If I booked the role, it would be really awesome to be able to combine the two things I loved the most, but that was a big “if.” I’d gotten really familiar with “if” over the last few years and wasn’t counting on anything anymore. Annoying errand aside, it did seem like one of the cooler auditions I’d been to in a long time because it involved singing. This wasn’t super surprising, because at this point in my career, I hated auditions (still do, actually), but this one also involved driving out to a music store in Van Nuys to buy sheet music. WHEN I AUDITIONED for Glee, I was annoyed. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Getting my financial disasters out of the way early-before I was married or had a family-so that the only credit score that I wrecked was my own.Įven with a successful career and a family that she loves more than anything else, Naya says, "There's still a thirteen-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 thirteen-year-old in all of us. Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day. That I don't always get along with everyone. Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them. At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along-we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side. All those times I scrawled "I HATE MY MOM" in my journal.

After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, 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: 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. 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.

Funny and deeply personal, Sorry Not Sorry recounts Glee star Naya Rivera's successes and missteps, urging young women to pursue their dreams and to refuse to let past mistakes define them.
