Who ever the editor is for this book should look for a new profession. If I have to be told one more time that he is the funniest person in the room at any point and how many girls he shagged in California in the 90s and 00s one more time I will scream.
There is absolutely no timeline to follow, you just get random stories with no context, good luck trying to figure out what year we are in at any point.
I just wanted to find out a bit of behind the scenes stuff about friends and a bit about his struggle with addiction, but instead I got to learn that when he got sober he used to go to clubs to pick up girls because being sober was more attractive to them at 2am? What the fuck?

I have watched Friends 6 times or more already (Yes, all of the episodes, including the reunion), and I loved Chandler Bing the most, the Chan Chan man who is awkward and jokes when uncomfortable. I liked that Chandler was a bit based on Matthew IRL; it gave me an idea of who he was. I just loved that he was perfect for the role. Friends wouldn't be the same without your sweater vests in it. Haha! Peace!
I have to be honest; this story was hard to read because of the big terrible thing. It made me sad that a person went through hell so much. It must be so painful.
I'm glad he was still alive because Matty is brilliant (See some of the Friends' jokes by him for proof). He needs to write more stuff because he is super funny; his jokes need an audience.
P. S.
Fame is something, huh? It costs a lot more than we realized. And wow, Matty's voice on the audiobook helped so much with the texts.
