I don’t even know where to start with this one. I wanted to read Matthew Perry’s memoir as a @friends fan, but also to learn more about his challenges with addiction. Perry is beyond honest in this book- he is brutal at times and it makes for a heartbreaking read.
Everyone knew in the 90s that “Chandler was in rehab”, but the book explores so much more than that. It’s an uncomfortable read at times, due to Perry’s transparency. I’m sat here, 20 minutes after completing the book, and I still can’t fully articulate my feelings. I do know I want to reach out and hug Matthew Perry, at all moments of his life, and tell him to be more compassionate towards himself.
I have no critique. I think this book is highly significant whether you’re a fan of that little show, Friends, or whether you want more understanding into addiction.
Starting the year on a very strong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
