About this event
A small‑town romantic comedy about mistaken identity, forced proximity, and the collision of private feelings with public attention… It Seemed Like a Good Idea by Lauren Blakely is a contemporary romantic comedy about mistaken identity, second chances, family loyalty, and the mess that follows when private feelings collide with public attention. The story follows Ripley Addison, a hardworking lavender farm owner whose quiet life changes when her famous twin sister’s movie comes to town. As Ripley tries to save the family farm and support her sister’s career, she crosses paths with Banks Kendrick, a protective security expert with whom she shares instant chemistry and unresolved hurt. The book blends romance, Hollywood chaos, small-town charm, and emotional risk into a lively love story.
