Overview

From Lauren Graham, the star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes the witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel and New York Times bestseller about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead, and keep it together, in New York City. 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. She needs a backup plan because 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. 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 'Warm and funny, charming and smart.' Diane Keaton 'Graham deftly captures what it's like to be young, ambitious, and hopeful in New York City.' Candace Bushnell 'Fresh and funny and full of zingers ...it was her relatable characters, irresistible romantic twists, and delicious plot that kept me turning the pages until well past my bedtime. ' Meg Cabot 'Heartfelt, hilarious.' The Washington Post
