The book currently on the cusp of taking the world by storm, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, began on the Notes app on Matthew Perry’s phone. That’s where the Friends star started laying out his life story, as he told The New York Times recently. And eventually, those tapped-out notes coalesced into a memoir, the proposal for which impressed Megan Lynch, senior vice president at Flatiron Books.“There was a real voice to it,” Lynch said to the Times. “It was clear that he was going to share intimate details not just about his time on the show but about his entire life, and that felt revelatory.” Flatiron is releasing the book on Tuesday, November 1, and already-published excerpts from the book are revelatory indeed.

Exclusive: Matthew Perry is to lift the lid on his life and career in an autobiography.
Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan, won the worldwide rights in a major overnight pre-empt – essentially taking the book off the table ahead of an auction – with a deal in the mid-seven figure range.
The untitled memoir will be published in fall 2022.
Perry is best known as one of the stars of Friends, where he played Chandler Bing. He recently reunited with the cast for HBO Max’s Friends: The Reunion.
In the book, Perry will take readers behind-the-scenes and onto the soundstage of the sitcom while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. It is set to be a candid and self-aware book told with his trademark humor, with Perry vividly detailing his lifelong battle with the disease and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all.
