I love Luke. I love Lorelai. I love Emily. I absolutely love Gilmore Girls. So I obviously loved this book.
Many of the essays can be easily skipped, but this is a good feel-good book for Gilmore Girls fans.

Reading this book was like chatting with Gilmore fans all over the world. I agreed with some, some were over-complicating things, some were mere funny and relatable...I'm really happy I got to read this, but it made me crave for more...Hope I come across similar books, since Gilmore fandom in my surrounding is scarce, I need to continue at least my fictional conversation.

The essay about Gilmore Girl food gets a solid 5 stars, as does the essay on sex. Those two essays had me thinking and rethinking about this show (seriously- Paris, Rory, AND Lane all had somewhat disastrous consequences after having sex for the first time. No way that wasn't a deliberate point.) And both of those essays had me rewatching several episodes- especially the food essay, breakfast at Luke's Diner will never hit me the same way again.
Many of the other essays were a solid 3-4 stars, but there were a couple that came in pretty low at 2 stars.
If you're a serious fan of the Gilmore Girl show then this book would be interesting. Otherwise skip it.

Maybe more like a 3.5? Some of the articles are really good and some not so much.

This is a fun, semi-serious/semi-comedic group of essays of which I enjoyed about half in this compilation, especially the essays by Gregory Stevenson about food being a starring character in Gilmore Girls and a love letter from writer Heather Swain to Kirk with her undying love. Jennifer Crusie added her own flavor with an introduction and a glossary of pop cultural, literary, and historical references she defines and includes personal comments on.

Smart, witty and so much fun to revisit the Gilmores and Stars Hollow. All essays are brilliant, and cover a wide range of topics from the characters, the town, books and even food.
This book strikes the right balance between informative and interesting, never boring, never so "out there" that you wonder if a psycho wrote it.
I loved that there's tons of quotes, and fell in love with the series and characters all over again.

Going into this book, I was expecting a more behind the scenes look into the Gilmore Girls. Although I was disappointed that I didn't get that, I tried not to let that sway my review.
This a collection of essays about the Gilmore Girls. Alas, a weird mix of repetition of plot points and oddities ensues. A few things are flat-out wrong, which make me question the super fans that wrote the essays. A few essays are thought-provoking, and others are completely missable.
