Jill and Levi fell in love as teenagers and have a second-chance now later in life. They've both moved back to their small town of Smile and are just hoping the timing is right. This has all the wonderful feels of small town, second chance romance. It is lower on the spice (not overly graphic but not closed door) but high on the romance and tension. I absolutely loved it! 4.5/5 stars for me; highly recommend! *I received a complimentary copy from the author/publishing company via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

First thing... Levi and Jilly are so stinking sweet and I loved routing for them. However, their relationship didn't feel developed enough. They knew each other as teens and it felt like that was their basis for their relationship- which I didn't buy. I would have loved to see them get to know each as adults.
I find the drama with her ex could have been developed a bit more. It seemed kind of anti-climatic.

Levi is the definition of he falls first and chases what he wants. Levi returns to his small town to build a new future for himself, and one of his goals is to make amends and win over Jilly again. He chases her with his whole being and is patient with her as she learns to trust him again. The meddling small town where Jilly is raising her daughter and helping her brother run Get Lost Lodge is the perfect setting for this second chance romance. He is a constant appearance in Jilly's life after he's hired as the new chef at the lodge. This one is for the fans of the small town vibes as two people learn to love each other again after their initial teenage love affair! Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the gifted eARC. All opinions are my own.

3.5 sweet second-chance romance stars

Do you have someone from your past that feels like the one who got away? You wonder what would have happened if you got together? That’s the story here with Jilly and Levi. They had crushes on each other in their teens, but their first kiss never happened.

Now, they are both back in their hometown. Jilly is divorced with an adorable daughter, Ollie, and Levi is back to care for his father, who just had surgery. Will the sparks still be there?

Jilly is helping her family with the Get Lost Lodge on a lake in Michigan. As they prepare for the summer opening, she keeps running into Levi, and Jilly finds she still has sparks with him!

Levi went to culinary school and found success with restaurants in Vermont, but he wants to be closer to family now. His dad is still very disappointed that Levi didn’t go into the construction business with him.

Jilly and Levi worked for me as a couple, and I rooted for them to find a second chance at romance. I loved that their town was called Smile. Jilly is cautious after a disastrous marriage and protective of her daughter, and I hoped she would give Levi a fair chance.

I enjoyed this one and didn’t realize it was the second in a series. I will have to read about that one soon!

This is my first book by this author. That being said, I will admit... I liked it way more than I was expecting. Second chance romances are a big weakness of mine, and this had everything I could have possibly wanted in a book. Lots of fun times and very little problems. I will definitely be reading more after reading this!

I want to personally thank NetGalley, as well as the author, publisher, and anyone else involved in providing copies, for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I want to thank the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this arc.

This was such a cozy, second chance romance. Levi and Jilly were so sweet and wholesome, and i loved all of the interactions with Ollie. I absolutely love the Keller siblings, and I am excited to read Grayson's story next!

Levi and Jilly grew up together and went to the same high school. With both of them being afraid to share their mutual feelings for one another, they go their separate ways. 15 years later, they both wind up back home in Smile, and neither want to waste another second being apart.

This book was so fun. The town of Smile gives Gilmore Girls vibes with the nosey neighbors and townies that overstep into personal matters. My only complaint is that I felt like it moved really quickly in the beginning and dragged a bit in the middle. Like we jumped into a relationship really fast in the beginning, and i feel like it took away from the middle of the book. But other than that, it was amazing!

Jillian comes back home after divorcing her husband for what he did. She now has a young daughter and a very cautious nature when it comes to any sort of relationship with the male species.
Levi has just returned home from doing what he has always loved. Being a well known chef was always his dream, but he needs to get himself together and figure out what his next steps are.
When Levi and Jillian realize they're both home again, the sparks fly, but Jillian refuses to be hurt again by any man, much less Levi.!
Her first crush caused some serious self respect issues, and she won't let that happen again. Levi has other ideas.
I found this book to be cute, charming and an easy read.
If it's warm outside, head to the beach with this one. If not, crawl up in a comfy chair with some hot chocolate. Either way this read is worth the time.

