Omschrijving
The extraordinarily open and honest autobiography of acclaimed Friends star Matthew Perry.
Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing is a raw, unflinching memoir that took courage to write. As it turns out, Matthew Perry has a lot of courage. He takes us through his addiction, his illness and his paralyzing loneliness. Somehow, during the course of his life, Matthew was able to turn his pain into comedic joy for others, but, he tells us, it was at a cost. Matthew takes us through his "hell" but doesn't wallow. Ultimately, this book is filled with hope for the future. If you want to know about who Matthew Perry is, stay away from the rags and read this.
There's never been a more honest or raw memoir . . . and it may just save lives
Funny, fascinating, compelling . . . also a wonderful read for fans of Friends
Harrowing and revealing about the juncture where extreme compound addiction collides with mega-celebrity
An unflinching and often harrowing must-read for 90s pop culture fans
Written with Chandler's trademark sarcasm and self-deprecation
A hopeful read . . . I started to think of [it] not as a celebrity memoir about addiction, but as an addiction memoir written by a man who understands his own history through the prism of showbiz
