About the book:

From music and movies to relationships, Gilmore Girls taught us all so much throughout the years. Now, take a walk down Stars Hollow’s memory lane and reflect on the show’s profound impact with author Kristine Eckart, founder of the Gilmore Book Club, in this beautifully illustrated guide to the beloved show.

In Meet Me at Luke’s, you can expect to find a treasure trove of insights, anecdotes, and life lessons drawn from the show's rich tapestry of relationships, small-town charm, and the enduring bond between a mother and daughter. With a warm stroll through the characters' lives and loves, the book explores how their world can enrich our own.

Meet Me at Luke’s not only provides a chance to relive your favorite moments but also invites you to delve deeper into the show's enduring appeal. It offers a space for reflection, sparking conversations about how the lessons learned in Stars Hollow can be applied to our own lives. Using events from all seven seasons, Kristine Eckart will delve into discovering our purpose, creating a home, finding love, and so much more.

About Kristine: 

A literary devotee, tv/film aficionado, and chronic illness advocate, I’m passionate about helping people use literature to discover their best self and develop better connections to the world around them. My favorite things in life include books, cuddly cats, and chocolate-covered desserts.

So far, my journey has taken me from a small town in South Carolina to Chicago, to Los Angeles, and now to New York. 

I've dreamed of writing novels, plays, and movies, but the dream of this blog took me a bit by surprise. Others have encouraged me to start a blog before, but I've never felt like it was a good fit for me. And I've never been really inspired to start a blog, until now. 

Fusing my love for Gilmore Girls with reading and writing feels challenging, but also incredibly exciting and inspiring. I’m taking a deep dive into the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge and analyzing the literature in terms of how it impacts and changes our lives. Each book from the list will be featured on the blog as I go through the list and reveal the lessons I learned, discoveries I’ve made, and ideas I’ve pondered while reading the book and comparing it with my life.
