If you’re looking for a small town, second chance romance, then this is the book for you. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This second chance small town romance did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down. I wish there had been a bit more angst but other than that no complaints.

Ugh I really wanted to like this book!!

I felt it was a pretty boring second chance romance. Oh my gosh way too much tension between the family members. It also was instantly together romance and just felt super boring to me.

I wanted more and spice between the two. I don’t think I was the right reader for this one.

2.5/5 stars

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to review! 2.5/5 stars
This was really cute: in Michigan Jill and Levi, childhood friends and love interests, finally get their second chance romance opportunity when he moves back home. It's book 2 of a series but I don't think you really need to read book 1 to understand this one, and its full of mostly PG-13 chemistry, some tension, family complications and protective brothers, and a bit of single motherhood and business ownership thrown into the mix. Levi is a chef and a huge cinnamon bun which is adorable.
All in all: this is fun. It isn't very deep, the stakes are really minimal, the third act breakup is pretty silly but resolved really quickly, and everything moves at break neck speed. I think I would have liked a bit more depth, but as I was reading something else at the same time that was VERY intense, this was a nice easy breezy add on.

This was so sweet and the way family was ultimately how the characters got through was so nice. Dual POV, which I love. And the way that everyone gives each other advice-but not stepping out of line- was well written. I love the small town feel, and the way that Get Lost Lodge is out of the way.

I need Grayson's story next, and if his love interest is Lainey, that would be even better!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this one! I have enjoyed other books by this author in the past and was excited to read this one. Unfortunately, this one just fell a little flat for me. Typically I really love a second chance story, but it get like details of their connection as teenagers was missing. There were definitely sweet moments in the book but I found myself asking if anything actually happened. Not a lot of angst or drama was involved and it just felt very formulaic and cookie cutter. Thanks for the opportunity to read it!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

This didn't keep my interest and was mostly boring. I skimmed a lot. The romance is closed door, it's third person, it takes place in a short amount of time. Nothing special. A little too juvenile for me. There were a couple of plot lines that went nowhere. No action, just telling. It was nice to catch up with characters from the first Get Lost book and I will say the very ending was spot on.

Interestingly, I found that this book dragged. And that's interesting because I normally like a book where the characters don't fall into insta-love. But I am finding with Sullivan, that the stories tend to be filled with so many small details that I want it to just get moving. This may work for some, but for me, it feels like the minutia of the day-to-day that I am trying to get away from when I read a book. The romance and characters are solid, and I did not feel like having missed book 1 in the series was a big deal. But nothing about this book made me want to pick up the first book or even continue with the series and Sullivan as an author. In the book's defence, the first time I read Sullivan, I rated her book a 5 star read, so maybe I was just not in the reading or romance mood (it happens).

Jillian and Levi are likeable characters. They do fall back into love with each other relatively quickly - almost insta love which I hate - but they were childhood crushes, so it could be believed. I did want a bit more Andrew in this book just to let that relationship fully run its course, because the main conflict there was resolved so quickly that it really didn't have to be in the book at all to make an impact. And the fact that it led to the break up drove me a bit nuts. Yah, maybe not in a romance mood, because I could see the Jilly-Levi break coming and was cringing over it happening. Why is there always a conflict? For a book that spent so much time on the little story elements, I felt like there didn't have to be this big drama to make things work out. In fact, given the detailed approach to the day-t0-day, it probably would have been stronger if they had just fallen together more.

This is not a bad romance. I think it is just a romance without a lot of plot and, as a such, could have moved a bit quicker. Levi is likeable and interesting. Jillian is fine as a lead. And the other characters sit in the background. Maybe if I hadn't just read something similar that comparable blew me away, I would have been more receptive. But I kept comparing and contrasting even the way that characters from previous books were integrated into the stories.

All in call, a fine read. If you have read Sullivan before and enjoyed her books, this one will likely be a solid addition. Not the best, but still fun enough to get through a winter day. For me, not sure if I will keep reading her books.

I do love a second chance romance, and I enjoyed the first book in the Rock Bottom Love series.

This one I did not like as much, unfortunately. I still liked it, but didn't love it.

Levi and Jillian came across as teenagers sneaking around a lot of the time, rather than the 30-somethings they are.

And Levi's family, well, they need to grow the eff up, remove heads from sphincters and love their kiddos as they are.

I do love the town of Smile, and most of the residents. It was good to get back to see what was happening with the characters we had already met.

