booklistqueen 's review for:
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
by Matthew Perry
funny
reflective
sad
medium-paced
Known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, at one point, Matthew Perry had the number one tv show and movie at the same time. Yet, while his career was hitting a high, Perry struggled through some of his darkest days. In this candid memoir, Perry discusses his lifelong battle with addiction and the persistence, hope, and friends who helped him along the way.
Perry's memoir gives you a powerfully intimate look at addiction and its overwhelming power. You can really feel Perry's pain as he constantly tries to escape the feeling of never being enough that drives him throughout his whole life. Yet, the nonlinear timeline made the disjointed narrative hard to follow and I was glad I didn't listen to the audio version.
