Přátelé, lásky a ten ohromný průšvih by Matthew Perry

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

 Matthew Perry is extremely vulnerable, yet hopeful in his memoir where he recounts his history of addiction and journey to sobriety. I enjoyed listening to him tell his own story and being very real, not sugar coating anything. I did find the flashbacks/interludes confusing as I sometimes lost track of whether we were in the present day or looking back.

challenging dark informative reflective slow-paced

I feel a little mixed on this book. It was honest and informative and I loved his attitude. He spoke plainly but with grace about people and situations that have hurt him, but also took full responsibility for his actions. I really respected that
It just felt a little disorganized to me, like it was hard to know when something was happening in the timeline. I also have a hard time connecting with the “hope-filled conclusions” that are always the bookend to when people tell their life story. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m just not a memoir person. 
Either way, I’m glad I read it and I see the value in this book. I think it’s just subjectively not the type of thing I like to read, I guess.
