Franny Banks is an aspiring actor in her twenties who moved to New York almost three years ago and is now approaching the deadline she set for herself to prove she could “make it.” We follow her as she buckles down in acting class, goes to auditions, hatches vague plans to better herself, and works as a waiter to pay her rent while she tries to land a proper part in something.

The story is set in 1995, so there’s a lot of writing in planners, going to agencies in person, and rushing home to check the answering machine for important messages, all of which I found delightfully refreshing. Franny is a lovable character who is easy to root for, and I had fun living in her world for these few hundred pages.
