Kelly Ripa

A sharp, funny, and honest collection of real-life stories from Kelly Ripa, 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.

I listened to the audiobook and absolutely loved hearing these stories in Kelly’s voice. It’s a great book, whether or not you’re a fan of her morning talk show (I used to watch it in my teens, but haven’t had cable since about 2009 haha). It’s a winning combination of funny, self-deprecating, lighthearted and some heavy situations that had me laughing aloud while walking a dog a few times a week and kept me attuned despite my ADHD and (most) of the hiccups that arose during said dog walks. If there was a 4.5 star option, I would definitely give it that extra vote of confidence; as it is, I reserve 5 stars for books that basically shatter and completely alter my world view (because there isn’t a way to rate*those* any high than 5 🤪).
