Fun, but at the same time Rebel is smart and has an interesting story to tell, so am happy to see her successful and happy. She's worked for and deserves everything she's achieved. Appreciated the honest and humourous storytelling. Her reading the audiobook was fun too.

Overall I found it really interesting to hear about her earlier life and how she got into acting. By the time we got to the part about her getting to LA and breaking into Hollywood, I got a bored and found the book way too long.
Learning that all the Pitch Perfect actresses really grew that close and are still friends made me unreasonably happy. The second half of the book, where Rebel is rich and famous, was tough for me to get through. I should probably just stay away from celebrity biographies, but hearing how she spent over $100,000 to have her baby when there are so many babies that need homes made me incredibly sad. Also, why do the richest people on earth get free engagement rings, free luxury spa trips, and free cruises?? They can afford it! I know she gives back to her community a lot, but that kind of wealth just feels icky to me.
4/5
So I might be the only person in the world who read this solely because I’m a fan of The Tennis Player Rebel Wilson had a thing with, and I wanted to see what she wrote about her. I also knew nothing about Rebel besides when I half-paid attention to a Pitch Perfect screening once.
That being said, I thought this was a pretty good read even beyond the Tennis Player chapter! Rebel (or maybe her ghostwriter) writes with a self-awareness and transparency that a lot of women are afraid of showing, and that was really refreshing despite the fact that she over shared at times. I also like how she shed a light on a lot of issues women face and some of the negative things about Hollywood.
I thought the book was going to be bad because she *did* come off a bit self absorbed in the opening chapter, but it was actually really fun to read and learn more about Rebel.
