Story4 out of 5 stars 73
In September 1994, six friends sat down in their favorite coffee shop and began bantering about sex, relationships, jobs, and just about everything else. A quarter of a century later, new fans are still finding their way into the lives of Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler, Monica, and Phoebe, and thanks to the show’s immensely talented creators, its intimate understanding of its youthful audience, and its reign during network television’s last moment of dominance, Friends has become the most influential and beloved show of its era, and this is the story of how it all happened.

An enjoyable recap
Reviewed: 06-27-23
As an ardent Friends fan, I loved the insights and behind the scenes portions. However, the recap / replay portions were a bit tedious to get through. While I understand the possible importance of having them in place to give flavor to the backstage descriptions, I found myself wanting to skip past them, since I pretty much have the show memorized. A great book for someone less familiar with the show who wants to understand why it is such a big deal.
