I love you, and I'm leaving you anyway

the long version

"Television writer Tracy McMillan managed to work her way into a killer Hollywood career--privileged world of pool houses, premieres, and big-time producer deals--despite being the daughter of a fur-coat-wearing, El Dorado-driving, smooth-talking pimp named Freddie. But success couldn't save her from the pattern of self-destructive choices--stemming from her history with her father--that would shape all of her romantic relationships. This is her comic, tragic, and ultimately victorious story, the riveting true tale of how having a father obsessed with women made her a woman obsessed with men."
