"The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence In an extraordinary story that only he could tell, Matthew Perry takes readers onto the soundstage of the most successful sitcom of all time while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. Candid, self-aware, and told with his trademark humor, Perry vividly details his lifelong battle with the disease and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that shares the most intimate details of the love Perry lost, his darkest days, and his greatest friends. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and hilarious: this is the book fans have been waiting for"-- Provided by publisher.

Couldn't finish submitted by emljas on March 7, 2023, 11:21pm Rambling , disorganized. Could not keep my interest. May be better as an audio book as it seems like he was just talking randomly and repetitively

Pompous, Rambling submitted by jenduman on June 13, 2023, 9:11pm I really wanted to like this book, and read the whole thing but it was quite hard to follow, and did not paint him in a very good light. He came across as quite pompous and entitled in my opinion.
