This book has been sitting on my shelf for awhile. After hearing about his passing I decided that the best way to pay tribute was to finally read it.
This book is an emotional roller-coaster. It is raw, truthful and makes you reflect on areas of your own life at the same time.
The biggest takeaway of this book has to be that no matter what you're going through, you are never alone. Don't be afraid to reach out for help and check up on those around you.
Rest in peace Matthew Perry. I hope God is treating you well after that pact.

It just felt a little disorganized to me, like it was hard to know when something was happening in the timeline. I also have a hard time connecting with the “hope-filled conclusions” that are always the bookend to when people tell their life story. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m just not a memoir person.
Either way, I’m glad I read it and I see the value in this book. I think it’s just subjectively not the type of thing I like to read, I guess.
