From Lauren Graham, star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty and relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress in New York City. It's January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left on her self-imposed three-year deadline to succeed in the acting world. So far, her accomplishments include a role in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters and a job waiting tables at a comedy club. Despite the support of her roommates, best friend Jane and aspiring sci-fi writer Dan, Franny feels the pressure to have a backup plan. Although she can envision moving back home with her ex-boyfriend, she clings to her dream of a career like her idols Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep. With everything hinging on an upcoming showcase for her acting class, Franny is determined to perform for potential employers. However, she must navigate distractions, including James Franklin, a charming and successful classmate who suddenly shows interest in her. As her finances dwindle and her father urges her to return home, Franny continues to believe in her dreams. This story explores the challenges of youth, ambition, and love in a city that can be both exhilarating and unforgiving. It captures the essence of wanting something deeply and the quest for identity and opportunity in the competitive world of acting.
