Love Life

More about the book

Following the success of his bestselling memoir, Rob Lowe returns with an engaging collection that invites readers into his world with charm and honesty. In this new memoir, he shares a range of experiences related to love, life, and the entertainment industry. Among the stories are his youthful visit to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, where he made an unexpected discovery, and the amusing moment he found a vibrator belonging to his best friend's mother while growing up in Malibu. He reflects on the challenges of starring and producing a failed TV show, his preparation for roles in projects like *Californication* and *Parks and Recreation*, and the humorous experience of coaching a youth basketball team filled with overzealous parents. Lowe also explores his family history, including how his distant ancestor may have influenced his appreciation for *The West Wing* and classic American architecture. He recounts his first college visit with his son, who is set to receive the education he missed, and a time when a major movie star stole his girlfriend. Throughout, Lowe’s writing is infused with showbiz anecdotes, self-deprecating humor, and a sweet philosophical perspective on love and life.
