About this listen

Actor, producer, and New York Times best-selling author Rob Lowe offers up a collection of personal stories in an honest and celebratory memoir about men and women, art and commerce, fathers and sons, addiction and recovery, and sex and love.

Actor Rob Lowe is an entertaining raconteur whose best-selling first audiobook, 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.

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

Among the many adventures Lowe describes in Love Life are what it's like in the trenches as both the star and producer of a flop TV show; how a visit, as a 20-year-old, to Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion led to a surprise in the hot tub; how an actor prepares for a role, as well as the practical, boots-on-the-ground details no drama or film school would ever teach you. You'll delight at the hilarious account of the time a major movie star stole his girlfriend, and of coaching a kid's basketball team dominated by omnipresent helicopter parents. The story of coming to terms with his son's departure to college for the education his father never got will touch anyone with a family.

Building on Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Love Life is the literary equivalent of returning to a favorite restaurant to savor a completely different, delicious new dish. If you love life, you'll love this audiobook.

What a great book and listen!

I’ll admit I had a bit of a preconceived notion that this book would be a titillating name-drop series of events in a famous actor’s life. I was so wrong. Rob had me sobbing through at least two of the chapters, and his writing and narrative style were perfect - as if you were sitting next to him listening to him tell his stories (or maybe that part is just my wishful thinking). It is clear that Rob Lowe loves his family without end, loves his profession, and loves life.

It honestly, shocked me

Best books I’ve read in a long time. The fact he narrated it was even better. I did not expect to become so immersed in his stories. Well written, stories were well told. I loved both books and I’m sad they are finished. Rob Lowe is quite a guy.

beautifully written

all you need is love. Rob talks so candidly about all kinds of love that often made me cry and laugh at the same time.

Amazing read

Wow, Rob Lowe did it again. Read the first book and loved it, read this book and loved it more. I could listen to Rob read/write his stories everyday. Left me patiently awaiting book three and the stories to be shared.

Honest and interesting biography.

I love the flow of how Rob Lowe tells his story. Getting to know people I have enjoyed watching in movies and on TV from their own words rather than what you read in trash magazines is my reason for reading biographies. I prefer the audiobook version as most are read by the author which brings extra validity and after all who wouldn't want Rob Lowe's sexy voice reading to them.

Another great book by Rob Lowe

After listening to his first book (which was fantastic), I was excited to hear this one.
I was not disappointed - Rob is a great narrator and writer, and his stories are engaging, for the most part.
There were a few moments where I found myself losing interest, but they didn’t last long.
He is a bit more self-congratulatory in this book, but he admits it later on (which I love, he’s pretty open about himself, which makes his story so nice to listen to, he shows you the human side, not just the side he wants you to see).
