I love friends so this book was a great recap of some of my favorite moments. I wish there was more commentary on the behind the scenes moments, as that is what I expected the entire book to be about. There was a lot of commentary, but the bull of the book is just recaps of some of the episodes.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I decided to read it season by season and then watch that particular season on DVD, looking out for all the spoilers, Easter eggs, and other trivia that I learned. This book had me laughing, crying, and reminiscing over a show I have watched all the way through 16 times. This 17th time was like watching it with new eyes after reading the inside scoop in advance. Off to watch the tenth season now!

While I can't compare this book to any of the others that came out about Friends in 2019, I can say that I really enjoyed this! The bulk of this book is going through several episodes per season, giving a synopsis, and then providing a few insider facts. I enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with the synopses, although they weren't 100% necessary for someone like me who has seen the series several times. I did enjoy the clarifications that were made on time-sensitive jokes that have always gone over my head, though! The bulk of the insider information can be found at the front and back of the book, which discusses the characters' casting, how the show came about, and much more. I learned a lot of cool things from this book and thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but I would have liked even more inside information and thoughts straight from the cast.
