Get Lost with You features a second chance romance between two childhood friends that pined after each other for years. Before Levi left his hometown at 17 to pursue his dreams, Jillian decided to finally kiss him and confess her feelings - unfortunately, there's an embarrassing blunder and Levi ends up leaving town with 7 stitches in his chin. After many years away, Levi returns to Smile, where Jillian also remains after a nasty divorce, leaving her and her child a tad traumatized. I believed the chemistry between Levi and Jillian when they first encountered each other again, and I enjoyed Levi's POV and growth over the story. Sadly, I found the book mostly boring and had little conflict or plot I was invested in. I slogged through Get Lost with You, it took me almost 2 weeks to read it since I never got invested. It was short enough I decided to push through it, but towards the end I started skimming to get it over with. The third act breakup was frustrating on Jillian's end and I never started to like her as a person. Overall, there was nothing here that made this a read I'll look back on, as it was pretty basic and boring with little point. I think if you're into low stakes, small town romances with zero angst and little to no plot, this would be a good pick.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press, NetGalley, and the author for sending me an early copy.

This was a cute and easy read. I enjoyed the relationship between Jillian and Levi. I liked them reuniting a relationship from when they were in high school. The romance was a little too insta love for me, but this is just a personal preference of not being the biggest fan of that trope. Overall, this was enjoyable.

I enjoy her books so much so I was very excited to read this one! It was as cozy and cute as I expected! The setting was perfect and I loved the main characters!

This was my "second chance" with Sophie Sullivan's work, as I had previously tried one of the books in her previous series and DNF'd. "Get Lost with You" is a small town, second chance, friends to lovers, brother's friend + single mom who has been burned, rom-com. Basically chock-a-block with the standard contemporary romance tropes. I didn't find this one super compelling, but I liked the story and characters well enough to finish it. A nice, stress-free easy summer read.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for the eARC, in exchange for my honest review.

Loved this book! Different storyline and very well written. I didn't want to put it down. I hadn't read one of Sophie Sullivan's books in a while. I read it at the perfect time, during vacation!

Get Lost With You is a gentle second-chance romance featuring a single mom and a hometown hero. The FMC has returned to her small town to start over, while the MMC has come back after chasing his dreams—and what began as a childhood crush slowly rekindles into something more.

This was a sweet story overall, with emotionally mature characters who communicate well and respect each other’s boundaries. One of the standout elements for me was the male lead—he’s a true “green flag” type: thoughtful, grounded, and passionate about cooking (which he actually enjoys!). It was refreshing to read a romance where mutual respect and emotional intelligence were front and center.

That said, I struggled to stay fully engaged. The story lacked the kind of chemistry and spark between the main couple that would have made their romance more compelling. While nothing was overtly wrong with the book, I found myself getting bored as the story went on.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for providing this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I might recommend this to readers who prefer low-drama, feel-good romances with soft, emotionally secure characters and a small-town vibe.

SPOILER INCLUSIVE REVIEW
When I started this book, all I could think about was maybe my favorite trope is young crushes to grown lovers (idk if that’s actually called something different, but whatever). I really liked the nostalgia of the situation and the shared history.

But it had been years since they’d even talked or seen each other, so I expected more than an insta-love situation (one of my least favorite tropes). Like, I get that it’s not technically insta-love since they’ve known each other, but people change and grow, and while Jilly is super hesitant at first, all of her concerns just kind of disappear suddenly (oh that libido). But it all becomes too rushed, and the buying her parents’ house, moving in together with her kid, plus her parents living in the basement. It’s all too fast, and it seems too wildly creepy.

I also found it really creepy that Jilly and Levi snuck out to a cabin to have sex while there was a children’s summer camp going on, including her own daughter as a camp participant. It just felt icky to me. I know they weren’t near the kids and they were locked away in an actual structural building, but still. It was weird to me. Not at all sexy.

I really liked the book until everyone threw how to communicate out the window. I don’t even blame Levi for accepting the job, so much as I blame her brother for offering him the job without talking to Jilly first. Then her parents selling the house she’s literally living in without even talking to her before it’s listed - like I get she may not have a say, but at least tell her. Damn. You couldn’t wait between that morning and that afternoon.

From that point, I just found myself annoyed with the entire rest of the book. And nothing really got better from there.

