Rebel Rising

A Memoir

By: Rebel Wilson

Narrated by: Rebel Wilson

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.

This “beautiful, brave book,” (Jenna Bush Hager, the Today show) 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 and achieved break-out 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.©2024 Rebel Wilson (P)2024 Simon & Schuster Audio

Love her and loved it

I’ve been a big fan for quite some time! It was great to get to know more about the person behind some of my favorite characters. She is a great role model for you people and the book was very well done! As someone who also struggles with her weight but is still body positive and loves herself it was nice to see that someone else relates so well to my feelings on these issues! Keep crushing it Rebel!

Totally exceeded expectations

What an amazing read - she’s so open, honest and vulnerable that you can’t help cheering for her!

Rebel Rising

loved her persistent and courage to keep going forward, to never give up, and never listen to the negativity from others and in our own head

Insightful, thoughtful, and Entertaining

I truly enjoyed getting to know Rebel’s story. She tells it all, providing private thoughts, guilt, troubling experiences both personally and professionally, gains and losses, lifelong challenges, and her quest for self-love, happiness, and the miracle of becoming a parent. While I am not an actor, I was stunned be the many parallels of our life experiences. Rebel’s messages are candid and important. Her journey has been raw and natural, and there are many lessons for the reader. I highly recommend this book.

Loved it!!!!

This was fantastic. I didnt want it to end. One of the best celebrity memoirs I've heard in a long time. Helps you see Rebel in a new light, Her journey and self discovery was truly inspiring. Smart and funny.

Rebelation after Rebelation!!!

I like Rebel’s honesty and vulnerability! She just said it like it was and I find that refreshing!

Honest and relatable

I really enjoyed the book a lot. I believe this is so relatable for many people who struggle with self image. And great narration by Rebel.

Fantastic

I cried, I laughed I am on awe of her. I resonated with everything she went through.

Fan or not, this is a fantastic book

I’ve never followed career or story but her name is recognizable and nostalgic to my 37 year old self. I needed something to listen to on a work trip and picked this because I thought it would be silly and easily digestible. But instead I was sobbing at some parts and saw my own story here and there. I was so moved by her vulnerability and couldn’t stop listening. Thought provoking, entertaining, and insightful.

Appreciation Grows

Like most moviegoers, I have always appreciated Rebel Wilson‘s comedy and fearlessness without really known much about her. This book changes that. Very revealing, very thoughtful, and very, very, very funny. Gives a new and greater appreciation for this extraordinary talent who has a lot to say and says it with conviction and intelligence.
