Following the success of his New York Times bestselling memoir Stories I Only Tell My Friends, acclaimed actor Rob Lowe returns with Love Lifeâa funny, heartfelt, and deeply personal collection of stories that âinvites readers into his world with easy charm and disarming franknessâ (Kirkus Reviews).
In Love Life, Lowe continues to pull back the curtain on his life in Hollywood, delivering a candid and often hilarious take on celebrity, fatherhood, fame, and personal growth. With his signature blend of wit, honesty, and reflection, Lowe opens up about addiction and recovery, the ups and downs of an acting career, and the sometimes awkward, always memorable experiences that have shaped him.
Among the unforgettable stories:
-His eye-opening visit to the Playboy Mansion as a wide-eyed young actor
-An awkward childhood discovery in Malibu
-Life behind the scenes on sets like Californication and Parks and Recreation
-The trials of producing a failed TV show
-A comical experience coaching youth basketball amid overbearing parents
-Visiting college with his son, and confronting what he missed himself
-How a movie star once stole his girlfriendâand what he learned from it
Loweâs reflections are tied together by an underlying philosophy about love, relationships, and learning from lifeâs curveballs. With âshowbiz anecdotes, self-deprecating tales, and a general sweetnessâ (New York Post), Love Life is an entertaining and surprisingly moving portrait of a man whoâs lived in the spotlightâand kept his sense of humor and humanity.
Perfect for fans of celebrity memoirs, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, and anyone who loved Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Love Life shows a beloved actor at his most open and relatable.
