If you love books that give you hallmark vibes but with a sprinkle of spice this series is for you. I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read from Sophie Sullivan and this one did not disappoint.
Jillian is now a single mom working at their families lodge. She loves her job but when her crush from the past comes back to town she finds herself wondering whether she can give love a second chance.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one !

This charming story has everything I crave in a cozy contemporary romance—second chances, emotional growth, small-town vibes, and a lovable single mom who's just trying to protect her peace... until Levi Bright walks back into town and gently (and deliciously) upends it all.
Jillian Keller is a woman you root for immediately—strong, structured, and a devoted mom to her daughter Ollie. She's been burned before, and now she's built a life that feels safe and settled. Enter Levi: former teen crush turned city-slicker chef, now returned to Smile to heal old wounds and start fresh. The chemistry between Jilly and Levi is instant and electric, but the slow burn between them is handled with a deft touch—sweet with just a kiss of heat, and always emotionally grounded.
I loved the setting of Smile and the community around Get Lost Lodge—it’s the kind of place you want to visit and never leave. Their shared moments—camping, cooking, laughing, kayaking—are woven in with just enough tension and backstory to make the romance feel earned and deeply satisfying.
This book is a reminder that the heart doesn't forget where it once felt safe. And sometimes, home isn’t just a place—it’s a person.
If you enjoy books with second chances and love that’s worth the risk, then this is the perfect read.
I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Okay so as much as I love a good second chance romance and friends to lovers, this one was just “okay” to me. Like the first one, to me this just felt like something was missing. I just wanted more from it. The story was cute, don’t get me wrong. But just felt like something was missing. Like the first one I did like the story, I liked the characters but I felt like the story was moving a little slow and at times I found it a little corny. I also felt like the chemistry was a little lack luster. I will say though that Levi really did break my heart a little at times with how obsessed he was with Jilly😭

Sophie Sullivan will always be a auto-buy author for me. I just love reading all her stories. I was so happy to be back in Smile and Get Lost Lodge. This time the story was around Jillian and her daughter Ollie. Jilly finds out her childhood crush is back in town and she is so excited. The only problem is that Levi Bright is friends with her brothers. There was a guy ode out in place that there was no dating sisters. But Jilly and Levi overcame that and the result was a sweet love story.

I really, really enjoyed this book and learning more about Jilly and Levi’s past. I really hope there will be another book about their brother Gray as well.

I recommend this book to all those who enjoy closed door romances.

Sophie Sullivan is an auto-buy author for me. I look forward to her new books every year. This small-town, second-chance romance was a perfect read. I loved Levi and how all-in he was with Jillan and her daughter. There were also some family issues that each character was dealing with, and some past hurts that they needed to address to live happily ever after. I loved this one!

Get Lost with You is a sweet and feel-good romance that offers plenty of charm and escapism. Sophie Sullivan does a nice job creating a cozy setting and likable characters, with enough chemistry and banter to keep things engaging. While the storyline follows a fairly familiar path and some moments feel a bit predictable, the emotional sincerity and lighthearted tone make it an enjoyable read. Perfect for readers looking for a gentle, heartwarming getaway.

Sophie Sullivan has written some of my favorite books, so i couldn't wait to see what came next. Her writing always pulls me in, and this book was no different. Thanks so much for the copy of this one!

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for a copy of this book. This was a fun read outside of my normal genre. I found it fun all the way through with likeable characters. Can't wait to read more by this author!

Get Lost with You is the second book in the Rock Bottom Love series by Sophie Sullivan. We return to Get Lost Lodge to follow Jilly and Levi as they navigate a second chance at love.

Jillian is a single mother of an 8-year-old daughter, Ollie, living with her parents in her hometown of Smile after a messy divorce. She is now helping restore the Get Lost Lodge alongside her brothers while navigating single parenting.

Levi, Jilly's childhood crush & brothers' best friend, moved away a 17 years to pursue his culinary dreams. Now a successful chef, Levi returns home to Smile in hopes of settling down and repairing his fractured relationship with his dad.

Levi has secretly pined for Jilly since he was 13, but she was always off limits as the younger sister of his two best friends. Meanwhile, Jilly can't seem to forget the disastrous attempt at a first kiss with Levi before he left for culinary school (& her embarrassment around it). She has loved Levi since she could remember, but she's an adult dealing with being a single parent and a divorcee. She doesn't trust herself, but can't seem to stay away from Levi. And Levi, well, he knows he wants this beautiful woman and her adorable daughter to be his entire future.

Can childhood friends find a second chance in the small town of Smile?

Overall, I enjoyed this small town, second chance romance. I also enjoyed being back in the town of Smile with appearances from Beckett & Presley. I look forward to Grayson's love story in book #3: Maybe This Once.

