Someday, Someday, Maybe

A Novel

De: Lauren Graham

Narrado por: Lauren Graham

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.

A Fun read

Any additional comments?

I was doing one of my random selection of books to read when I bought this. I had no idea what to expect frankly, but this turned out to be quite a fun and light read. The plot and the story itself isn't that deep, but there are sever quite hilarious scenes. However, there w3re some times when I wasn't quite sure where one person finished speaking and the next began, though I think it's more due to the format of the book than the narrater. The narrator suits this read. She's funny and could capture the way the MC speaks and I thought her sound affects all adds to the listening experience.

Should you read this? Well, if you are looking for a book to have a laugh and are purely wanting for some entertainment, then yes. It's a fun book to relax with, but lack any hardcore plot twists and developments like in the authors I usually like reading.

Great book!

Buy this book! She is so whitty and entertaining. I'd love a sequel to this!

Nice Easy Listen

I always enjoy Lauren Graham , she is one of my favorites and its easy to picture a younger version of her in scenarios such as she writes in her this book. It is a sweet book and you want to be a friend of this girl who is trying to make her place in the world of acting but can't seem to catch a break. I enjoyed it quite well.

Lauren is AMAZING

Lauren does amazing work with everything she does. I love that she narrates her books also. I would love to see more from the life of Franny (and Dan)

Excellent book!!

Good light-hearted book

I enjoyed the story and Lauren Graham's performance. I chose this book for travel and it was perfect. It is a story I could get into and it made me laugh, lightening up my drive.

Cute story

Loved listening. Wish the ending was more clear and finished. Gives a great look into the life of a struggling actress

Love!

I love Lauren Graham and I love this book! It was a fun listen and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing it in her voice!!

I want more!

This could easily become a series and I was left wanting more of Franny and her life. Lauren did a wonderful job on this book. Very talented writer! Engaging story! And her reading of it was fantastic!

Average

This had a pretty average feeling story line to it. Wasn't spectacular but wasn't terrible, yet was kind of predictable. Having it read by Lauren Graham herself gave it bonus points though. That was quite entertaining. I also enjoyed Frannie's personality a lot, twas very Lauren-esque. Although it did take her way too long to see James for the asshole he is.

Overall a good listen!

Narration was magnificent. the story seemed a little disjointed, but that appears to be the way the author meant it to be.
