What is the book about?

Quote:

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.

I think you'll get one as well, they said they'd send one each so I do think they did.

I listened to the first CD yesterday. It was nice and soothing. Unfortunately I won´t have time to continue till like the end of August. I can´t listen to it and do something else at the same time and I rarely just have time to lie and listen CD.lol

Wow, Kizzy, two envelopes, that is so cool. You hit the jackpot

Katka, that is sad that you won't be able to listen to more for about a month but happy that you liked the first disc.

I think this is actually the first book plate I've ever had! so happy it's in Lauren's book!

So I got a nice surprise in the mail today! I'm from Australia so I was not expecting to get one as thoughts it was for US residents only, well I got my book plate in the mail today!!

Such a nice surprise as I had just accepted I wouldn't get one. My first lauren signature
