Kelly Osbourne may not always have been a typical role model, but no one can say that her perspective isn’t hard won after spending three decades in the spotlight: from growing up completely exposed to the heavy metal scene—replete with crazy antics most readers have only begun to hear about—to spending her teenage years as the wild middle child of an even wilder Ozzy Osbourne, to the family’s popular stint on their wacky eponymous reality show. Since then, Osbourne has forged her own path as a style icon and powerful woman in the media who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and be honest with her fans. But being the daughter of a music legend hasn’t always been glamorous; growing up Osbourne is an experience that Kelly wouldn’t trade, but there are battle scars, and she is finally now ready to embrace and reveal their origins.
Told as a series of letters to various people and places in her life, There Is No F*cking Secret gives readers an intimate look at the stories and influences that have shaped Osbourne’s highly speculated-about life, for better or for worse. The stories will make readers’ jaws drop, but ultimately, they will come away empowered to forge their own path to confidence, no matter how deranged and out of control it may be, and to learn the ultimate lesson: that there just is no f*cking secret.

For Osbourne (Fierce), there are no secrets to living one’s life other than being comfortable with oneself and, perhaps more importantly, being a badass when warranted. Osbourne, eager to both come out from under her famous parents’ shadows (her father is Ozzy Osbourne) and celebrate her nontraditional upbringing, structures this mostly successful and often powerful memoir in the form of letters to her parents, her inner filter (or lack thereof), and drug addictions. Fans wondering what it was like to grow up the daughter of heavy metal royalty should look elsewhere for sordid stories. This isn’t a tell-all. Osbourne is candid about her father’s addictions and the fact that she loves him in spite of it, and her terror over possibly losing her mother, Sharon, to cancer is palpable. Her trademark humor and coarse language are always in evidence, even when she’s discussing the bleakest of subjects, and this approach transforms what could have been just another celebrity story into something much more triumphant. Osbourne isn’t perfect and she isn’t trying to be; instead, she’s honest about her faults and victories, something much more difficult to pull off.
