Reviews

"Remarkable, startling, and heartfelt...The bravery of Perry's book is not just in what he says, or how he says it, and how unflinching he is in his commitment to say it, but that he chose to say it at all." --GQ

"Candid, darkly funny...starkly chronicling his decades-long cage match with drinking and drug use. Perry writes gratefully and glowingly...fans will find poignant nuggets in its pages." --The New York Times

"A heartbreakingly beautiful memoir." --People

"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." --Marta Kauffman, co-creator of the NBC sitcom Friends
