I wanted to like this. I really did. I love Lauren Graham as an actress. Not so much as a fiction writer I think. It wasn't funny or really even very uplifting. It started off okay but then went nowhere for the longest time and I lost the purpose of the book. The only reason I even continued was it was an audiobook and Lauren Graham does it herself. Although even that wasn't much of a help. I drifted a lot listening to this. If it was a print book it would be a dnf. Franny was an okay character but not wonderful. This is a heavy contemporary.
