Kelly reveals what makes her tick in her first book, Live Wire. She brings hard-earned wisdom and an eye for the absurdity of life to every minute of every day as a professional, a wife, a daughter, and a mother. Her relatability in all of these roles has gained her fans worldwide and millions of social media followers. Kelly constantly tells it like it is, whether telling how she and Mark met, the amount of chauvinism she encountered on set, how Jersey pride follows her wherever she goes and many, many instances of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of humiliation). Ms. Ripa does not take any prisoners. Surprising, brutal at times, a touch shameless, and always with a sense of humor… Kelly is depicted in Live Wire as she is offscreen: a knowledgeable woman with much to say.
