A Totally Normal Love Story
SteamMade for people who love Hallmark movies — and people who love to hate them.
A Totally Normal Love Story is a cozy small-town romance about coming home, healing old wounds, and finding love where you least expect it. When Willa returns to Maysville, Kentucky after years away, she reconnects with old friends, helps preserve the town’s beloved traditions, and slowly falls for a familiar face who never left. Amidst the festival planning, family history, and small-town charm, Willa must decide whether this quiet life — and this love — is worth staying for.
Get to know the quirky residents of Maysville. Fall in love with its festivals, its history, and its unmistakable sense of community. Watch a traditional romance unfold exactly as you’d expect.
Nothing strange. Nothing hidden. Nothing weird going on here.
Please enjoy your stay in Maysville.
