Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir

Matthew Perry has always been one of my most favourite actors. His character on Friends, Chandler always drew me to him with his ability to make a joke out of everything, including his trauma. Reading this memoir showed me that Matthew is just like Chandler in that regard and it felt so refreshing and real to read.

“Addiction is like the Joker. It just wants to see the whole world burn.”

This was heartbreaking to read but as someone who has struggled with addiction, this meant something very special to me. I am so proud of how far Matthew has come.
