Publisher Description
Actor Rob Lowe's memoir presents a wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye.
A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood.
The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety.
Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe's Stories I Only Tell My Friends delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.

Literally An Awesome Book!
I have been a fan of Robs since the 80s. I was super excited to read about his journey as an actor. This book is much more than that. Rob is open and candid about his journey in life. I feel like I got to know the man behind the legend! He is a hardworking, intelligent caring person. This is a fantastic book that I highly recommend. Thank you Rob Lowe for several decades of entertainment. I look forward to seeing more of your work! ~Mendy~
You will enjoy this immensely!
I’ve always been a fan of Rob Lowe. He shares stories about growing up, childhood memories and family problems, the tough part of breaking into Hollywood and his experiences. His impersonating skills are hilarious and adds to the comedy that keeps you hooked the whole time. Audio book is great because it’s like you’re sitting next to him taking this all in. Highly recommend!! I would listen to it on my drives to and from work and it was so hard to shut it off. I’m hooked. Lol
Muy interesante !
Desde los 80’s era el ídolo mas guapo, y salió varias veces con La Princesa de Monaco, Estefania.
Al narrar su historia lo admiro mas por su recuperación al alcoholismo . Demuestra que sigue triunfando con sus series de TV tipo la de Netflix que sale con su hijo, no es creído y es muy familiar, si recomiendo leer su libro, me gusto mucho.
