I had read Rob Lowe's initial memoir Stories I Only Tell My Friends and really enjoyed it. Lowe has had a fascinating life since becoming famous at 15 in Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders.He is observant, intelligent and a natural story teller. The same charm is reflected in Love Life, where Lowe talks about his love for acting and producing, his love for family, his love for sobriety, and the other loves of his life.
Despite his fame and socializing with Presidents, movie stars and celebrities of all kinds, Lowe is very relatable.
He is a mature man who no longer cares about fame, partying or what others think of him, but someone who just wants to do good work and make his family proud.
Whether it's coaching his son's team (and thinking like I do, do parents honestly want every kid to have a trophy?) or staring in Behind the Candelabra with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon (just another day of throwing yourself into your work), Lowe finds the humor and offers thoughtful observations and reflections on his experiences.
