Naya Rivera Releasing 'Juicy’ Memoir on Failed Romance with Big Sean and Struggling in Hollywood

Listen up. Naya Rivera has something juicy to say.

The 28-year-old "Devious Maids" actress is spilling the beans in a new memoir titled, "Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up." The book will share Rivera's path from "riches to rags and back again," Entertainment Weekly reported.

Rivera first found stardom as a child actress on 1990s sitcoms, including "Family Matters" and "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," but she struggled to find acting jobs later on in her career. In the book, the actress revealed that she worked at Hooters to make ends meet for her entire family before earning her big break as Santana Lopez on FOX's "Glee."

"She's going to be very honest and real. She talks about growing up poor and all the trouble she had when she was younger," a source told E! News about the book. "It's things that a lot of woman can relate to. She talks about having to choose between her career and school and she shares all the crazy jobs she had before landing 'Glee.'"

The book will share behind-the-scenes gossip about "Glee," according to Entertainment Weekly. Rivera, who is often a super private actress, also dishes on the drama surrounding her unexpected breakup from ex-fiancé Big Sean and her secret wedding to husband Ryan Dorsey, with whom she's expecting her first child.

Rivera made the announcement on Twitter Monday, telling her followers, "Can't wait until next spring! So many juicy stories about my life. Glee, guys, growing up & much more. #sorrynotsorry."

Her book will be published by Tarcher, Books, an imprint of Penguin. The publishing company shared in a statement that the book will offer "candid thoughts on topics ranging from dating... to the challenges of being mixed-race in Hollywood."

Rivera's memoir will hit shelves in 2016.
