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.

Such a fun and heartfelt read!

I laughed so much!!! Like there’s only one person that can make me laugh like that, well now 2.
I cried, reading about college as I’m going through the same phase in my life. You have 3 healthy children and a husband who loves you!! HAHAHA Kelly, I thought I was the only one that was reminded of that over and over!
Love you and thank you! I needed this book at this time in my life.

Funny and Sweet

It’s such a fresh and light hearted and at moments tear-inducing laughter book. There is a sweetness to it that I loved. Also, I’m glad that it didn’t feel pretentious or preachy.
Kelly Ripa purposely didn’t write a memoir, those short stories are what she chose to share. Even though the chapter showing the misogyny she went through was illuminating and not surprising , I am sure that there are people who would have wanted her to elaborate more on the hardships ( and if you followed her career you know there are some), but I respect this choice.
Oh and I hope Kelly and Mark stay together forever.

One of the best memoirs I have ever read!

Kelly did an awesome job of writing this hilarious, laugh out-loud memoir I’ve ever read. Her performance was just that awesome too. I knew I already loved Kelly on her TV show, but now I love her even more as the awesome writer that she is (even tho she doesn’t believe she is). She described everything so I felt like I was really there with her in the moments. Awesome job, Kelly! One thing that no other memoir had was Mark Consuelos. What a joy he was. I think he is one of the top 10 husbands in all of entertainment. I hope Kelly writes another memoir, book or thoughts written down. Whatever she writes, I will read. Top 10 book I have read.Cheers to you, Miss Ripa!!

Lively, real and entertaining

At first, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy the “long winded short stories” but as it turns out I really did. Kelly Ripa takes us on an interesting journey through selecting moments in her life that are albeit privileged very relatable. Perhaps that is the biggest charm of this book. Quite enjoyable!

Fun and light hearted book to listen to.

I enjoyed this book very much. There was plenty of times I laughed out loud. I really enjoyed Kelly Ripa’s energy. Loved Mark chiming in too.

Simply Loved it!

Loved this book and listening to Kelly tell it! So much laughter, and a few tears, loved her honestly and so relatable. I hope Kelly writes another one.

Almost crashed my car

At the telling of Mark’s fashion choices when Kelly passed out from sex. I had tears streaming down and laughed myself into the first asthma attack I’ve had in years!
