Publisher's summary

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good story, drags a little.

I think this would've been a better one to actually instead of listen to... would be a great vacation read!

Great Audiobook

Lauren Graham does an awesome job narrating and her book is really funny and likable! Kept me entertained on my subway commute. I'm very picky when it comes to audiobook narrators but she's really great!

A fun way to pass the time

Lauren Graham is a heck of a narrator, and on her way to being a heck of a writer. I would call this "good" or "fun" rather than great, but I'm excited to read whatever's next for her. Little by little, Lauren!

LOVE!

I loved this book! I'm a little biased because I had decided I was going to like it because it was written and read by Lauren Graham and Lorelei Gilmore is my patronus, but really it's worth the read. She's a very descriptive writer and focuses a lot of character development, especially in regard to the main character. It's a very well written and captivating comedy about the an actress trying to 'make-it' in New York City.

Thoroughly enjoyable! Lauren Graham is superb.

Funny. Warm. Authentic. The narration made the story come alive for me. Lauren Graham has such a charm in the way she writes. I hope she will write more.

Perfect

The ending was a bitch though, it needs a sequel. Or maybe it's just perfect the way it is. I'm not sure.
