Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML: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.