This romance was really sweet and heartfelt. The character dynamics among friends and family and the community had that small town cozy feeling that I was hoping for. There was emotional depth, but I wish we would've had more substance on the why of Jillian and Liam falling for each other. I also really liked Ollie! Looking forward to the next book and future releases from Sophie Sullivan.

I’ve realized that Sophie Sullivan’s books just don’t do it for me—they’re perfectly fine but quickly forgettable romances. Get Lost With You brings together Jillian and Levi, childhood friends who haven’t seen each other in more than a decade and are now both once again living in their hometown. Neither one is particularly memorable, but they seem happy together, and this story is a low-stress, low-angst small-town romance.

Small quibbles: I felt like Ollie, Jillian’s daughter, was written as younger than nine, and sometimes it seemed like the timeline/continuity was a little off.

Rating: 4/5

*Thank you to Sophie Sullivan, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for this ARC!

This was one of the sweetest books I’ve read this year! I highly recommend, especially if you like sweet romances!

This is such a cute story! I love the idea of first crushes reconnecting later as loves. I also really liked the small town aspect of this one. The main characters Jillian and Levi are both sweet, wholesome characters. I really enjoyed their love story, and the spice was well done and showed the feelings between the two of them. I enjoyed this one!

This is a good book. The two main characters are Jillian and Levi. They have known each other all their lives. Levi comes home due to his father’s illness. He has quit his job as a chef and come back to start over in his hometown. Jillian works for her family’s inn, she has a ten year girl and is divorced. Jillian and Levi had a teenage crush on each other. There is an attraction. Jillian family is opening the inn and need some food made for it, Levi volunteers for it. Levi and Jillian start dating. They each have issues but together they work them out and fall in love.

I didn’t realize this was part of a series. Book two to be specific. Well now I will have to read the first book.
This one was definitely a cute Romance. Not my favorite. It did keep my attention and I love a good small town romance.

Before Jilly’s life fell apart ending in a divorce, living back at home, and a single parent; she was just a girl with a crush. As the trope goes, Liam is her brothers’ best friend and off limits. After a disastrous attempt in high school to start something between them, Liam and Jilly go on to live separate lives and have separate heartbreaks, until they find themselves back in their small town at the same time.

This book is for the ones who remember what it’s like to have a crush in middle school / high school-that feeling of giddiness while passing notes, daydreaming of a future, and seeing how their last name looks paired alongside yours on your notebook. While that alone would have had me hooked, Sophie digs deeper into friendship, trust, heartbreak, and fear.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Light, charming, and full of feel-good vibes—Get Lost With You is the perfect escape read. With sweet chemistry, a bit of wanderlust, and lovable characters, it’s got just the right mix of heart and humor. If you’re into slow-burn romance with a travel twist, this one totally delivers.

This was super cute. I didn't realize it was part of a series so I would love to go back and read the first book and can't wait for the next. I enjoyed the small town feel and the closeness of the characters. I know this was an insta-love trope but it seemed a little rushed and like some steps were skipped. I was able to quickly connect with Jilly with her need to be in control and to stay routine oriented and feeling overwhelmed. I loved how honest and patient Levi was. Overall I enjoyed this book and look forward to more by this author.

This was a cute second chance at love story. I haven’t read any books by this author but I thought this was a fun story. I liked how Jilly and Levi found love again and had to work through some things in order to be together. I liked that they worked through their fears and were able to make their relationship works. I am interested in reading other books by her.

I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.

The connection between them was not shown, I can sort of feel/see it from their younger years, but not currently. It very much seemed like they just jumped in because "I wanted her/him in high school.". There was never any current conversation about real life things. I did actually enjoy her daughter and that small storyline but everything else was pretty blah.

Thank you to St. Martins Press and Netgalley for access to an e-arc.

Sophie Sullivan writes a great small town romance. This one has the added bonus of second chance and brother’s best friend. I really enjoyed my return trip to Get Lost Lodge!

I ended up mostly reading this in audio. Gregory Abbey did a great job but I do kind of wish there had been dual narration.

This is a cute second-chance romance. Jillian had a crush on Levi since high school, and when Levi comes back to town, sparks fly. But there are real-life complications - Jillian is divorced and has an awesome little girl, Levi is estranged from his father, and they are both busy with careers. I liked the setting of this, I liked the characters (especially Ollie and Levi), and it was a fun read!
