Quotes
"Tracy's book is the biggest 'WOW' book I have read in a long time. It is super FUNNY and inspiring. I am awed by how grounded and self effacing Tracy can be about such a peculiar upbringing and how one can grow through all kinds of relationships"
- Mariel Hemingway
"This is everything a memoir should be: hilarious, heartbreaking, and gorgeously written. By the time you finish this book, you'll want to marry Tracy McMillan, too."
- Diablo Cody
"Yes, Tracy McMillain was raised by a PIMP. And if that headline doesn't grab you, the juicy and compelling literary mash-up inside will. This book reads as if Nora Ephron wroteThe Glass Castle or Chelsea Handler penned Precious. I LOVE YOU AND I'M LEAVING YOU ANYWAY is a hilarious, modern hybrid for the modern, thinking ladies of today. 1/2 self-help, 1/2 memoir, Tracy careens ADD-style between her jacked-up love life and the even more-jacked-up childhood that got her there. Self-aware and delicious and destined for Oprah's couch, if not to become the new Oprah herself, Tracy is a post-Obama heroine/guru for funny lovelorn chicks everywhere. And, yes, I should add, I cried."
- Jill Soloway
