Présentation de l'éditeur :
On the heels of his New York Times bestselling Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe is back with an entertaining collection that “invites readers into his world with easy charm and disarming frankness” ( Kirkus Reviews).
After the incredible response to his acclaimed bestseller, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe was convinced to mine his experiences for even more stories. The result is Love Life, a memoir about men and women, actors and producers, art and commerce, fathers and sons, movies and TV, addiction and recovery, sex and love. Among the adventures he describes in these pages are:
· His visit, as a young man, to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, where the naïve actor made a surprising discovery in the hot tub.
· The time, as a boy growing up in Malibu, he discovered a vibrator belonging to his best friend’s mother.
· What it’s like to be the star and producer of a flop TV show.
· How an actor prepares, for Californification, Parks and Recreation, and numerous other roles.
· His hilarious account of coaching a kid’s basketball team dominated by helicopter parents.
· How his great, great, great, great, great grandfather may have inspired everything from his love of The West Wing to his taste in classic American architecture.
· His first visit to college, with his son, who is going to receive the education his father never got.
· The time a major movie star stole his girlfriend.
Linked by common themes and his philosophical perspective on love—and life—Lowe’s writing “is loaded with showbiz anecdotes, self-deprecating tales, and has a general sweetness” ( New York Post).

Actor, producer and writer Rob Lowe returns with more enthralling revelations and entertaining stories from his life spent in the glare of the public spotlight. He first chronicled his life in Stories I Only Tell to My Friends, filled with candid accounts of his time as a child actor, and the sometimes scandalous path to critical acclaim in the hit US political drama series The West Wing. It was a charming account of the pitfalls of early fame at a formative time when so many of Lowe's co-stars would go on to have Hollywood success of their own.
As moving as he is entertaining, Rob Lowe shares more with us, providing a compelling account of his own, about the men and women, actors and producers, sex and love in his life. His are stories we all want to read because with every tale of Hollywood excess, of surprising discoveries in Playboy Mansion hot tubs and every kind of excess early fame can bring, there is always the other side. Producing a flop TV show and watching his girlfriend run off with a Hollywood superstar were painful experiences and yet Lowe tells them with his characteristic wit.
Love Life is more than just stories Lowe would only tell his friends. He looks back to an extraordinary childhood, discovering things about his best friend's mother no young boy should know! Becoming a father shaped Lowe's life and he is just as insightful and intriguing talking about those changes, how he was inspired by his family and, in turn, how his son has experienced things Lowe never did. For readers that love life, this is compulsive reading, told by a consummate story teller who has plenty of stories to tell.
