The whole book is paradoxical. It's gut-wrenching yet heart-warming. It's devastating yet hilarious. It hurts my heart that Perry won't be able to continue on his journey of sobriety. He had so much to offer the world, and I'm glad he was able to leave a mark on it in more ways than one.

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.
