar training regimen to prepare for her future life. But London also had her fair share of disastrous experiences in terms of friendships, relationships, and career choices. Each of the fiascos in London’s life has, with hindsight, proved to be a formative life lesson, and helped her grow into the fearless person she is today. You'll definitely be grateful these setbacks happened to her and not you, but you'll also learn that however bad things get, you can always build your self-worth, think long-term, and emerge triumphant, no matter what the world throws at you.

From starring in a school sex education video called “Swings and Roundabouts” to being gushed over by a fan while standing next to the Renee Zellweger, London leaves no stone unturned in Living My Best Life, Hun. It took London some time to find her voice and her people, but now that she has, she's mentally high-fiving her 14-year-old self every day.

Loved listening to London Hughes, her life story thus far and all the lesson she learned. Thanks for sharing babes!

Incredible Journey

Wonderful narration by Ms. Hughes herself, she had me laughing out loud and crying along with her. It flowed and captivated so well I essentially listened to it in one sitting. Can't wait for part two!

Highly entertaining and inspiring!

London has been through it! And has come out on the other side truly living her best life. I know this sounds corny, but this book inspired me to believe in myself and stay as focused on my dreams as London has on hers. Can’t wait for her to be the world famous comedy Beyoncé she was born to be! She’s well on her way.

The ups and downs of her life

A wonderful book. She outlined the racism that still exists in the UK, and how she navigated it. I loved the ending, She deserved all the success and more.
