Thanks to St. Martin’s for the widget. I wanted to read this story since Love, Naturally came out because Ollie of course. I fell in love with Levi so hard. The story of Jilly and Levi was top notch and so well ridden. The fears that Jilly has as a single mom whose been hurt are spot on to real life. I cant get enough of this family and I hope this series continues. It is so pure and fun

Returning to the small town of Smile felt like stepping into a warm embrace, and Get Lost With You captured that cozy, heartfelt charm perfectly. Jillian’s story had been one I was eager to read ever since she was introduced in Love, Naturally, and it was absolutely worth the wait.

Jillian, a hardworking single mom, had built walls around herself after a painful divorce, focusing all her energy on helping her brother run the family lodge. But everything shifted when Levi—her childhood crush—returned to town. He was just as kind and irresistible as she remembered, and his feelings for her were undeniable. Still, opening up again wasn’t easy, especially when she had so much to protect.

Levi, however, was all in from the start. He knew what he wanted, and that was Jillian. Even when she hesitated, unsure if she could trust that he would stay, he never wavered. His patience, devotion, and quiet determination to prove he wasn’t going anywhere made their love story all the more special. Their slow-burn romance, filled with stolen moments and heartfelt conversations, had just the right amount of tension and sweetness.

One of the most touching aspects of this book was Levi’s bond with Ollie, Jillian’s fiercely independent and outspoken daughter. Watching them connect so effortlessly was beautiful, and it was clear that Jillian wasn’t just finding love—she was finding a family. The entire town of Smile added to the warmth of the story, with its lovable secondary characters and strong sense of community.

Though lighthearted and low-angst, the story still carried emotional depth, particularly in Jillian’s fears about letting someone in and Levi’s complicated relationship with his father. Their struggles only made their journey more rewarding as they learned to trust each other and embrace the love they both deserved. And the final moments, set during Christmas, added the perfect touch of magic to their story.

Sophie Sullivan once again delivered a romance that was equal parts tender, funny, and heart-melting. I can’t wait to return to Smile and see what’s next for these characters!

I wanted to like this book but I just had a really hard time getting into it. It was missing a certain spark for me that I needed for the story to really hold my attention. Sophie Sullivan is a good writer. It just wasn’t for me!

Get Lost With You is your typical small town second chance rom-com. Nothing out of the ordinary but still a fun read. The island setting kind of bugged because that island doesn't exist but I get its easier to create your own island than use a real one. Maybe if I didn't grow up on the shores of Lake Michigan it wouldn't bother me so much. Still an enjoyable book.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC

A sweet, low drama second chance romance between Jilly and Levi. Set in a small town, this is all about family, the family we have and the family we make. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. While there are no surprises, it did make for a good read.

I was only able to get 50% through this book. There were a couple of reasons for this. 1. This started out a little corny for me. It is written as a closed door romance, set in a small town as a second chance.

While I think there is a lot of potential here, the insta love spin on 2nd chance + single mom lets instantly bring the kid involved + the corny names + locations and town... It was just too hallmarky for me.

I liked it! If you are a fan of Erin Hahn's books, you'll enjoy this one.

The second in the interconnected standalone Rock Bottom Love series, Get Lost with You follows the second-chance romance of Jilly and Levi. Jilly is the sister of book one's MMC and Levi is a long-time friend of the family (for all of you brother's best friend fans).

This is ultimately a very sweet romance with only minimal drama. The two have known each other for years (though Levi has been gone) and have, at least, liked each other a lot since they were teenagers. Lots of longing in the early pages, but a pretty quick decision to get together.

If you read my review of Love, Naturally, you'll learn that I had major issues with the setting and description of the small Michigan town the books are set in. The good news is that the description is much more minimal here (there are still mentions of mountains, ugh!). I received an early copy, so I definitely hope the Mackinac/Mackinaw mistakes get hammered out in the final proofreading. Pro tip everyone, if you are talking about the city it is Mackinaw, if you are talking about the bridge, it is Mackinac!

What would you do if you found out that your unrequited childhood crush wasn’t actually unrequited?

First off, Sophie Sullivan quickly became an auto-buy author for me with her sweet romances. Second, I’m a sucker for small-town romances, and this one didn’t disappoint. I loved getting to know another member of the Keller family, and Levi was an absolute sweetheart. The way he was all-in from the beginning had me completely drawn in.

I can’t wait to return to Smile for the next book in this series!

