Love Life

Actor, producer, and New York Times bestselling author Rob Lowe offers up a collection of personal stories in an honest and celebratory memoir about men and women, art and commerce, fathers and son, addiction and recovery, and sex and love. Actor Rob Lowe is an entertaining raconteur whose bestselling first book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography , was hailed as âÈêself-deprecatingly funnyâÈë ( The New York Times ) and âÈêthoroughly entertainingâÈë ( Time ) and earned the author the cover of Vanity Fair . Love Life serves up another delicious selection of intimate stories and observations from LoweâÈçs life, told with humor, warmth, and brutal honesty. After writing his acclaimed debut effort, Lowe felt he had more stories to share and many more friends to introduce. The result is a touching memoir about the business and craft of acting, the pitfalls of success, family, love, and much more. Among the many adventures Lowe describes in Love Life are what itâÈçs like in the trenches as both the star and producer of a flop TV show; how a visit, as a twenty year old, to Hugh HefnerâÈçs Playboy Mansion led to a surprise in the hot tub; how an actor prepares for a role, as well as the practical, boots-on-the-ground details no drama or film school would ever teach you. YouâÈçll delight at the hilarious account of the time a major movie star stole his girlfriend, and of coaching a kidâÈçs basketball team dominated by omnipresent helicopter parents. The story of coming to terms with his sonâÈçs departure to college for the education his father never got will touch anyone with a family. Building on Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Love Life is the literary equivalent of returning to a favorite restaurant to savor a completely different, delicious new dish. If you love life, youâÈçll love this book.
