Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

Experience the raw, unfiltered, and deeply moving story of Matthew Perry in Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing Morocco edition, available exclusively at Mabooko. In this instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, the actor known to the world as Chandler Bing peels back the curtain on his life, delivering a memoir that is intimate, eye-opening, and essential reading for fans and anyone touched by the struggles of addiction.

The Memoir Behind the Laughter

“Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty.” With this iconic opening, Perry invites readers into his confidence, shedding the celebrity persona to reveal the vulnerable man underneath. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is not just a celebrity tell-all; it is a survival story.

The narrative spans his entire life, beginning with his childhood as a “latchkey kid” traveling unaccompanied between his separated parents in Montreal and Los Angeles. It follows his rise as a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada and his desperate prayer to God for fame—a prayer that was answered when he was cast in a pilot originally called Friends Like Us. However, alongside the glitz of Hollywood premieres and million-dollar paychecks, Perry details the creeping shadow of loneliness and the void that no amount of applause could fill.

A Raw Look at Addiction and Recovery

What sets this book apart is Perry’s unflinching honesty about “The Big Terrible Thing”—his euphemism for the addiction that nearly cost him his life. He writes candidly about his visits to rehabilitation centers, his multiple surgeries, and the time he spent two weeks in a coma with a two percent chance of survival.

Readers in Morocco will find his resilience inspiring. Perry details the physical and mental toll of taking fifty-five Vicodin a day and the terrifying reality of balancing a public image of sarcasm and wit while privately fighting for his life. His story serves as a beacon of hope, de-stigmatizing addiction and offering a hand to anyone struggling with sobriety. It is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure and find peace amidst chaos.

Life on the Set of Friends

For fans of the sitcom that defined a generation, this memoir offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes. Perry shares heartwarming and heartbreaking anecdotes about his castmates—Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer. He reveals who reached out when he was at his lowest and how the cast banded together to support him during his darkest filming days.

He explains how his own personality bled into the character of Chandler Bing, changing the way sitcoms were written forever. Yet, he also discusses the pain of not being able to watch the show because he can tell exactly which substance he was abusing in each season based on his appearance. It is a bittersweet tribute to the show that gave him everything, and the cost he paid to keep everyone laughing.
