Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories by Kelly Ripa

3.0

I love a good celebrity memoir, especially when they narrate the audiobook. I've got no big or small feelings about Ripa, other than that when I've watched her show, I find her kind of hyper.

The title is apt: Ripa can be very long-winded about minutiae, or she can be purposefully vague about things. She overshares at times, and at times, left me wanting more information. Very uneven book.

She really doesn't seem to appreciate the extreme privilege she's had in life. She bad mouths her claims to fame, the few people she's worked with that she dares to mention and leaves out many others who were crucial to her success. She definitely has a good agent if she could get this published. The audiobook passed the time, but nothing more, nothing less.
