Sophie Sullivan is an auto-buy author for me, and I always enjoy supporting my friend. While the beginning of "Get Lost with You" started off slowly, the second half of the book was engaging and definitely worth it. Levi was the standout character for me; I loved how supportive he was of Jillian and how adorable he was with her daughter, Ollie.

Read if you enjoy:
-Small town
-Single mom
-Second-chance romance
-Michigan location
-Family/small business
-Workplace romance

I had forgotten that I had read Sophie's other book where one of the brothers meets someone at the lodge. I loved that book so much, and to realize partway through this was a runoff story about the sister finding love again was so exciting. As we all know, in most books there's a period of both characters pushing themselves away from each other before realizing they are actually meant to be. This book was refreshing for its immediate connection. There is no fighting it right from the start; almost instantly both Jilly and Levi touch each other, almost kiss, and you just get to read about their love evolving and deepening. Sometimes books do this, and it feels rushed and inauthentic. Not in "Get Lost With You" it's perfectly plotted and well rounded.

Thank you, Netgalley, for my ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

- Small town romance
- Second chance
- Single mother
- Friends to lovers

This is an adorable story set in the small town of Smile. I mean, that really sets the tone for the book. I found myself smiling multiple times while reading. This is not a true second chance romance as the couple never were together previously. But she always liked him...

Jilly has moved back to Smile with her young daughter Ollie after her marriage ends. Currently, she lives with her parents, who are going to begin travelling to follow their favorite band (this is serious life goals for me, so I was thrilled for them!) She is working at her brother's resort and is mostly content with her life.

Then she finds out that her childhood love Levi has returned to town. He has moved back because his father had surgery, plus he missed the small town and its quirky residents. And he notices that Jilly has grown into a beautiful woman. Now that he's interested in her, she starts to pull away due to trust issues.

Are these two destined for each other...or destined to only be friends?

Get Lost with You gave cozy, small town vibes. While this. is the second book in the series it works as a standalone book. I did not read book 1 first and did not know at any point that this was the second in a series. I am looking forward to going back and reading the first one. I would give this book 3.5 stars because it met my expectations but didn't surprise me in anyway.

5/5 ⭐️ This was my first read by Sophie Sullivan and it won't be my last! Book number 2 in her Rock Bottom Love Series follows single mom Jillian and Chef Levi both back in their hometown. Their love story is definitely one to swoon over! I can't wait to read more of this series. Highly recommend to all your rom-com readers!

Sophie Sullivan did a fantastic job with creating characters who are lovable and had a meaningful second change relationship. This book is perfect for those who love second chance relationships & family love--the unconditional, undying family love!

Sophie's books are always a warm hug and this one is no different. I loved the first installment of the Get Lost Lodge and this continued the good vibes and sweet feelings I wanted for Jilly. I was into this from the first page and I'm SO excited to read everything Sophie writes in the future.

Jilly has moved back to her hometown of Smile with her daughter, and has made a life for herself helping run her family's lodge. Levi has moved back to town after a successful career as a chef on the East Coast, and is reconnecting with his hometown and his friends, Jilly's brothers. This is the story of Levi and Jilly getting reacquainted and a will they/won't they about a second chance! Really loved this one!

Thank you for letting me read an early copy of this book. It was a lovely second-chance romance story and the characters were wonderful. The pacing of the story could have used some work (especially the extra long bedroom scenes). Overall, though, Get Lost With You was a nice quick beach read!

Jillian Keller is enjoying her new life in her hometown of Smile. She’s raising her daughter with the help of her family and is helping her brother with Get Lost Lodge. She has all that she needs.

Levi Bright left after high school to pursue his culinary dreams, but years later has realized that something has been missing in his life and has returned home to Smile. He plans to get reacquainted with the friends he left behind and plans to bring a different culinary experience to Smile.

Jilly and Levi had crushes on each other back in high school, but due to the Bro Code, Levi didn’t act on them since he knew he was leaving. Is the Bro Code still a thing when you’re an adult? Is there a possibility that they could have a chance at love?

I loved this book! I was excited when I was invited to read an advanced copy as I’ve enjoyed all the books I’ve read by Sophie Sullivan. I also really enjoyed the first installment in this series. I can only assume that there will be a third installment and Grayson will have his chance at love—I can’t wait!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for allowing me to read to an ARC of this novel. #NetGalley #GetLostWithYou

Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press for the eARC and Recorded Books for the ALC of Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan! These are my honest thoughts!

I adored this story. I had so much fun watching Jillian and Ollie fall for Levi, Jillian for the second time in her life. I ended up primarily doing this one via audio, as I have a hard time eyeball reading 3rd person POV books. I wished the audio was dual narration... but the narrator did a great job doing both parts, and I rarely got confused which perspective each chapter was, as I commonly do in 3rd person POV books.

Levi stole the show for me. He was in love with Jillian before, but never acted on his feelings because he was leaving. Jillian was so embarrassed from trying to kiss Levi before he left when they were still in high school, but so much had happened to her between.

