Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  ? 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.
Praise for Someday, Someday, Maybe

3.5 Nice story about an actress in New York trying to make it before her self imposed deadline to give up on her dream and find a "real" career. It's entertaining but there's no substance here but I'm not sure there's supposed to be. ( )

Someday, Someday, Maybe is a novel of finding yourself, of finding others, and of finding love, in its various and complicated forms. The premise, I'll give you, sounds clichéd and I am certain you've heard this story before. Franny Banks is a 20-something trying to make it as an actress in New York City. She has the obligatory spunky roommate/best friend; the terminal friend-zone guy friend; the brooding, bad boy love interest; and a relationship with her father that is changing in ways neither of them can control as she asserts herself and enters adulthood. But though the story, the setting, and the characters may be something you've seen before, I guarantee you will fall in love with Franny's personality, her friends, her story, and ultimately with Graham's storytelling.

It was no surprise to me to find out that Graham holds a bachelors degree in English Literature (from Barnard College/Columbia University no less). This book is incredibly well written for being your basic story of a girl growing up in the big city, finding romantic love, a love of family, a love of friends, and, eventually, a love of self. Graham's writing is engaging and witty, and she is just as funny on the page as she seems on TV. ( )

I enjoyed Lauren Graham's writing, although I mostly thought of the protagonists characters as a blend of Lorelai Gilmore and Sarah Braverman the whole way through. Felt a little bit guilty reading this, as it would clearly be filed under chick lit, but at the same time it's an incredibly easy and enjoyable read. Read this at the same time as I read Coupland's new output Worst Person Ever and this provided a welcome relief the nastiness and misanthropy of his created world.

I like that this book is set in the 90s, although there's little to no pop cultural context in this tale, all the actors names are changed so not much to anchor it in a reality that you can actually remember. Also the story very much revolves around Graham's character, which is either an extremely astute observation of how self centred women in their twenties can be, or just a bit lazy in terms of padding out the other characters.

Overall, I liked it but it's a bit of a popcorn read. The book equivalent of a rom com I'd watch in secret. ( )

I really enjoyed this. Written by an industry insider it had a ring of truth to it. ( )

This was a cute little read. I had high hopes for this, and was slightly disappointed. It was a little slow to catch my attention and pull me in, but once I got into it, it went relatively quickly. There didn't seem to be a ton of substance to it, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away. Franny Banks is a character that you can relate to for the most part, but I also wanted to scream at her sometimes to not be so stupid or cliche, or to just speak up and communicate with people.

I still gave this four stars because it's a nice, quick, feel-good read. If you like romantic comedy books and/or movies, you will probably like this book. ( )

Ms. Graham, best known as the hyper-verbal Lorelei on the CW series "Gilmore Girls"—she is currently one of the stars of NBC's "Parenthood"—has an easy, unforced style and, when the situation calls for it, a keen sense of the ridiculous.
 
The central question of this novel isn’t whether Franny can succeed as an actress, but whether she can do so while keeping her moral compass properly calibrated.
