Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry

BATB score: 7/10 💊

Best to: know that Matthew Perry is no Chandler Bing; what we saw was perfect acting that everything is alright and that’s how addiction is epic scary because you never truly know what any of us is really going through

BATB lingering thought: I really hope that Matthew Perry finds a glimpse of joy of being enough and gets to experience simple happiness in his retired years; you know how you are known for that one thing? even though you have done many things? And that one thing will always be what you are recognized for forever? Yeah, it sucks.

Best as: okay his writing is redundant and is more like ranting; he is full of himself, self-centered, and ungrateful but he is suffering; definitely not the best sharing/encouraging/supporting memoir but to be able to open up and share your big terrible thing is already huge

Best for: fan clubs of Chandler Bing - you love him more and you shall re-watch all episodes of FRIENDS including the REUNION

Best quotes: “I think you actually have to have all of your dreams come true to realize they are the wrong dreams.”

“It’s like I have a gun in my mouth with my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the metal.”

BATB fun fact: did you know that each of the FRIENDS actors received 1.1M USD per FRIENDS episode?! 💰
