Publisher's Summary

An instant New York Times bestseller from Kelly Ripa—a sharp, funny, and honest collection of real-life stories showing the many dimensions and crackling wit of the beloved daytime talk show host.

In Live Wire, her first book, Kelly shows what really makes her tick. As a professional, as a wife, as a daughter and as a mother, she brings a hard-earned wisdom and an eye for the absurdity of life to every minute of every day. It is her relatability in all of these roles that has earned her fans worldwide and millions of followers on social media. Whether recounting how she and Mark really met, the level of chauvinism she experienced on set, how Jersey Pride follows her wherever she goes, and many, many moments of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of embarrassment) Kelly always tells it like it is. Ms. Ripa takes no prisoners.

Surprising, at times savage, a little shameless and always with humor… Live Wire shows Kelly as she really is offscreen—a very wise woman who has something to say.

Highly entertaining!

Kelly Ripa’s memory is incredible. She describes the most minute details from decades ago in a hilariously entertaining way. How she remembers, I have no idea. It’s fun and very funny. Laugh out loud funny, at times.

Long winded but so much fun.

This book was fun to listen to. Kelly is a storyteller extraordinaire. Mark’s little. cameos just add to the enjoyment. You can tell even by listening here that these two are soulmates. Great book. Very uplifting.

Didn’t want it to end.

I have been a fan of kelly and mark since the days of all my children. I have loved getting to hear Kelly tell the stories of their life in such a humorous fashion. Bring on more!

Would not recommend

I love Kelly rips. Watched her on all my children, hope and faith, and now Kelly and Ryan. Unfortunately there was one a couple of stories that I haven’t her talk about. Disappointed in the contents off the book. If you know nothing about her and would like to, then it’s a good read. Otherwise, sorry it’s a waste of money

Fantastic

I love it!
what a funny, heartfelt, down to earth story. Everyone has embarrassing, funny, and memorable moments. This book is a good reminder that the people we see on TV are that, people. Real people. It was interesting to review Kelly's stories and get a glimpse into her life.

Loved it!

This collection of essays left me wanting more. I started to pace myself halfway through because I listened to it so quickly and I didn’t want it to end.
