cover blurb - From the scene stealing star of Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids comes a refreshingly candid, hilarious, and inspiring book about her unconventional journey to Hollywood success and loving herself.
Rebel Rising by Rebel Wilson is an excellent memoir. I felt, as I read it, that she was just hanging out on the patio and talking to me. Quite a life. From Australia, a shy girl who just knows she's different and blossoms when acting. Incredibly poor, she becomes single mindedly focused on whatever task is at hand. She's enterprising. She plays tennis. She gets a law school degree. She has a gap year time in South Africa, and a bout of malaria.
She is candid about her weight, the journey in regards to her health.
She is candid about her late blooming love life.
She is really, really funny and I read this book with her Aussie accent in my head. Plus she's far from done - she's producing, directing, and acting. She's a rebel with plenty to say.
