I'll Be There For You: The ultimate book for Friends fans everywhere
Kelsey Miller

‘Funny, enlightening and incredibly well-researched’ Emerald StreetOver twenty years since its low-profile debut and Friends is as enduringly popular as ever. But has it stood the test of time? Are some parts of it more problematic than we remember? And who was the cast’s least favourite guest star?Join Kelsey Miller as she answers all of these questions and more. And as she relives the show’s most iconic moments, examines some of its controversies, and shines a light on the many trends it inspired – from oversized coffee cups to the much-copied 90s haircut, ‘The Rachel’.Weaving incisive commentary, revelatory interviews and behind-the-scenes anecdotes involving high-profile guest stars, I’ll Be There for You is the most comprehensive take on Friends yet, and the ultimate book for fans everywhere.
