Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up Kindle Edition

Although I’ve never met Naya Rivera her death is hitting me very hard. I just feel that she was taken too early and she had a lot left to do. It’s sad and scary and part of me still thinks it’s not real. I feel for her son, her ex husband, her parents and siblings. I think it’s very courageous of her to use her last breath and bit of strength to make sure her son was ok. Part of me regrets reading this book because theyre are so many references to a long life filled with more children and grandchildren. Its so sad that she will never get to live that life. Reading this book did make me feel closer to her and its very funny and real. Just be aware that you’ll feel some kind of way while reading it considering that she is no longer with us😢

I adored reading from her perspective and now finishing when this dramatic, horrific ending happens for her....im just terrified and horrified for her foremost and her family. I adore her, she's BEYOND gorgeous and so incredibly talented and the whit and charm she exudes is wonderful. I cry thinking of what she went thru and now what her family lives with. It's just a nightmare. Much much love to her family.

Good read. I could not put it down. Her death is sad and breaks my heart and I wanted to know more about her. To read her life story (ups and downs) coupled with her tragic death is heart wrenching. We should all follow our dreams and Naya did that. She kept pressing forward no matter the hurdles she faced as her mom encouraged her when she wanted to throw it all in.We all must LIVE each moment as if it was our last as we never know. Prayers to Naya’s family and son. I too was a small child (5) when my mom tragically died. My mom also saved me (would not let me go on our daily bike ride this specific day). God had a plan. It still breaks my heart 45 years later that my mom tragically died. Naya also saved her son. Continue to nurture, hug, and cover her son;Josey, with the undying love she had for him. Thinking of Naya. Praying for the family.

I found a lot of myself within a lot of moments in this book. Naya Rivera opens herself in a raw way that gains major respect and admiration. She digs deep allowing you into her beautiful and crazy life of being human. This was definitely a page turner with the witty one-liners and great story telling. Her life has so many layers for anyone to relate to. Not only could you see Rivera grow as a human right before your eyes (through her eyes) but this book also gives you the chance to reflect on your own life. This book was written with a lot of love and gratitude which you feel for yourself in the end.

“Even in my worst moments, I had to trust that God had a plan for me. I might make mistakes, but He doesn’t.”I have not watched one episode of Glee at all. The years that it aired on TV was my early 20’s where I was all over the place and not stable/able enough to sit down and watch anything. Will I watch it now? Yes, especially after reading her book. Especially after listening to her truth and how she explains her authentic faith in God!I enjoyed reading about her early years of being thrust into the entertainment business at only a few months old, to wincing at her pain when she had to return to a regular life in grade school, to giving up ever acting again, to being open and honest about those few years after high school before the fame as she dodged the sketchy Southern California streets. To getting her life together, fixing up her credit, completing a film course in NYC all by herself away from home and giving acting one more try after her mind was set against it...which led to her big breakthrough.She speaks with genuine love, care and honest reflection on every person/situation she’s ever encountered. To hear her speak on racial issues in 2016 gives you an eerie chill, because of what’s happening in 2020.I love how she dispelled all the rumors and exposed the truth behind the tabloid features regarding her. When you actually hear her side, you are happy for her and admire that she didn’t need to defend herself back then. I’m glad I read her book. I pray for God to always be with her family!

After Naya`s tragic accident, I wanted to read about her life. As a big fan if her character Santana, it was good to get an insight of who Naya really was and what a great honest woman she was too. It was a tough read at moments but really glad that I finished the book. I just wish she would be here to write another book when she is 85 as she said.

I loved beautiful Naya on Glee! She was my favourite character, interesting to see where she came from and all the set backs she made it into a positive and turned her life around. A lot of people don't know she was around for a long time before Glee I remember watching her on sister sister and b2k's music video before reading her book, she also was nominated and won many awards ashame another famous young life gone so tragically...can not imagine her mother's pain. Interesting read bought it on kindle. However her death has popped questions into my head before she was heading out to the boat at the lake she looked very distressed. RIP beautiful I hope she has found peace now

I don't really like reading as I find it boring but this book is amazing it talks about her child hood vry deeply and u feel really connected to naya she is incredible and bonus it cane 4 days early. Such a treasure if u look at the photo u can see I'm a real gleek anyone should read it I extremely recommended

Very enjoyable read, not at all what I was expecting.So many child stars struggle when they get older the roles are harder to come by and we have seen so many of them self destruct as a result.This book is a very honest and open reflection on how hard those struggles can be.From the difficulties integrating at school, through financial strain and relationship woes , the story is hard at times.However each struggle is countered by tales of rebirth , reinvigoration and rejuvenation that are inspiring and heart warming.I was expecting , like many Im guessing, that this book would be a bit of a bitch fest but it really isnt and the author deserves huge credit for that because Im sure it would have been really easy to write that book.Instead we get a young womans very real tale of the highs and lows of life growing up both inside and outside of the Hollywood spotlight.

I absolutely loved reading Naya’s Book! She truly is an inspiration, she really did go through a lot and she is definitely someone to look up to! Such a shame that shes not around to write another book, but this one is definitely worth the read! Amazing☺️RIP Naya❤️
