Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible ThingIn an extraordinary story that only he could tell, Matthew Perry takes readers onto the soundstage of the most successful sitcom of all time while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. Candid, self aware, and told with his trademark humour, Perry vividly details his lifelong battle with the disease and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all. 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing' is an unforgettable memoir that shares

While the last remaining Jews are being hunted in The Netherlands

a young woman in her twenties

March 1945

and the devastating consequences of refusing to let go of the past

In our most extreme moments

insists she should marry and be ‘ordinary’ folk

we see what we need in order to survive

honing his prescriptions all the time

With one fearsome piece of water separating her from completion of the Circle

a single dad of a teenage girl with Down syndrome

The heartwarming story of a robin adopted by a family of mice
