Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
by Matthew Perry
4 out of 5 stars
Matthew Perry’s memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest account of his struggles with addiction, fame, and personal demons. Best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry takes readers on a harrowing journey through his battles with substance abuse, his near-death experiences, and his complicated relationship with Hollywood.
This book is raw and brutally honest, yet Perry’s signature wit makes even the darkest moments compelling. He doesn’t shy away from his worst moments, making this memoir more than just a celebrity tell-all—it’s a cautionary tale, a plea for awareness, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. While some sections feel repetitive due to the cycle of addiction and rehab, Perry’s candid storytelling and heartfelt reflection make this an unforgettable read.