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

Very cute little story of high school crushes and second chances. It was simple and sweet. The characters were relatable and likable as well. It was a hint slow to start but I did appreciate that they kind of went with the flow

There were a few plot points I thought would be bigger issues but were actually resolved really quickly so it made the over all book feel much lower stakes which is fine. This definitely was more on the cozy side.

2.5/5 Stars

Jillian Keller is a single mother, who has settled in her hometown of Smile. She is helping her brother at their family lodge. They are preparing for their summer grand opening at the lodge. When Jillian reunites with Levi Bright, the boy she had a secret crush on for years, when he begins helping with the lodge, their old feelings start coming back. Jilly must decide whether or not to open her heart again, or keep it sheltered from Levi.

I liked that this was the second book in the series, but I didn't have to read the first book to understand what was going on. Although it was cute, and I love second chance romances, I was so bored with this story. It took quite a while for the story to start, but then picked up pace by the end. The romance was cute, and I love that they were childhood friends to lovers. I do think it felt a little rushed though. There wasn't really any development in the relationship, it was very much they are reunited and instantly in love without getting to know each other again. I'm assuming they probably changed quite a bit from when they were kids. I definitely liked Levi more then Jillian. He was the definition of a walking green flag and he was so sweet with Ollie, Jillian's daughter. He was also extremely patient with Jillian. Ollie was also adorable and I loved the inclusion of her in the story. It was a very quick read though, which is nice.

First and foremost, thank you to Sophie Sullivan, St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for an advanced edition of Get Lost with You in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:
Single mom Jillian Keller lives a carefully structured life running Get Lost Lodge with her brother in her cozy hometown of Smile. Levi Bright, a successful chef in search of meaning, returns home to reconnect and start fresh. When their paths cross again, old feelings reignite, and sparks start to fly—whether Jilly is ready or not. As they work together to prepare the lodge for summer, their relationship deepens, and Jilly must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart again to find something real.

Short and Sweet Opinion:
Sweet and easy, but kind of middle of the pack. The setup was cozy, the characters mature, but the chemistry just didn’t land.

In-Depth Opinion:
This was a very middle-of-the-road read for me. The premise had a lot of promise—childhood acquaintances reconnecting in a charming town with a cozy lodge setting? I was sold. But unfortunately, the execution fell a little flat.

The biggest struggle for me was the dialogue. There were so many moments that pulled me out of the story because it felt so scripted and unnatural. I wanted more organic, lived-in interactions and less overexplaining or forced emotional moments.

The third-person POV added to my detachment. I usually don’t mind it, but here it made it harder to feel immersed in the characters' internal lives and emotions. I appreciated that both Jilly and Levi were written with maturity—they actually communicated, respected boundaries, and modeled a lot of green-flag behavior. But despite that, I didn’t feel the romantic chemistry between them. Their relationship was nice…but not swoony.

Overall, it was a perfectly fine read, just not one that left a lasting impression. I think readers who prefer low-drama, feel-good stories with emotionally responsible characters might enjoy it more than I did.

First I would like to thank St. Martin's Press for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

What I Loved:
- Brother's best friend, I LOVE this trope so much and this one absolutely delivered
- Smile, I would love to live in a small town like Smile where everyone knows one another and looks out for each other
- Ollie, Jilly's daughter is such a spunky little girl who just wants to help wherever she can and Levi was so cute with his interactions with her
- Chef, I really enjoy books that have unique jobs for their main characters and Levi going to culinary school and becoming a chef was fun

If you are looking for a sweet brother's best friend, single mom, small town romance with a fun town great characters and a sweet love story I would recommend this book.

I thought my review had already been sent for this book. Apologies if this is a duplicate post.

If you love Hallmark movies, then this book is for you. I love Hallmark movies. Predictable, yes. Cheesy, absolutely. Happily ever after, of freaking course!! It's what draws me into Sophie's novels. She not only makes me fall in love with the characters but also the town and landscape. I'm not an outdoorsy type of woman. I'd much rather be inside, but Get Lost Lodge has my whole heart. Ollie does, too. She is a little firecracker. The chemistry between Levi and Jillian felt a little off in the beginning, but I think given what she went through, it's understandable that her heart is guarded. I loved this story, the redemption aspect of it, everything. Total swoon fest for me.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press (Griffin) for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own!!

This was such a fun, cozy read! I really enjoyed the characters and were rooting for them the whole way through.

This was a sweet second chance, brother's best friend romance. It didn't include the typical big brother freak out which I appreciated (that's always my least favorite part of that trope) I jumped in not realizing it was a part of a series but it can totally be read as a standalone

A cute family-centric romance with surprising layers. It wasn't a difficult read and would be a great summer lakeside pick. It made me want to book a glamping experience for myself and enjoy nature with all the comforts and my own hot chef nearby.

This was a super sweet second chance romance. The characters had low drama and they rekindled very quickly.