While a typo in the first sentence of a book almost made me put it down out of spite, I am glad I tried to get into the story. This is a minimal conflict cozy rom com, if you're up for a beach read - it's quick, it's cute but it's not memorable. While the writing and pacing was pretty good so kept you going, the characters lacked depth. The best friends didn't really get enough air time to understand their bonds and the MMC is straight out of a Hallmark movie, sweet, devoted and utterly without any personality beyond a chocolate lab. It delivers on the cute and stress free story, but needed more depth to get to a 4 star for me.

Super cute and easy to read, closed door romance which is perfectly fine. It had very low angst and drama.

I’ll be honest, I wanted to love this book a lot more than I did. Personally didn’t feel like I connected all that well with the characters until the very end of the book. This book was well written, it just didn’t draw me in how I was expecting it to.

I loved this book just as much as the next one. It was such a cute book and again, will automatically read anything this author comes out with from here on out!

I'm so sorry but I had to dnf this at 17%. I could get over the mass amount of typos because I know extra editing can be done, but I can't get over how mundane, boring, and basic the plot is. I struggled so hard just to get to 17%.

Thank you to SMP and NetGlley for a chance to read and review this book.

This was a cute, fluffy romance. Exactly what I needed and was expecting.

I received this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I didn’t love this title. I liked the female lead and the cast of characters. The setting and plot was good but not as strong as I might normally like. As much as there wasn’t « anything » wrong with the male lead, there were a lot of antagonistic behaviours or traits that he exhibited that I find are normally reserved for the ex boyfriend or a hopeful lover and not the main male character! Levi has a lot going for him but his boldness with Jilly was a bit jarring. I think that if their relationship as teens or kids had been fleshed out a bit more it might have been more believable that they were so close so quickly. It just didn’t do it for me.

A sweet second-chance romance. Some family issues. Heartwarming moments. Kind of wordy in places and I tended to skip over that. When they became intimate I breezed past that, too. It wasn't steamy or overly detailed though, which I appreciate. Adorable little girl added to the story. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy. My review is voluntary.

A new heartwarming romance from Sophie Sullivan that will have your heart being pulled on and your soul feeling like it's been wrapped in a warm blanket. Sophie Sullivan is an incredible author known for her banter-filled closed-door romances, and Get Lost With You is her writing at its best. As a Sophie Sullivan lover I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of Get Lost with You and can't say any more without potential spoilers. Any closed-door romance fans will love Sullivan's newest book.

Ok, now that we've got the bases covered, here's the actual review.

I really liked this book. It was my first by Sophie Sullivan and she really hit all the points I hoped she would. First of all, that cover!! It's so cute. I immediately requested it on NetGalley when I saw it.

Then you have the premise - single mom who had a crush ages ago on a guy who left town ONLY to find out he's back and likes her too. Sign me up!

The story of these two was filled with tension, pining, and tender family moments. Our MMC was down BAD for his girl. He didn't hesitate to pursue her once he realized the feelings were mutual.

It has to be said too that there are several side characters in this that really round out the story. Small town needs that close knit vibe, and Sophie delivered it.

I would recommend to anyone who likes the tropes listed above. Well worth the read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read early. Congrats on the amazing book!

A small-town lake setting, a single mom, and a second chance with her high school crush, Get Lost with You has all the makings of a cozy, feel-good romance. It brings together the best friend's little sister/ brother's best friend trope with a touch of workplace romance, making for a sweet, slow-burn love story.

I loved returning to this world and the charming island setting, it felt like the perfect escape. But while I enjoyed the premise, this one didn't hit quite as much as the first book in the series for me. Some of the minor characters acted in ways that didn't feel consistent, and the grand gesture didn't fully work for me. That said, the small-town charm and heartfelt moments still made it an enjoyable read.

If you love small-town romances with a mix of second chances and close-proximity workplace dynamics, this might be one to check out!

The Keller family is BACK!!!!!!!!! I missed them so much, and I knew this book was going to be a sweet one, Jilly and Ollie get their story and I loved that for them, and LEVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh he’s a DREAM!!!! I loved how there is history between them. Levi and the Keller’s grew up together so he’s no stranger, and now he’s back in town and this time he’s here to stay, and seeing that Jillian is also living there he has even more reasons to stay in town. Did I forget to mention that he’s a chef? This romance was so smooth, because they have had a crush on each other since the beginning, the way Levi loved on this woman!!!!!!! The ending brought me to tears…. Sophie did it again! I can’t wait to read more about them, because there are so many great things happening in their world that I wish I was a part of it lol.