Jillian's daughter was the real highlight of the book, and her ex the real lowlife lowlight of it all..

I will read more of the series in the future, it is just that this one was not my favourite.

3.5 Stars

Things I loved:
- Single Mom
- Small town
- Outdoorsy
- Single mom of the cutest girl
- Possibly the best romance cover I have seen in years
- PETE!!!!

Things I didn't love
- The ex husband story felt forced and incomplete
- Levi fell way too hard ....didn't even take into account the real impact of being with someone with a kid or what that meant for his life long friendships
- Levi largely felt written by a woman and wasn't a super believable male character IMO
- Too easy, any conflict felt incomplete / glossed over / forced

Overall I thought the author's writing was solid, this just didn't feel like an absolutely complete romance that would leave me weak at the knees and completely connected with the characters. Having said that, I would absolutely read more of this author because the writing style I really did like.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This is a fun, entertaining, good read. Levi and Jillian are interesting, complex, wounded, strong, intriguing, relatable, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance and the path it took to get to their HEA. These two are fun to spend time with. The secondary characters – family, Ollie especially – added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. This book and the series are made up of some interesting characters that add that special something. The story is easy to read and get into.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan is the coziest romance that will leave you soft and warm inside.

Sometimes you just need a low angst, cute romance where you can just read without tension. It's a small town romance with a single mom and professional chef and I love that dynamic. Theres something so romantic and I love how they find each other become their own found family. One thing I love how theres history, build up and chemistry between them. It was so sweet and cozy and adorable seeing them fall for each other and make it work. One thing I love the "right person, right time" trope that will be when it's meant to be. Its such a sweet read that will have you swooning and its a must read!

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan has everything a good rom-com needs, small town romance, single mom, second chance love, AND brother's best friend? It's a perfect comfort read, and would make a great Hallmark movie!
Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for my review copy of this fun book!

This book was adorable and fun. Set in a small town where two old friends reunite. Maybe a second chance at love?

This was ok, while I love a good second chance romance this was underwhelming and a little boring. This is not one that will stick with me in any way.

In the second book of this loosely connected series, Levi returns home to be with his family and hopes to reconnect with Jillian, his best friend’s sister. Jillian is now a divorced single mom but had feelings for Levi in high school that she always thought were unrequited. As it turns out, Levi has always had feelings for her, too. Despite their different circumstances and paths, will they be able to reconnect and make something last now?

I have enjoyed several of this author’s books in the past, but this one wasn’t one of my favorites. It’s very lighthearted and sweet, with closed door romance, so if that is what you are in the mood for, it may be perfect for you! However, I found the romantic tension to be lacking and the chemistry to be nonexistent, making me want to skim to finish the book. There wasn’t really anything making this stand out from the crowd or making it a memorable read, and I didn’t enjoy the third person perspective for narrating because it made it hard to relate to the characters. However, readers that enjoy a small town romance with the second chance trope might enjoy this book.

Thank you to Sophie Sullivan and St. Martin’s Press Romance for the arc and opportunity to be an early reader and reviewer.

Thanks to Netgalley & St. Martin's Press for the
E-ARC! Really cute romance. Loved the small-town vibes again with this setting. Plus fun characters. New fav author.

2.5 rounded up.
I was bored.
The passive third person POV writing style drove me nuts and the FMC wasn’t a believable portrayal of the struggles a single parent faces.
A closed door romance where literally nothing happens.

I really enjoyed this one! I love that we get a small cameo. From book one. This was a perfect read for this time where I don’t want added stress it’s a very calming read not much angst.

I think this would be a great audiobook for when you’re doing chores… I wish I had listened to it.

3.5

"Get Lost with You" by Sophie Sullivan is a delightful romance that wraps you in warmth and charm. The story follows Levi and Jillian, childhood friends who reconnect in their small hometown after years apart. Levi, the best friend of Jillian's brother, returns to start fresh, and sparks fly as they navigate their feelings for each other. The chemistry between them is palpable, and their journey from old crushes to something deeper is both sweet and satisfying. I loved the small-town setting and the strong sense of family and community that added depth to the story. Even though it's the second book in the Rock Bottom Love series, it stands perfectly on its own. Sullivan's engaging writing style makes this a quick, enjoyable read, and I'm definitely looking forward to exploring more of her work. If you're a fan of second-chance romances with a touch of humor and heart, this one's for you! Thanks to SMP for the ARC.
