A review by krysteldallas
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
4.0
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.
