Description

'A fresh pop-culture history of Hollywood . from the point of view of the man who lived it. He is as funny as he is thoughtful [and] as interested in the world as the world is interested in him.' - PEOPLE

Actor Rob Lowe is an entertaining raconteur whose bestselling first book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography, was hailed as 'self-deprecatingly funny' (The New York Times) and 'thoroughly entertaining' (Time) and earned the author the cover of Vanity Fair.

After writing his acclaimed debut, Lowe wanted to share more of the stories he only tells his friends. Love Life serves up another delicious selection of intimate stories and observations from Lowe's life, told with humour, warmth, and brutal honesty. The result is a touching and hilarious memoir about the business and craft of acting, the pitfalls of success, family, love, and much more.

A wildly entertaining series of celebrity revelations, as well as a heartfelt family story told with disarming candour that will surprise and move you, Love Life is fascinating, funny and poignant. If you love life, you'll love this book.

Praise for Stories I Only Tell My Friends:

'A lovely autobiography, equal parts dish and pathos.' - VANITY FAIR

'[Lowe] writes viscerally and insightfully. . . . He looks back at the aberrant highs of his heartthrob days, the changing nature of stardom in Hollywood, the trade-off he has WC made between high life and home life, and the step-by-step effort behind his show business survival. He looked likethe callowest kid in the Outsiders crew. Now he looks like the sturdiest of them all.' - THE NEW YORK TIMES

'His attitude is so vulnerable and straightforward that many readers, appreciating his cautionary tale, might want to shake his hand.' - THE WASHINGTON POST
