andreaovens 's review for:
Rebel Rising: A Memoir
by Rebel Wilson
I bought the audio book read by the actress herself and loved it. At times her story was a sad emotional rollercoaster.
She cried during the parts about her dad, I cried with her. I cried with joy when she met the love of her life. I teared up when she finally got her baby. Choked up when she talked about letting go of the years of weight that she kept as a protective layer. How she never celebrated herself until she was 40.
It was such a good listen, like talking to a long time friend about her struggles with life. I really identified with all the ways she mistreated herself with food and how much she tied to people please. How she worked twice as hard to show she was an equal in fatphobic Hollywood. How she was so constantly driven to be better. To do better. Frankly, it's impressive.
I found myself identifying with her struggles over her body image and not wanting to upset people over body positivity. Ultimately, you can't please everybody.
I found her story hopeful.
