Wilson does a fanatic job laying out her story. It gives the grit and dedication it took to get where she is. I didn’t realize she’s done so much and really admire her negotiating and standing up for herself in contracts!

A little bit too Hollywood at times but otherwise really great and funny and interesting
Rebel definitely had an interesting childhood that she had to overcome, the best part of her memoir was listening to her tales of growing up.

I love this book!
I listened to the audiobook, read by the author, and traveled through every emotion while listening to both her personal and professional journeys. I laughed out loud and shared in every emotion conveyed.
Rebel is an amazing storyteller that engages her readers with both witt and comedy.
Rebel takes us from her childhood in Australia to her barrister and acting training. The highs and lows of self-worth, relationships, sexuality, fertility and health are examined. The honesty and candidness in this book made me really like the person I was reading about. Like all humans, Rebel is simultaneously flawed and perfect. This book is highly relatable and uplifting.

I really wanted to like this one, but RW came across as disingenuous, and I realized that I did not really care about the stories she was writing about. I am usually a fan of celebrity memoirs, but I just didn't click with Rebel Rising.
