My heart hurt while listening to this book. Listening to Matt struggle his entire life and how hopeful he was by the end makes his passing even more sad. The world lost a good one.

Heartbreaking to hear everything he went through and how it clearly had affected him. I bought this book last year and finally started it not long after his passing. RIP Matthew.

I struggled following along on the timeline of this one but what an eye opening glimpse into addiction.

This story was truly heart breaking. Unfortunately the book itself was hard to follow and all over the place and out of order, very poorly written.

Ludicrous. Even listening to Perry read this garbage didn’t make it easier. An ultra-rich person who is gifted with comedic talent is propped up by society so he can continue to make people laugh. Drink. Drug. Rehab. Rinse. Repeat.

Sad and disappointingly self-pitying, in spite of how much insight it gave me into the process and pain of breaking an addiction

3.5/5 stars

I think it's hard to write about addiction. For the assumed honesty where it pertains to Matthew Perry's immense struggles, feelings of abandonment, addictions, substance abuse and shame, 5 stars. If you are not reading this book with Chandler's voice in your head, dripping with sarcasm at all the right parts, you are not reading it right. He is a smart, funny man and a Canadian gem. I would have loved for there to be more obvious timelines throughout the book. We seemed to jump back and forth through the years without clarity, which was often confusing. I also found there to be a lot of repetition. Editing issues, we can deal with that. If you are a fan of FRIENDS and a fan of this man, read the book.
