Summary
From the scene-stealing star of Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids comes a refreshingly candid, hilarious and inspiring book about an unconventional journey to Hollywood success and self-celebration.
For decades, Rebel Wilson single-mindedly focused on her career, forgoing relationships in favour of making a name for herself. In her revealing and authentic memoir, Rebel chronicles the emotional and physical lessons she has learned, as well as her most embarrassing experiences. A malaria-induced Oscars hallucination? An all-style martial-arts fighting tournament? Junior handling at dog shows? And this was all before she moved to Hollywood!
Rebel Rising follows Rebel from her Aussie upbringing as the daughter of parents who sold pet products at dog shows, to making millions as LA’s favourite funny girl, always questioning "Am I good enough?”, "Will I ever find love?" and "Will I ever change and become healthy?". Rebel writes for the first time about the most personal and important moments in her life – from fertility issues, weight gain and loss to sexuality, overcoming shyness and dealing with rejection (and there's at least one story thrown in about Brad Pitt!).
This brave and honest memoir shows us how to love ourselves while always remembering the value of laughing.

Sense of humour
Good humour and nice to see her self pride. Great on how we objectify our bodies and lessons to learn. A bit too much talk of her money and houses but I think that comes from pride. Really don’t like how she makes a joke of her family sending what is clearly a lonely donkey to someone who sent it to a glue factory. Just not funny at all and kind of put me off her. This is still a good read though and the author has clearly faced her own struggles which she articulates well, at a high level.

Her honesty and bravery.
I liked Rebel's ability to clearly articulate her life story, her bravery, and her honesty and she is a great role model. She is a beautiful, talented woman who is achieving so much and represents such a large demographic of women. I thoroughly enjoyed her book as it is helping me through my anxiety it was like listening to a friend.👏

Rebels a fantastic story teller, binge worthy book
I didn’t really know anything about Rebel before reading this other than she is an Australian actor. I just enjoy auto biographies so thought I’d give this a go and I’m glad I did. She has such an interesting life story to tell and isn’t afraid to face into the difficult subjects, its raw, open and honest account of her life and Rebel is a natural narrator too who had me laughing and crying at points. It’s definitely binge worthy I listed to it over a weekend. Would recommend 10/10

Very honest and emotional at times
Rebel read this with gusto. I was able to imagine her reading this as she has done so many movies and she is the same reading this as she is with acting.
Realising how intelligent she is was fascinating to hear her tell of her upheave struggles to be where she is.
Because of her determination she would have excelled at anything she put her mind too.
The redacted bit with SBC, I had to Google to get the context. If true SBC has definitely gone down in my estimations of him.
Loved this book. Great listen and easy listen.
