Reading this after Matthew Perry has passed is very eerie.
I’m not a Friends Fangirl. But I did enjoy this memoir.
I found myself having second hand embarrassment so often. His self depreciation sense of humor is funny, ironic and sad. He’s so self aware of his issues thanks to all of his stints in rehab and therapy. It makes for a very blatantly honest memoir.
