NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER í˘ŚóŚ˘ 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 aheadí˘ŚóŚ´and keep it togetherí˘ŚóŚ´in New York City.Ití˘ŚóŚ»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 í˘ŚóŚěimportantí˘ŚóŚť 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 roommatesí˘ŚóŚ´her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi writerí˘ŚóŚ´are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan club doesní˘ŚóŚ»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, sheí˘ŚóŚ»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, sheí˘ŚóŚ»d happily settle for a speaking part in almost anythingí˘ŚóŚîand finding a hair product combination that works.Everything is riding on the upcoming showcase for her acting class, where sheí˘ŚóŚ»ll finally have a chance to perform for people who could actually hire her. And she caní˘ŚóŚ»t let herself be distracted by James Franklin, a notorious flirt and the most successful actor in her class, even though heí˘ŚóŚ»s suddenly started paying attention. Meanwhile, her bank account is rapidly dwindling, her father wants her to come home, and her agent doesní˘ŚóŚ»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. Ití˘ŚóŚ»s about finding love, finding yourself, and perhaps most difficult of all in New York City, finding an acting job.Praise for Someday, Someday, Maybeí˘ŚóŚěA winning, entertaining read . . .
