I HIGHLY recommend Naya Rivera’s (Santana) memoir. I actually stumbled across the audiobook version. She actually voices the book herself. Her sarcasm is hilarious. It will give you juicy details from glee you want. Recommend 10/10. Felt like a friend telling me juicy gossip but then a tinge of sadness knowing she’s no longer with us

[@papl20]

I was about to say this! Naya's book was actually kinda good, fun, her narration was A+. Miss that girl.

[@IHARumor]

I also randomly stumbled across the audiobook version, a few months after she had passed. Listened to it in almost one go. Such a good read/listen. I never much cared or knew much about Naya when she was alive (I mean, I was sad when she died but I was mostly indifferent to her) but after reading/hearing her memoir I really started appreciating her and started seeing what a wonderful human being she was. It genuinely made me mourn her, it felt like I lost a friend.

The line at the end about the “middle finger to the lady that told me to get a nose job” is interesting considering she’s now the face of the buccal fat removal trend.

I know this comment is 1 year old but the nose comment from that lady is racially charged. Buccal fat removal is not removing a feature considered a feature of a race. Not that I think either procedure is good or necessary for her

[@VampireNinjaBunnies]

I'm not sure that really happened. I mean she absolutely adores Barbara Streisand and emulates her. And that is legitimately something Barbara was told to do and refused to do. And it feels more like her co-opting parts of Barbara's story etc.
