"[A] remarkable, startling, and heartfelt memoir..." -- GQ " Candid, darkly funny ...starkly chronicling his decades-long cage match with drinking and drug use.

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.

Synopsis
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The BELOVED STAR OF FRIENDS takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this "CANDID, DARKLY FUNNY...POIGNANT" memoir ( The New York Times ) A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK by Time , Associated Press, Goodreads, USA Today , and more! "Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty." So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who traveled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us . . . and so much more. 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. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening--as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

    Excellent example of an eBay seller. Great communication, items are shipped at lightning speed. Always arrive well within estimated delivery date. Items are extremely well packaged, which meant that when the courier left my parcel out in the pouring rain, my book and pictures were in pristine condition, completely dry and were exactly as described. The prices are a huge bonus too. I highly recommend this seller. Thank you!!

    Easy read. Sad Matthew succumbed to his demons.

    Such a shame that a year after this book came out Matthew was using again and died from an overdose. Book is an easy read— sounds like you are just having a conversation with him

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

    Mr. Perry did every US family a great service with this candid glimpse into his life as an addict fighting to get the bear off of his back. Heartbreaking that he died before realizing how important sharing his story is to so many.

    I could not put this book down. It amazes me that his acting was as good as it was considering his addiction. His story reminds me that you never know what is going on behind closed doors.

    I like the title. It speaks of his struggles.

    Love the book, it's an excellent read. Always like the "Friends" star and so sad that he's gone.
