“A winning, entertaining read . . . [Lauren Graham] has smartly mined just the right details from her own experience, infusing her work with crackling dialogue and observations about show business that ring funny and true. . . . Just like the screenwriters of the best romantic comedies, she has taken elements of the familiar and spun them into a novel that’s heartfelt, hilarious and, hopefully, just the first example of what she can do with the written word.”—The Washington Post “A charmer of a first novel . . . [Graham] has an easy, unforced style and, when the situation calls for it, a keen sense of the ridiculous.”—The Wall Street Journal “With insight, care, and an abundance of humor . . . Graham demonstrates that her acting chops are not her only talent.”—Library Journal “Thoroughly charming.”—Entertainment Weekly “Sweet, funny, and full of heart . . . a dazzling debut.”—Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed and Where We Belong “Warm and funny, charming and smart.”—Diane Keaton, New York Times bestselling author of Then Again “Graham deftly captures what it’s like to be young, ambitious, and hopeful in New York City.”—Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author of Sex and the City and The Carrie Diaries “Fresh and funny and full of zingers, Lauren Graham’s charming writing style instantly drew me in, but it was her relatable characters (complete with doodled date-book entries!), irresistible romantic twists, and delicious plot that kept me turning the pages until well past my bedtime.”—Meg Cabot, bestselling author of the Princess Diaries and Heather Wells Mystery series Lauren Graham is an actress best known for her roles on the critically acclaimed series Gilmore Girls and Parenthood. She has performed on Broadway and appeared in such films as Bad Santa, Evan Almighty, and Because I Said So. She holds a BA in English from Barnard College and an MFA in acting from Southern Methodist University. She lives in New York and Los Angeles.
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.

Couldn't Hold My Interest I'm a huge Gilmore Girls and Lauren Graham fan -- perhaps I expected too much, but this book fell short of my expectations. The writing was good, but there wasn't much of an actual plot other than the continuous trials of a hope-to-be actress. Slow moving, and I didn't find the characters very interesting at all. It might be of more interest to someone in the acting field or someone trying to be one. But for me, it just couldn't hold my interest.Wanted to like this but... I really wanted to like this book... but I just couldn't ever relate to the main character, Frannie, whom I found incredibly annoying. At one point in the book, I even found myself saying out loud, "Oh my gosh, shut up already!" I was so disappointed because my daughters and I are huge Gilmore Girls fans, so I was really excited to read Lauren Graham's new book, (LG plays Lorelai on the show). This book mostly read like an unending stream of consciousness by a neurotic woman who struggled with terrible low self esteem. While that can sometimes be endearing in some stories, the character Frannie just came off to me as an insanely self conscious individual who had a thousand self deprecating thoughts a minute! All of which the author felt she had to include on all the pages of this book!Just one more reason to love Lauren Graham! If your a fan of Helen Fielding's: Bridget Jones you will seriously enjoy reading Someday, Someday Maybe.THE BAD: (this has nothing to do with the writing or anything else) For the Kindle version, at least for the paperwhite, the pages with the Filofax stuff were pretty much impossible to read. Especially since the "handwriting" was obviously supposed to look hasty and messy. It actually gave me a bit of a headache trying to decipher them.I've always known Lauren Graham is an awesome actress, super smart and hilarious. Now I also know she can write!There are so many laughs in this story. The characters are so outrageous and funny, they are mostly likeable, with the exception of a certain gentleman. I would love to know these people.So hard to put down, even when the words started to swim across the screen, it was nearly impossible to stop.I'm hoping that the saga of Franny will continue.
