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.

Fantastic Read !
This book was so enjoyable! From one wife/mama to another. I just loved hearing the normalcy in Kelly and Mark’s lives.
Loved it
I laughed (That Richard Gere story). I cried. (Michael’s birth story). I loved every second of it. Especially hearing it in Kelly’s voice. Finished it in a day and a half even though I have a full time job and a full time toddler. Give us more, Kelly!
