As a Gilmore Girls superfan, I really didn't have a choice but to read this, and I was actually pleasantly surprised. I read about half of the hardcover edition, but had to return it to the library because it was overdue. I started over at the beginning of the audiobook (read by the author) and reread/finished it that way. 
 The story was cute but not overly fluffy; light reading without being unintelligent. The writing seemed like it might have been influenced by Amy Sherman-Palladino's writing on Gilmore Girls - witty with a little snark, and enough literature and pop culture references to keep you on your toes. Franny is a fun, relatable, real character. Some of the other characters seemed a little weak (Jane, Penny), but they served their purpose in the plot. I kept picturing Lauren Graham as Franny (easy to do since she was reading the book), and wondering how much of the novel was based on her own experiences. The 90's details (velvet scrunchies and other fashion details, answering machine, Filofax pages, etc.) were spot on. I also liked the Franny and Zooey tie-in. 
 My only problem with the audiobook was that the Filofax pages were only available separately as a PDF on one of the discs - not exactly accessible when you're listening in the car. 
 As a side note, I never really thought about the self-discipline it takes to make it in show business (at least for most actors... I'm sure a few just get lucky). The only one pushing an actor to succeed is him/herself. There's no boss forcing you to stay fit, go to classes, study for auditions, etc. It takes a lot of work and a thick skin.