I loved the concept of their family lodge, Get Lost Lodge, and working with her brothers. Ollie was the highlight for me, and watching HER fall in love with Levi, and Levi with her, bumped this from a 3.5 to 4star read in my opinion.

Read if you love:
- Single mom
- Second chance
- Small town
- Michigan
- Island-life
- Small businesses
- Workplace-ish
- Solid relationships with a little bit of ex drama near the end
- Everything working out just the way it was meant to

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC!

Sophie Sullivan has quickly become one of my new favorite authors for small town, feel good romances. I was excited to pick this up after Love, Naturally and it met my expectations! I loved how sweet the main male character was and who doesn't love a chef!

I wish this had more verified drama. This book felt very immature. In the sense that I feel Jillian would have more trauma after her divorce, and trying to protect Ollie. She hopped into things way too fast, and didn’t think things through and then had a stupid blowup over quite literally nothing except her being a drama queen.
And Levi calling her jilly was giving me the ick. Like call her literally anything else. Her name maybe or Jill, or sweetheart. I don’t know I just didn’t enjoy my time reading this, it felt very surface level and immature and I wasn’t the biggest fan of it.

Thank you netgalley for allowing me to read this in advanced in exchange for my honest opinion.

ARC from NetGalley in exchange for honest review.

3.75/5 - If you’re a fan of Sweet Magnolias or Virgin River, then this book is right up your alley. A sweet second chance romance is what you’ll find here. A cute, quick read that’ll leave you saying “Aw!”

Jillian, a single mom in the small town of Smile, becomes reunited with her high school crush, Levi, when he returns to town. Levi left his fancy chef job in the big city and is back to help his parents recover after his father experienced medical problems. Once Levi and Jilly are reunited, it was instant sparks. This is a feel-good, second-chance, friends-to-lovers romance that was a cute, quick read.

The story was a little cliche, but it didn't stop me from giggling and enjoying the blooming romance. Super cute story!

Loved the ideas for this book! There were great things happening, I just didn't LOVE them. I liked the story, but didn't really connect with the characters. The events that took place I love. The lodge was wonderful, and the activities that they hosted. Ollie was adorable. But I didn't really feel like I was in the middle of the relationship with the MCs. The book as good, I just could have used a bit more feeling and not so much just about what was going on in life around them. I also felt like there was some skipping around as far as the plot goes. Overall, decent book. Just wanted more from it!

If you love second chance small town romance books then you will love this one. The romance is so cute and wholesome and easy to read!

The love story of Jillian and Levi is tender and heartwarming. I really enjoyed this read by Sophie Sullivan. The town of Smile really lives up to its name and the people of this town are sometimes grumpy but all and all delightful. I do hope there will be another book in this series. 5 stars from me!

Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan
Rock Bottom Love series#2. Contemporary small town romance. Not completely closed door but no explicit scenes either. Cinnamon role hero, second chance. Can be read as a stand-alone but the couple from the prior book is part of the family in this story.
Jillian Keller has settled back in her hometown of Smile, Michigan with her daughter. She is helping her brother run Get Lost Lodge with ideas on new services, cost cutting and other measures to improve business.
Levi Bright left his small hometown to follow his dreams of being a professional chef. He achieved success and realized he wants more community and family in his life. He returns to Smile hoping to put his expertise to use in the somewhere in the town. Getting an offer to be a chef at Get Lost Lodge gives him the chance to cook, be creative and be involved with an up and coming business.
Jilly and Levi renew their friendship and realize the attraction is still smoldering and with a little care, can turn into more. Camping, laughing, playing with her daughter, and working together brings them closer where feelings bloom brighter. Jilly has been hurt in the past. She’s a bit cautious. But Levi knows this is the family and future he wants. He will prove to her that he’s the one she wants as well.

I am slow to finish this book because it clicked with me and I loved it so much. I read slower the more I like the book and I found myself reading a few pages and then setting it aside to savor and go back to later. Family, a love that can’t be denied, and busybody helpers made this story glow with overflowing warmth. A young girl that you can’t help being charmed by. A growing attraction and love that can’t be denied.
I’m swooning and in love.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley.

Thank you to SMP Romance for the advance reader copy. These opinions are my own.

This book was a grand escape. Levi returns to his hometown with hopes of bringing his experience as a big city chef to creating food there. And he immediately bumps into Ollie, his friends' little sister who he knows is off limits. But now she is back in their home town and single with a precocious daughter.

This book explored family dynamics and secrets really well. And it leaned into the effects of holding grudges and when to make amends. I enjoyed all of the many family drama plots.

But most of all, I just adore the small town of Smile and the Get Lost Lodge. I want to go hang out at the lodge and eat Levi's elevated comfort food. And then I might do all the activities nearby while returning to sleep in a deluxe room or cabin. Seriously, can this place really exist please?

In the meantime, it's a great book to be transported into.
