Quatrième de couverture :

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.
