Set in January 1995, Someday, Someday, Maybe follows Franny Banks as she races a self-imposed deadline to break into acting. Between auditions, odd jobs and the small dramas of shared apartments, Franny keeps faith that the next showcase or the right connection will change everything.

Humorous and observant, the story balances the practical pressures of paying the bills with quieter questions of identity and desire. Franny’s friendships, a flirtatious classmate, and the mercurial nature of show business create tension that feels lived-in and relatable rather than glamorous.

Readers who enjoy character-driven contemporary fiction will appreciate the book’s sharp dialogue, warm tone, and insider glimpses of New York’s performing world. It’s a portrait of ambition, resilience, and the awkward, hopeful moments that shape a young life in the city.
