Synopsis

From the scene-stealing star of Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids comes a “lively and reflective celebrity memoir seasoned with comedy and sincerity” (Kirkus Reviews) about Rebel Wilson’s unconventional journey to Hollywood success and loving herself.

This “beautiful, brave book,” (Jenna Bush Hager, Today) is the story of Rebel Wilson’s remarkable personal transformation, from a painfully shy child in Australia who literally had to be dragged to drama classes to achieving breakout success in the US through iconic roles in Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Isn’t It Romantic.

Through “stunningly personal revelations” (The New York Times), Rebel shares the extraordinary experiences that shaped her life. A malaria-induced hallucination? An all-style martial arts fighting tournament? Junior handling at dog shows? And this was all BEFORE she moved to Hollywood!

From her painful relationship with her father, weight gain and loss, a late-in-life sexual awakening, and fertility issues, Rebel shares her incredible journey to self-love in writing that is “frank and fun” (CBS Sunday Morning). Rebel leads you through her hard-fought path to “making it,” constantly questioning, “Am I good enough? Will I ever find love? Will I ever change and become healthy?”

This extraordinarily entertaining memoir shows us how to love ourselves while making us laugh uncontrollably.

The Good: I enjoyed the first half of the book, where we learn about Rebel growing up in Australia, her year abroad in South Africa, and her early career before she hit it big. Of course, there were some signs that Rebel is a little out of touch with what it means to be poor. She went to a costly all......more

Maybe not everyone needs a memoir 😬......more

Profoundly unfunny and surprisingly uninteresting. I had high expectations for Rebel Rising by Rebel Wilson. First of all, it's Pride month, and I wanted to support a queer actress (YAS) and hear more about her coming out story. I figured it would be funny and charming, and an entertaining listen.

Goodreads review by Ashley on April 05, 2024

I'm a fan of celebrity memoirs more than I am necessarily a fan of RW. This book started off slow with her talking about her childhood and although I was interested I was still a bit bored. However by the time we get into her career, romance and eventually welcoming a child I was hooked. A beautiful......more
