Someday, Someday, Maybe/Lauren Graham/344 pages

Franny Banks is an aspiring actress. She's on the last six months of her self-imposed three-year deadline to became a working actress on Broadway doing important roles. If she doesn't make it, then she'll move to Chicago with her long-time sorta boyfriend where he is finishing up law school. They'll start a life together, and she'll be done with acting forever. So, this last six months makes all the difference in her life.


Written by Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood fame, this is an inside look at how the entertainment industry works and how the people in it deal with the rejection and the strangeness of it all. For those Gilmore Girls fans, I don't know if Amy Sherman-Palladino wrote Lorelei's dialogue after meeting Lauren Graham or if Lauren Graham is duplicating Sherman-Palladino's style, but Franny sure sounds like Lorelei.
