Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An up-close portrait of the mind of an addict and a life unraveled by narcotics—a memoir of captivating urgency and surprising humor that puts a human face on the opioid crisis.
 
“Raw, brutal, and shocking. Move over, Orange Is the New Black.”—Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie

When word got out that Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she’d committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she’d been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends—their friends—were the ones who’d arrested her.
 
A raw and twisty page-turning memoir that reads like fiction, High Achiever spans Tiffany’s life as an active opioid addict, her 120 days in a Florida jail where every officer despised what she’d done to their brother in blue, and her eventual recovery. With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease—whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

Hope I found Tiffany on FB one night when I couldn't sleep. One of her videos just popped up and I was like who is this chick? Now I am a follower of her site. My 23 year old daughter is a heroin addict. This book gives me hope that someday she will be clean and sober. With all the death surrounding......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on October 06, 2022

I was familiar with this author from watching her viral hilarious videos. 🤣 When a friend mentioned how great (and unbelievable) her book was, I knew I had to read it. 🤓 The tone is somber and so different than what she portrays as a comedian. Her life experience is shockingly sad. The double life s......more

Goodreads review by Carrie on September 01, 2020

This book seems... fake? There’s something very weird and off about it. Almost Go Ask Alice vibes, though not nearly that goofy. The writing is poor and the narrator seems hell bent on telling you every time someone paid her a compliment. The title should be a double entendre, but isn’t really. The......more
