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 "A winning entertaining read . . . [Lauren
