Live Wire

Long-Winded Short Stories

By: Kelly Ripa

Narrated by: Kelly Ripa

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.

Great Stories

Book was funny and totally relatable. Especially enjoyed hearing it in author’s own voice. Certain parts made me laugh out loud. As on TV, Kelly makes you feel like she’s your friend. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

LOVE LOVE LOVE❣️

I love all of the stories and Kelly kept me listening with her great narration. Must read this book! All of the stories were deep but the laughter and cries I had throughout has me wanting more. Definitely worth the credit!!

Loved it!

I laughed out loud! She gives a glimpse into her life that we don’t see on Live. I teared up a bit not bc there were sad parts but when she talks about her children you can hear the overabundance amount of love she has for them. I could listen to her all day. Until another book is out I’ll settle for the 1 hr I get with her every morning.

Honest, Jersey funny, humble

If you know, then you know. If you grew up in New Jersey you get it. Kelly is honest, humble, candid, and hysterical. The adoration for her husband is admirable and the love for her children is crystal clear.

Typical Kelly telling it like it is!

Enjoyed the book! It ended too quickly. Hopefully this is a best seller so Kelly may write another one. Enjoyed the antidotes! Glad you set the record straight with Your relationship with your co- workers. I believe a whole lot more could of been addressed. Kelly took the high road.
