Coffee at Luke's: An Unauthorized Gilmore Girls Gabfest by Gregory Stevenson, Leah Wilson, Jennifer Crusie
3.0
Before the days of Netflix, (before my mom could watch the entire series of Gilmore Girls in a week) I had Gilmore Girls on DVD. I was in middle school, I think, and I remember watching each season slowly because I had to wait for my parents to go to Costco and get the next season. Since then, I think I have watched Gilmore Girls at least twenty times. I love this TV show. It sunk into my skin somehow. I stole their jokes, their pop culture references, Rory's reading list... I'm not sure if I am actually Rory or if I just tried really hard to be Rory.
Obviously, I couldn't go wrong with a book of essays about Gilmore Girls. I had recently read Girl on Fire, a collection of essays about the Hunger Games, and I was in the mood for more analysis. The caliber of analysis here wasn't as good as the previous collection, but I did enjoy it nonetheless. I had never thought about Gilmore Girls that hard. I especially liked the essays that defended Emily and showed how Lorelai defied the archetype of the typical feminist.
Recommended for Gilmore Girls fans!
