Throughout his memoir we get bits a pieces of his experience as an actor and writer, with some classic Perry humor, and of course, some insight to our favorite show, Friends. But more importantly we hear about his endless struggle with mental health, addiction, and the fear of abandonment.
I feel inspired and heartbroken for people that struggle as Matthew Perry did. I was actually brought to tears several times throughout this book. After his passing, it is hard to read this, but important insight if you have anyone in your life that also struggles with addiction.
Only giving it 4/5 stars, because it was very non-linear. The timeline was back and forth throughout the entire book, making it a little hard to follow chronologically. However, I don’t think it bothered me that much, because I was so engrossed with his story and experiences.
Ending the book, he finds his voice, his truth, and his courage. He never gave up, emboldened to share his story. And that is something.
I hope he found peace and joy in his life, allowing himself to love and be loved, free from fear.
Rest in peace, Matthew Perry 🫶🏼🕊️
