Someday, Someday, Maybe: A Novel

Someday, Someday, Maybe: A Novel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERÂ Â â€¢Â 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 aheadâ€•and keep it togetherâ€•in New York City.
Â
Itâ€™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 â€œimportantâ€ 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 roommatesâ€•her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi writerâ€•are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan club doesnâ€™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, sheâ€™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, sheâ€™d happily settle for a speaking part in almost anythingâ€”and finding a hair product combination that works.
Â
Everything is riding on the upcoming showcase for her acting class, where sheâ€™ll finally have a chance to perform for people who could actually hire her. And she canâ€™t let herself be distracted by James Franklin, a notorious flirt and the most successful actor in her class, even though heâ€™s suddenly started paying attention. Meanwhile, her bank account is rapidly dwindling, her father wants her to come home, and her agent doesnâ€™t return her calls. But for some reason, she keeps believing that she just might get what she came for.
Â
Someday, Someday, Maybe is a story about hopes and dreams, being young in a city, and wanting something deeply, madly, desperately. Itâ€™s about finding love, finding yourself, and perhaps most difficult of all in New York City, finding an acting job.
