About this audiobook
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.
Editor's Note
Authentic and empathetic…
It’s always fascinating to get the inside scoop from the stars we see on the silver screen, and that’s what Wilson delivers here. The “Bridesmaids” and “Pitch Perfect” actress opens up on all fronts: her upbringing in Sydney, building her career, and personal hurdles like infertility, coming out, and navigating Hollywood’s impossible beauty standards. Through it all, Willson writes authentically, empathetically, and with her signature humor.
