Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry

emotional funny hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

It’s a bit chaotic but that makes sense given the content. Reading this after his death makes it all the more heartbreaking but it’s a very honest telling of his life and struggles with addiction.

Predictable but in a good way. Although these two girls kinda have the worst luck in life which seems unfair.

Also after all the drama with Olive’s family it would have been nice to get some closure on that

I like how you jump around to so many different POVs it can make it a little confusing but after meeting all the characters it’s pretty easy to follow along. 
I did figure out the twist a little more than halfway through but a lot happened after that made me doubt myself and second guess.

Not as rom-commy as the others is the series and the danger felt resolved very easily compared to ones in the past.
