"Lively and reflective celebrity memoir seasoned with comedy and sincerity" (Kirkus Reviews)—"Beautiful, brave book" (Jenna Bush Hager, Today)—"Stunningly personal revelations" (The New York Times)—"Frank and fun" (CBS Sunday Morning). From the scene-stealing star of Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids comes Rebel Wilson's unconventional journey to Hollywood success and loving herself. This is the story of Rebel Wilson's remarkable personal transformation, from a painfully shy child in Australia who literally had to be dragged to drama classes to achieving breakout success in the US through iconic roles in Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Isn't It Romantic. Rebel shares the extraordinary experiences that shaped her life. A malaria-induced hallucination? An all-style martial arts fighting tournament? Junior handling at dog shows? And this was all before she moved to Hollywood. From her painful relationship with her father, weight gain and loss, a late-in-life sexual awakening, and fertility issues, Rebel shares her incredible journey to self-love. Rebel leads you through her hard-fought path to "making it," constantly questioning, "Am I good enough? Will I ever find love? Will I ever change and become healthy?" This extraordinarily entertaining memoir shows us how to love ourselves while making us laugh uncontrollably.
