Real, honest, gracious, hopeful

A wonderful story of a life filled with pain, struggle, incredible highs and devastating lows. So glad that Matthew had the courage to tell it.

Unmissable

Amazing testimonial by one of my childhood “heroes”: now an even bigger hero! Thanks Matthew

Inspiration

Loved, incredible and unbelievable story.
Thank you for surviving Matthew, you always made my life happier with friends. ❤️

honest

I struggled to finish this because the information was so hard for me to digest, as a person who has not experienced most challenges Matty faced. I am grateful for that, and grateful for his honest and letting us in to see and hopeful understand how it all really feels like.

You will be missed, Matthew

I cried, laughed, smiled and cried some more (when I was finished I cried). I read the book whilst listening to him narrating the book himself and it was a beautiful unique experience - getting to hear a voice that has changed my life (thank you chandler) and that I will miss deeply, it was bitter sweet, it hurt but it also warmed my heart. I love how his writing portrays so well how he is and his transparency. His battle was far from easy, I’m impressed with how he did it. I have to say I feel deeply sad he didn’t get his happy ending on earth- but, Matthew, wherever you are, I hope you’re happy and at peace, you’ll always help so many people. Thank you. ❤️

A Truly Good Book

Thankyou for the insights. Never learned so much about addiction and alcoholism before. Also interesting to know a bit more about the person behind the stardom. It’s also funny. What I like the most is that it feels true. No boasting. It’s a matter a fact. Loved the book. Really feel that this is a human being with all its flaws and greatness. The whole spectrum. The meaning is a bit low key. Leaves me as a listener so figure thinks out for myself too. Matthew lives on. Somewhere.

REMARKABLE

Being so honest and changing the view about himself in public it’s incredibly brave…thank you for this book

Poignant listen, brilliant

Heartbreaking story as we know how it ends. So well worth a listen and highly recommended.

Matthew Perry ‘s voice
