Rebel Rising: A Memoir by Rebel Wilson

5.0

Funny, relatable, and full of life lessons, Rebel Rising spends the majority of the memoir focusing on Rebel’s childhood and high school years, including the fever dream she had while on a trip to Africa where she contracted Malaria and hallucinated about winning an Oscar. This led her to pursue the love of acting she acquired as a theater kid in high school, and she did it while also studying to be a lawyer. After her acting career took off in Australia, Rebel made the move to America, where she delved into both the good and bad things that acting brought into her life. Touching on life events such as losing a parent, dating, the struggles of polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, and IVF and surrogacy journeys, there's also some fun celebrity name-dropping and the book touches on much more than the sensational headlines that surrounded its release.
