About this listen

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.

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.
