‘You’ll laugh and you’ll cry – I know I did’ – Matthew Perry introduces his intimate and eye-opening autobiography Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
More about the book!

Matthew Perry’s autobiography Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing is out now from Jonathan Ball Publishers.

The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.

Perry takes 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 travelled 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.

‘You’ll laugh and you’ll cry – I know I did,’ Perry says. ‘I can’t wait to hear what you think.’
