Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

Lea Michele is one of the hardest-working performers in show business. Whether she’s starring as Rachel Berry on Glee, rocking a glamorous look on the red carpet, recording her solo album, or acting as the spokesperson for L’Oreal, Lea is the ultimate multi-tasker. She knows better than anyone that it is difficult to be your best self and keep things in perspective when your to-do list is overflowing and you are faced with challenges, so she’s developed a foolproof system for remaining healthy and centered.

Publisher's Summary
Navigating through youth and young adulthood isn't easy, and in Sorry Not Sorry, Naya Rivera shows us that we're not alone in the highs, lows, and in-betweens. Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over - or plod through - all the crap along the way.
After her rise and fall from childhood stardom on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Family Matters, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on Glee, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons. Even with a successful career and a family that she loves more than anything else, Naya says, "There's still a 13-year-old girl inside of me making detailed lists of how I can improve, who's never sure of my own self-worth." Sorry Not Sorry is for that 13-year-old in all of us.

One of the best biographies!!
I bought the audio book last year and coming back to it after she passed gave me a new perspective. She is such an iconic person and the stories she tells in this book are incredible. Hearing her tell her story is captivating and inspiring from beginning to end. I’m honestly thinking of buying a physical copy because it’s that good. Just do yourself a favour and buy this book.

Incredible
After Nayas passing I found myself feeling sort of lost, she was such a huge part of my life growing up watching glee. Listening to her read her life story gave me a feeling of closeness to her and closure. I never knew her but now I feel like I do in some way. It was a warm story that taught me important lessons and made her seems so much more real and made me appreciate the woman she was. All in all it was a phenomenal book and I am forever thankful that I got to hear it.

So good, too short
Loved hearing Naya's story in Naya's voice. It was honest, entertaining, charming, and I took my time with it so it wasn't over too soon; yet, when that short five hours and forty five minutes were up, I was reminded that her life, too, was all too short. I was sad that it was over, yet so glad that she wrote it AND narrated it. I even listened to her lovely voice reading the publishing information at the end. Strong recommendation.

Loved everything about it, after her death I needed something, something like closure and this was definitely it
I loved everything about this book, hearing her talk about herself was great, she was funny, straight up, one of the most realist people I know. The book she had written had made me realize that, other people have problems too, it’s not just me, that god has a plan for each of us. Thank you Naya Rivera, I love you. Rest In Peace.

Love It!
I'm a huge Glee fan, which in turn, makes me a Naya fan. I thought her book was wonderful, and she gave an excellent performance reading it. If there was anything I could change, I just wished she dished more gossip about Glee, the actors, and the set. Otherwise, I give it 5 stars.

what a waste of a credit
What would have made Sorry Not Sorry better?
A little more humility. She brags so hard that it was painful to listen to, especially during her child-actor years. I was hoping this would be a deeper exploration into her upbringing and that she had somehow overcome HUGE odds and it might make me think that she's more than just a bland actress. Not so much, she's just a normal girl thinking she's really got talent. I wish I hadn't spent a credit on this, or that I'd contributed to her big headed idea that she's somehow still relevant. I'm all for confidence, but there should be more self-awareness.
What could Naya Rivera have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
She made mistakes in her youth. I get it, we all make mistakes. But the way she describes them and the way she overcame them is like she's the first one to ever make them and like she's giving us these amazing revelations/answers. These are the same mistakes that teenagers and young adults have been making for a veryyyy long time. She's not more special for them, just because she was a child actress. She's not even particularly brilliant in her revelations. You managed money poorly. You were broke. You were in debt. With some advice from your parents, you got out of debt. You learned a lesson. Whoop whoop. Many of us have been there too, and you don't see us writing books about it.
Any additional comments?
The only redeeming piece of the book was when she was describing her abortion and the difficulty of it. It was the first point in the book where it felt like she was relatable and I really felt like she had been through something tragic.

I got this book after Naya’s tragic passing. Hearing her voice was haunting and beautiful and helped me mourn and process the loss. This book is funny and insightful about life, growing up, the industry, and god. I’m so happy to have been a fan of Naya. May she rest in paradise. We love you forever Naya❤️

Great Book
Really enjoyed it! This book is mainly to get to know who Naya Rivera really is. it talks about her growing up and becoming the woman that she really is today. If you really want to get a better perspective of who the actresses in real life then I really recommend this book! Reading about her experience and about her life, does indeed resonate with one's self is some ways. Therefore, making one see that a star or celebrity and also have many things in their life very relatable to someone who is not a celebrity.

A glimpse into Naya’s mind and strength
She was curious, honest, determined, and oh, so strong! What a wonderful insight into Naya Rivera the daughter, sister, friend, wife, and mother. Fly high beautiful. There were moments I cried intensely when listening to her describe her devotion to her faith - never beseeching her higher power, but always grateful and receptive to what was ahead, trusting fully that it was predestined for her no matter where it led. The tears are unavoidable when she describes her bond with her mother and her desire to offer so much more to her son and possible future children.
I bought this book because I was heartbroken by her untimely death. I wanted to feel close to the woman so many who knew her, describe in such loving admiration. I was a HUGE glee fan and she was my favorite.
You are and always be a star beautiful Naya.

Nice but not one of the best in this genre
I'm a Gleek and I usually enjoy celebrities' books, but this one is not my favourite. I was moved by the part where is opened up about her abortion.
