Gilmore Girls hit our screens in 2000 and has been our autumn obsession ever since. There’s a reason that Vogue calls itthe quintessential autumn girl show’ and that, years later, we’re still head over heels with Stars Hollow.

Fast-talking, warm-hearted, and endlessly rewatchable, Gilmore Girls has bonded real-life mothers and daughters since 2000, when its iconic pilot introduced us to Lorelai, Rory, and their idyllic town of Stars Hollow. More than twenty years later, it has become one of the most-streamed TV shows, ever.

In an anthology as intimate and quick-witted as Gilmore Girls itself, bestselling author Ann Hood invites fifteen writers to investigate their personal relationships to the show. (‘It’s a show? It’s a lifestyle. It’s a religion.’) Joanna Rakoff considers how Emily Gilmore helped her understand her own mother; Freya North connects
with her son through the show; Nina de Gramont offers a comic ode to the unreality of Stars Hollow,
Yassmin Abdel-Magied writes about why being a daughter is a permanent state.

For anyone who identifies as Team Logan, Team Jess, or even Team Dean, Life’s Short, Talk Fast reveals what Gilmore Girls tells us about ourselves – and why it matters.
