Description
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.

Gosh. When Matthew Perry said that he incorporated bits of himself into the role of Chandler Bing, he was so under exaggerating. Not just the sarcasm, not just the failure at women, not just the smoking (good God, the smoking), but, man, every bit of Bing goes a long way from the mind of Matthew. How he managed to take the stage every episode for 10 years and be completely “ON” will leave you absolutely stunned. And make him even more of a comedic genius than he already was. Because aside from his appearance (in his own words, skinny meant pills, fat meant booze) it would be virtually unnoticeable as his performances were never affected.
