Summary

National Best Seller

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 20 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, pause resisting memoir that sounds 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.

Amazing

enjoyable read despite it being in parts, as described by her ''bad therapist'' as being somewhat unbelievable.. I do wonder about the authenticity of certain details but the story was enjoyable nonetheless

Brilliant in depth back story of one woman's fight

I'll start with thanking you Tiff for being so open with readers. I would suggest this to anyone either fighting addiction or dealing with someone close who's an addict. tiff you had a hard road, but thankfully you found the help you needed, and accepted it. ive personally never had addiction issues, but have helped many friends with their fight. you bared it all, and I enjoyed that you didn't hold back. if your story could help just one person to know it's not the end, and that they can overcome this monster then you have achieved more than most. I hope that those you hurt hear this, and in their own way can forgive you. I don't even know you, and I'm very proud of you. I sometimes catch your live chats, and always think we would be great friends.
you're book is the first audio book I listened to, and finished. most tend to bore me. so well done on that as well lol. enjoy your life as you are.
