Bookworm Review: “Someday Someday, Maybe” by Lauren Graham

July 18, 2013

Someday Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham
Ballantine Books, 2013

First Line: “Begin whenever you’re ready,” comes the voice from the back of the house.

Synopsis from Goodreads: Franny Banks is a struggling actress in New York City, with just six months left of the three year deadline she gave herself to succeed. But so far, all she has to show for her efforts is a single line in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters and a degrading waitressing job. She lives in Brooklyn with two roommates-Jane, her best friend from college, and Dan, a sci-fi writer, who is very definitely not boyfriend material-and is struggling with her feelings for a suspiciously charming guy in her acting class, all while trying to find a hair-product cocktail that actually works. 


Meanwhile, she dreams of doing “important” work, but only ever seems to get auditions for dishwashing liquid and peanut butter commercials. It’s hard to tell if she’ll run out of time or money first, but either way, failure would mean facing the fact that she has absolutely no skills to make it in the real world. Her father wants her to come home and teach, her agent won’t call her back, and her classmate Penelope, who seems supportive, might just turn out to be her toughest competition yet. 


Someday, Someday, Maybe is a funny and charming debut about finding yourself, finding love, and, most difficult of all, finding an acting job.


My Thoughts: Lauren Graham is the star actress from Gilmore Girls and Parenthood. I have not seen Parenthood, but I am a Gilmore fanatic. I own all 7 seasons and can quote every episode. Sad, but true. Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I found out she had written her first novel. I’ve since learned that she is writing her second which makes me ecstatic. 

Her personality and humor are very evident throughout the book. It made me laugh, but it was also a very interesting book. The story line is different than anything I’ve read before which made it exciting. Franny Banks, the main character reminded me so much of her character in Gilmore Girls. Franny is a struggling actress trying to make it in New York. She’s quick, and driven. She is focused but there is also a level of romance that she lets creep in.

I thoroughly enjoyed her first novel. I feel like it will be a big hit not only to her fans, but all fiction readers. I gave this book 4 1/2 stars out of 5 only because I only give books a 5 that were absolutely exceptional. I can’t wait for the second one, although I’m sure it will be a while before it comes out. I definitely recommend it to all you chick-lit/ fiction readers.

    I could only get through the first chapter of this book. I'm think I'm a little bit beyond the target demographic 😉

    I'm so glad that you LOVED this book. I've been thinking about getting it but not sure what everyone else thought. I have all the seasons of Gilmore Girls and love it. I hope they make a movie or it comes back. That would be fantastic.