I rounded up. This was a cute small-town/second chance romance. Not a lot of major tension, just a sweet story with little conflict. I definitely want to read Beckett’s story and I’m sure we will get Greyson’s story soon.

I received an arc from netgalley and the publisher.

Jillian Keller finally has her life well figured out. Her daughter Ollie is thriving, the Lodge her and her brothers run is booked for the summer, and is even expanding to hosting events off season. She loves her life in her small hometown that put her back together after her divorce. Then she goes to pick up her meddling best friend at her high school reunion and thinks she caught a glimpse of her high school crush who moved away before they could ever be something.

Levi Bright has moved back home, he left at 17 to chase his dreams of studying at culinary school, and becoming a chef. He had been thinking of moving back home for a while, but her dad having surgery gives him the perfect push. So running into his childhood crush, and best friend's little sister Jilly is the most he can ask for.

They slowly start to see if what they almost made happen as teens is still there, and this time Levi won't let the bro code get in his way of pursuing the woman of his dreams

I really loved getting to visit the Keller family and Smile island again. Watching as another one of the siblings falls in love with the backdrop of Get Lost lodge was so much fun. The characters were likable, and the romance was believable. I just felt that the conflict was a little over the top then resolved too quickly. No aspect of this book went deep enough, it all felt very fast and surface level, but nonetheless this was a fun and enjoyable story.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the arc of this book. All opinions are my own.

I really loved this one! I am not the best at writing reviews sometimes, but sometimes books take you by surprise and this one did just that. I got invested a few chapters in and couldn't put it done. It was so good! I highly recommend this one.

Love a Sophie Sullivan book! Cuties in a small town and second chance romance is exactly what I enjoy! Great read. :)

Thank you NetGalley and Sophie Sullivan!

I love a small town romance and especially a second chance one. I enjoyed watching as Jilly and Levi reconnected, however I felt like their relationship was missing some depth. I would have liked to see them rekindle their romance over time versus diving in head first. I just felt like things moved a little too fast between them especially since Jilly was a single mom that had been through a messy divorce. She was portrayed as being careful and level headed, and as much I love to see a fmc throw caution to the wind this romance was just too fast. I also sometimes had an hard time following whose chapter was whose; as they flipped between Jilly and Levi. Overall a good, light romance read if you don’t read too much into things.

It was sweet second chance romance. I loved getting to revisit Get Lost Lodge and the little town of Smile. I felt like we didn’t get enough Ollie and Levi though which was a shame. I liked the characters and the storyline but I wish there was a little more tension. It just felt like everything was too easy and breezy. Still worth the read and I’m anticipating that this will not be the last in the series the way the book started trying to set up other side characters with romances.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Overall, Get Lost with You is a solid, cute read that delivers what it promises—a fun,  closed-door, low-stakes romance with a sweet ending. If you’re looking for a small-town romance with a touch of nostalgia, give this one a go!
Would recommend for fans of Hallmark-style books or anyone in need of a heartwarming escape.

Smile, Michigan – Present Day

Single mom Jillian “Jilly” Keller once left the island where she grew up, but now is happily back home in Smile working alongside her brothers at the Get Lost Lodge. She doesn’t need a man in her life as her daughter Ollie and her work keep her busy. But one night at her class reunion, Jilly looks up and right into the eyes of Levi Bright, the man she loved as a teenager but could never have. Turns out Levi, now an acclaimed chef, has returned to Smile. While Jilly tries to avoid contact with Levi for fear of her attraction returning, it doesn’t work. Perhaps the truth of the matter is that maybe she doesn’t want to avoid him.

Levi has a difficult relationship with his father, who wanted his only child to go into the construction business with him. Instead, Levi went off to culinary school and built a career in the restaurant business. But with his father recovering from an illness, it’s time to return. Jilly was always the girl who got away, though he’d been warned by her overprotective brothers to stay away from her. But they are now adults and the attraction between them sizzles even hotter. First comes rekindling the friendship, next comes…love.

