I LOVE TIFFANY JENKINS! I follow her on all my social media because she is a GREAT inspiration to me. As a mother of two girls, I find her content relatable and hilarious. I knew I had to read this book! I LOVE IT!
"A Clean Mess" by Tiffany Jenkins is a heartfelt and humorous memoir that delves into the author's personal journey of navigating the chaos of life while embracing the messiness that comes with it. Jenkins, known for her relatable storytelling and candid approach, shares her experiences with mental health, motherhood, and the challenges of maintaining a balance in a seemingly perfect world.
The book is filled with Jenkins' signature wit and charm, making it an enjoyable read from start to finish. Her ability to find humor in everyday situations allows readers to connect with her on a personal level, as she recounts the ups and downs of her life with authenticity. Jenkins addresses the pressures of being a parent, the struggles of managing expectations, and the importance of self-acceptance in a society that often promotes perfectionism.
The book is structured with a mix of personal anecdotes, reflections, and practical advice, making it both entertaining and insightful. Jenkins' writing style is engaging and relatable, drawing readers in with her conversational tone and relatable stories. Each chapter offers a glimpse into her life, filled with lessons learned and moments of growth.

A beautiful, honest account of the challenges of addiction and recovery. I enjoyed the humor that the author presented while she was in recovery and I found that a welcome difference to many books about addiction and recovery. I was cheering for Tiffany and her family to https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7358292298

I devoured this book in a day as soon as the ARC became available for me. Her previous book, “High Achiever” has always occupied space in my mind. This one continued the story of her life. Raw, thoughtful, and not missing her humor. The power of friendship, the importance of recovery- including sponsors, meetings, and doing the work. I love how her story didn’t shy away from the reality of addiction, relapses, and navigating life. Her vulnerability about anxiety, depression, PPD and everything she experience was written in such a captivating way that I couldn’t put it down. So happy she put out another book, and I’d be thrilled if she did another!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the chance to read an early copy of A Clean Mess in exchange for my honest review.
First and foremost, five-fucking-stars!!! I loved Hugh Achiever when it came out and quickly began following Tiffany on social media. I was stoked to be approved to read her new book, A Clean Mess, as an ARC on NetGalley.
Picking up from her release from rehab, I loved the way she set the story up, opening with the present day and then leaving us on a cliff-hanger to go back in time and weave the story back to where she ended up. I can only imagine what it would be like to be a recovering addict and to have the anxiety and mental health issues Ms. Jenkins so candidly discusses sounds damn near impossible. Kudos and much respect to Tiffany for opening up and telling her story, as difficult as I'm sure it has been.. there will always be haters and "trolls" especially when you're big on socials, so I hope that she continues her journey with integrity and maintains all the success she has worked so hard for!!

I am so grateful that I got to read this book thanks to NetGalley.
I’ve followed Tiffany Jenkins’ online for years and have always felt so inspired by her honesty, her humor and her strength. Even though she’s had her battles, she’s still here and she’s still working to make her life better. To say that that is the epitome of strength is an understatement.
This book is beautifully written and is a great insight into both addiction and recovery. Reading her journey felt like hanging out with a friend who needs to bare her soul to feel complete again.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a loved one in their addiction or in recovery.

Although I wouldn't use this book in a class, I enjoyed reading it. It's an important story, and I am glad it is being told. Also it's ultimately a story of triumph in a wonderful way.

I have been a Tiffany fan for a long time. As someone who has a family member in addiction I’ve always watched her videos. I enjoyed reading this book and listening to her story from the beginning. Thanks for sharing Tiffany.

this was a good book! It did not feel like an autobiography or memoir, so that was nice, it was interesting and entertaining! This author has a good story to tell, and it was a fascinating read for sure!!
Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

I’ve followed Tiffany Jenkins for some time and her story is amazing. Her new book, A Clean Mess, will tug at your heartstrings. What an incredible book!

I absolutely loved Tiffany Jenkins’ first book, High Achiever, so I was beyond excited to read Clean Mess. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Tiffany has this incredible ability to share her difficult journey with humor, which I find truly admirable. She’s hilarious, and her vulnerability in opening up about her struggles makes this book even more impactful.
What stood out to me the most was how she managed to stay sober through the depths of postpartum—a time that is often filled with so many challenges. Her strength, resilience, and raw honesty are absolutely inspiring. Tiffany is a force to be reckoned with, and her story will resonate with anyone who has faced hardship and come out stronger on the other side.
If you loved High Achiever, or even if you’re just looking for a powerful, funny, and vulnerable memoir, Clean Mess is a must-read. Tiffany continues to show us just how remarkable she is.

As someone who grew up with loved ones addicted to substances, this book truly spoke to me. It’s always humbling and powerful to read the POV of someone who has used or returned to using substances. The only disappointment I felt with this book was that I wish it was longer! I devoured it almost completely in one sitting. I can’t help but wonder about the lives of those in the book and wonder how they are all doing now.

A CLEAN MESS (I don’t like to rate memoirs, and will always give 5⭐️ for vulnerability). Release date 6/3/2025. I couldn’t put this book down. Many know Tiffany from her online presence Jugglingthejenkins, that revolves around motherhood, addiction, self discovery. I followed Tiffany years ago, and fell kinda off the map in keeping up with her page, so I went into this book not knowing really where it was headed.
Freshly out of rehab, this details her transition from jail/rehab into a halfway house. She quickly meets her spouse, also in recovery and quickly transitions into mom mode while battling sobriety/PPD/parental death. 10 years later, a weekend away for her husband and their mutual friends, her world is turned upside down, once again.
As someone who lost their father to fentanyl addiction, the strength she shows for her family through all the ups and downs is magical. I can’t imagine how hard she fights everyday for herself and her family, then and now.
With quick, short chapters, you won’t be able to put it down.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book to release since reading her first memoir High Achiever…(which I highly recommend). I commend Tiffany on such an emotionally raw and revealing account of her life after addiction, through marriage and motherhood, and divorce. I could feel her emotion in her writing and I especially loved the accounts with her father and the special bond they shared.
I appreciate Tiffany’s books for their inside look into what life as an addict can be like. I truly find myself more understanding and compassionate to those who are dealing with this while trying to better their lives.
Thank you @netgalley for the opportunity to read this advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
