Love Life by Rob Lowe

Love Life is Rob Lowe's second book, I guess you could call it a follow up to his first memoir, Stories I Only Tell My Friends.

The title might sound like this is going to be all about his sex life but no...It is a love letter. Picking up this book and starting to read was like picking up a conversation paused at the end of the last book. In this go round Rob shares more intimate thoughts.

The conversation flows and the emotions are so close to the surface. It becomes clear how much being a husband and father has made him feel complete. The book is a love letter to his sons, his wife and his sobriety, a love letter to life. While there are some tidbits of the characters he has played since the end of The West Wing and getting about as far from Sam Seaborn as he could, shows like Californication and the HBO Movie Behind The Candelabra. Not because he didn't love being Sam, he did, but because he was growing and exploring his range.


As with this first book, I thoroughly enjoyed my second visit with the ever adorable, much deeper than he seems, Rob Lowe.
