Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing

Description

Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
A raw, candid memoir from the actor best known as Chandler Bing on Friends. Perry traces his journey from childhood—moving between Montreal and Los Angeles, raised by separated parents—to superstardom and the personal battles that followed. He opens up about his long struggle with addiction (alcohol, painkillers, sleep issues), a near-death health crisis, and the scars (both visible and not) left by fame. Alongside these struggles, there are moments of hope: sobriety, close friendships, love, and gratitude for the show that made him famous. It’s heartfelt, often funny in his irreverent style, but unflinching in facing what many avoid.
