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.
