Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Kelly Ripa has built a career on being likable, and hearing her read these candid personal essays makes the actress and TV host even more endearing. Ripa’s hilariously blunt “not-memoir,” as she calls it, is full of memorable moments from her childhood in the suburbs of New Jersey through her success on the daytime soap All My Children and her ascent to stardom as a morning show host. Funny, open, and wonderfully self-aware, Ripa’s anecdotes are sincere—and incredibly entertaining. Whether she’s talking about her awkward first meeting with her now-husband or having her pregnancy announced on camera by a psychic before she’d even told her boss, her hilarious personality shines through her energetic narration. Like the bubbly but razor-sharp Ripa herself, Live Wire is full of surprises.
Customer Reviews
Why Do We have to Play Games? Because were Women.
I bought this audiobook at the right time! I’ve been bedridden for awhile and my husband has had to be caretaker for 3 months out of 33 years, you’ve never heard such whining and complaints. I’m using your reverse psychology and everything you did. ‘no’ that doesn’t work for me would have prevented a year of permanent damage to my body and now spirit. Thank you Kelly.
