In 2023 we lost a friend. In October Friends star Matthew Perry passed away. Luckily before he met his demise he shared his highs and lows in his own memoir which was published in 2022. Once news of his passing spread, many began quoting his book in magazine articles and social media posts. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir is a great gift for any Friends fan or loved one struggling with addiction.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell—and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it—Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true.
But he also details the peace he’s found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humor, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all.
