From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls
and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and
hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young
actress trying to get ahead―and keep it together―in New York
City.
It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has
just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for
herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and
doing “important” work. But all she has to show for her
efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas
sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club. Her
roommates―her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi
writer―are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan
club doesn’t exactly count as success. Everyone tells her
she needs a backup plan, and though she can almost picture
moving back home and settling down with her perfectly nice
ex-boyfriend, she’s not ready to give up on her goal of
having a career like her idols Diane Keaton and Meryl
Streep. Not just yet. But while she dreams of filling their
shoes, in the meantime, she’d happily settle for a speaking
part in almost anything—and finding a hair product
combination that works.
Everything is riding
on the upcoming showcase for her acting class, where she’ll
finally have a chance to perform for people who could
actually hire her. And she can’t let herself be distracted
by James Franklin, a notorious flirt and the most successful
actor in her class, even though he’s suddenly started paying
attention. Meanwhile, her bank account is rapidly dwindling,
her father wants her to come home, and her agent doesn’t
return her calls. But for some reason, she keeps believing
that she just might get what she came for.
Someday, Someday, Maybe is a story about hopes and
dreams, being young in a city, and wanting something deeply,
madly, desperately. It’s about finding love, finding
yourself, and perhaps most difficult of all in New York
City, finding an acting job.
