I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The writing felt chaotic and disorganized, with short "scenes" that barely covered a topic before moving on to the next. While the story was somewhat linear, given the vast timeline Perry covers (from childhood to present day), he fails to delve deeply into any specific period. For example, he discusses shooting season 4 of Friends, but then suddenly the show is ending.
Additionally, Perry frequently name-drops other celebrities, but doesn't provide any substantial insight into his relationships with them. While it's his memoir and he can write as he pleases, in the final chapter, he lists off names without much purpose. For instance, he describes Barack Obama as "the smartest man he's ever spoken to," but fails to explain why that detail is significant to his story.