Jilly and Levi forged different paths once they reached adulthood, but they ended up coming back to each other in GET LOST WITH YOU. She was the little sister of his best friends, but he always felt differently about her. In the end, it worked out well for him when he went away and found a career. But for Jilly, she fell for a man off the island and tried to build a life with him and their daughter. Sadly, her husband turned out to be a jerk and she’s back home, where she is the happiest she’s ever been. Because of her crappy luck at marriage, Jilly isn’t interested in getting involved with a man, including the one guy she never forgot…Levi. Things soon change.

GET LOST WITH YOU is part of the Rock Bottom Love series, with the first book out now called LOVE, NATURALLY. While Jilly’s brother Beckett and his girlfriend Presley from that book appear in this tale, this one can be read as standalone. The people around Jilly and Levi suspect there are feelings between those two, but it will take some pushing to get them to admit they like each other. One thing that helps is Levi’s cooking. Ollie wants to be his sous chef and both mother and daughter enjoy his food. Once they realize they like each other a lot, a few hot kisses and time alone are spent. But once again, Jilly’s bad marriage puts a barrier between them. After all, Ollie comes first. She can’t see her daughter get hurt again by bringing a man into their lives only to see him leave. Meanwhile, Levi is slowly healing his relationship with his father.

A delightfully enjoyable romance with endearing characters and sparkling dialogue, GET LOST WITH YOU is a treat to read. Don’t miss this one if you love to read contemporary romance.

Returning to the charming small town of Smile in Get Lost with You was a cozy and enjoyable experience. Sophie Sullivan once again captures the warmth of community and the appeal of the Get Lost Lodge, making this second book in the Rock Bottom series a pleasant read.

Jillian and Levi’s second-chance romance had plenty of sweet moments, but I found myself wishing for more tension and emotional stakes. Their journey felt a little too smooth, lacking the "will they/won't they" pull that can make a romance feel truly compelling. While their chemistry was undeniable, the lack of significant conflict made the story feel somewhat predictable.

That said, if you're looking for a light, stress-free romance with small-town charm and a heartwarming cast of characters, Get Lost with You is a great choice.

I received this book as an advanced reader copy from NetGalley, but my review and all opinions are my own and left voluntarily.

I thought this was such a sweet #secondchanceromance book! I loved all of the small town vibes, family elements, and nature appreciation. There was the perfect amount of spice and the cutest love story. I definitely recommend to any cozy romance lovers!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
3.5 stars
This was a cute and fun story and I enjoyed being back with this setting and group of characters. It’s a quick and easy read which is what I was looking for. I love when the MMC is a chef and this did not disappoint on that front.

This was a sweet second chance romance. The characters are easily likeable and the romance is nice. But I also felt bored reading it, like not enough feelings and intensity maybe. The relationship was easy. It’s sweet but forgettable and I think this was just not for me.

Jilly has successfully settled back home, and in enjoying raising her daughter and working in her beloved town of Smile. Jilly is doing just great, but has fallen into a routine that doesn't include any romance. So, she's thrown when her childhood friend and crush, Levi, moves back home.

Levi was a accomplished chef in Vermont, but decided he was ready to go back home to where his family and friends are. Things are a little complicated with his own family, but what isn't complicated are his very real and very strong feelings for Jilly. Falling for your best friends' little sister isn't the best plan, but Levi isn't missing his shot to b with the one that got away.

This was a sweet, cozy, low spice second-chance romance. It is the second in the series, but it can be (and was) read as a standalone. Jilly and Levi are very cute together, and the cast of characters is great...except for Levi and Jilly's parents. ****SPOILER*****: Levi forgave his father too quickly for my taste, and Jilly's parents are total dicks for letting her find out they were SELLING THE HOME SHE LIVES IN by seeing a for sale sign on the front. Like, wtf??

Anyway, this is perfect for those looking for a sweet romance set in a small town.
