Live Wire

Long-Winded Short Stories

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.

Honest and comical look at being a family

Loved it. It is an honest and comical look at a family life from the beginning (how they met) to being Empty Nesters.

I Wish I Hadn't Put Off Listening

I put off starting this book, In spite of all the good reviews, I was afraid I'd be disappointed. Boy, was I wrong. I loved it. And it was so great hearing the stories in Kelly's own voice. I want more.

Audible Is the Best!

I am sure the written word works for some but having Kelly read this book was priceless! Her personality and reality comes through in every word. I wanted it to go on and on! Thank you!
