For decades, actress Rebel Wilson focused on her career, making a name for herself through her iconic roles in Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Isn’t It Romantic. Now, she’s ready to chronicle the emotional and physical lessons she learned, as well as her most embarrassing experiences. .
Rebel Rising follows Wilson’s incredible journey of “making it,” as she continuously questioned, “Am I good enough? Will I ever find love? Will I ever change and become healthy?” From fertility issues, weight gain and loss, sexuality, overcoming shyness, rejections, it’s all here. This memoir shows us how to love ourselves while making us laugh uncontrollably.
