I was a fan of Rebel before unread this book and now? Now I love her even more! If I was having a celebrity dinner party, Rebel would definitely have an invite!

I read this book in 1 day! It was interesting, funny and insightful! There were so many things I didn't know about her but the way she tells her story is so genuine and open. It was almost like having a coffee and chat with her in my head. 

The peek into Hollywood and how she navigates it and the media is interesting. While she's talking about difficult subjects at times it doesn't come across as bitter and twisted about things. It comes across as, raw, heartfelt and honest. 

It was so refreshing to read about someone in that life with all the glitz and glam who didn't get wrapped up in all the drugs and drinking etc. Someone who worked hard and achieved their goals but still came out on top! 

Her story is empowering and inspiring and so is Rebel!

I can say other than seeing her in a few movies and knowing about her recently marrying and having a child I don’t know too much about Rebel Wilson, I haven’t read that many articles. However this wasn’t too bad a listen, some of the stories were quite interesting and it had more in it than I thought it would have had and it was also very candid in each other the more in depth stories of her life.

I loved this candid look at Rebel's life. It's really eye opening to see how this industry treated women (specifically before the Me Too Movement). And Rebel's willingness to re-explore these situations and come out on the other side KNOWING how messed up it was and that she didn't deserve to deal with that.

Also, as a plus size girl, a lot of her adolescence experiences and thought processes felt relatable. I've gotten to the ~Fully Loving Myself~ part of my healing journey as did Rebel, but I FULLY recommend this to any one who may be struggling to find that inner confidence. Our thought processes are a pattern that we all suffer with in silence.

Overall, this book hits heavy and light topics, and walks the reader through high and low points in Rebel's life. It's a beautifully wrapped memoir
