Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing: 'Funny, fascinating and compelling' The Times

So many of us have binge-watched every episode of Friends over and over again. From Ross and Rachel's first kiss to Chandler being locked in a box for kissing Joey's girlfriend, every episode had us hooked. We each had an affinity with the characters within the show and felt like we knew them. They were the funny, carefree, bunch of friends we all wanted to know.

Matthew Perry is the incredible actor that brought to life Chandler Bing, the funny, witty, and often goofy character that lived across the hall from Rachel and Monica. Every one of his scenes had us in stitches but it wasn't until the reunion show that we realised that Matthew was dealing with struggles of his own while filming those incredible scenes.

Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is a moving memoir of his life, struggles with addiction, and being catapulted to dizzy stardom as Friends became the most successful sitcom of all time. He takes us on a journey in this candid, funny, and revealing memoir that delivers vivid detail about living with addiction, what fuelled it and how he managed to hide it whilst seemingly having all.

Moving, hilarious and unforgettable, Matthew Perry shares his most intimate moments from his darkest days, the friends that pulled him through, and the loves he lost along the way.
