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.  Read more

REVIEW

I felt at times that I was reading the script to" Bridgerton," with the DEAR READER sentiments. I love Kelly Ripa, and she is so relatable sharing her anxieties, stories of kids and family, and her career. It was a very quick read, but the side comments were a bit distracting...... Kudos, Kelly....my favorite heartfelt chapter was the empty nest one. You redeemed yourself as a passionate writer, because ANYONE who has ever delivered a child to a college or university will feel every word that you have written. You walked me through the entire days of 18 and 20 years ago as if it was yesterday....even shedding a tender tear, and remembering how tough it was. No one tells parents, "Hey! Congrats on the baby! In 18 years they'll leave you and only come back for laundry service, leftovers to pack up, and hanging out with their friends....not you." YOU TOTALLY CAPTURED THIS, and I thank you for the memories. xoxo
