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.

I'm bummed because this book has all of the tropes I love: childhood friends to lovers, second chance romance, even the small town setting! I felt like once the love interests ran into each other, it was all gas, no brakes, and they were in love all over again even though they don't even know the adult versions of themselves.

Anyway, thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy via Netgalley to read and review.

This was a sweet second chance romance. The characters were likeable but the overall storyline felt like it was missing something.

4⭐️2.5🌶

This small town friends-to-lovers is so sweet and adorable. I definitely needed this as a pick me up read between some dark and emotional reads. This book had all the comfy cozy small-town vibes with all the second chance romance thrown in.

Jillian is a divorcee with an 8 year old daughter who is living with her parents in the small town of Smile after her divorce. She had moved away in her early twenties to follow a businessman who turned out to be a piece of poop,. Once she figured that out, she moved back to beautiful small town she calls home.

Levi, Jillian's childhood crush, moves back to Smile to help his parents as they get older. He moved away at 17 to go to a prestigious culinary school. Then he built his career as a professional chef and many big name restraunts, until he had enough of the big city and wanted to move back to Smile to be with his family and friends.

Levi has been in love with Jillian since he was 13, but she's the younger sister of his two best friends. Jillian has been in love with him since before she could remember. He went to culinary school when she was only 15 and after a disastrous attempt at a first kiss.

As adults, they realize they both still have feelings for each other. But they must relearn each other as they are now.

3.5 STARS
After reading and loving Love, Naturally last year, I was so excited to return to the small town of Smile and the Get Lost lodge for Jillian's story in Get Lost With You. I loved the trope combo in this one, that it was written in dual POV and loved all the glimpses of the character's that I had already met in the first book (BUT, I don't think you have to read Love, Naturally first/before reading Get Lost With You). I felt like the pacing was off for me at times in this one, as I was fully invested at the start, but lost a bit of steam during a few parts in the middle. I still enjoyed seeing Jillian and Levi's relationship develop (as well as Ollie's relationship with Levi) over the course of the book.

Overall, I liked this one and rated it 3.5 stars. If you are looking for a small town romance with the brother's best friend, friends to lovers, single parent and second chance romance tropes, check out Get Lost With You, out now!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

⭐3.25. This was a very cute and cozy second-chance romance story. It seems both leads never quite got over their big crushes on each other since high school, and it's only developed into stronger feelings as adults. While at times this seemed a little too corny (laying it on real thick), it was sweet. Levi is patient and caring and willing to do what it takes to get the girl; meanwhile, Jillian is cautious of her already injured heart and protective of her daughter.

It seemed that, although they knew each other as kids, they haven't been in touch for years, and now he's back in town and bam! things happen so quickly! Like, a bit unrealistically to quick, he's already practically professing his love for her and saying he'll win her over. A lot of my notes read "too much, too fast!!"

Parts of the dialogue between characters seemed a bit much, kinda lame, and definitely eye-rolly at times, but even so, it was still somehow sweet. Other times, the dialogue seemed very direct or blunt, and awkward. It didn't seem to flow quite as well as I'd like dialogue to flow- there was no fun banter that I'm always craving in romance books. There seemed to be a lot of grand monologues, very verbose, profound thoughts. While it was always very beautiful, no one talks like that in the real world. "It's like you had a dozen fortune cookies memorizes for this moment." Thank you for pointing this out, Jillian! haha

Any spiciness is off-page, which makes this a pretty tame, cozy story. It's very much a lovey-dovey kind of story, it was nice.

There was some character development in the story. I don't think Jillian changed all too much, aside from letting Levi in and maybe learning to accept she can do things without knowing the future, and doing things even while scared. Her character was a bit bland - she's a mom and a sister, she runs the lodge, and she got hurt by her ex - that's all I seemed to learn about her. I think I got a bit more from Levi, and he did a little changing in the story, although, issues that plagued him and his dad throughout seemed to have been resolved rather (too) easily once one of them actually tried.

Levi & Jilly's story was cute, with a lovely HEA with cutie Ollie (probably my favourite character!).

Beckett and Presley, from book 1, are nauseatingly adorable in this 2nd book. It's cute, but like, a bit too much haha. Good to see they're still going strong though!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

I’ve been waiting to get back to the wonderful town of Smile. Watching Levi and Jillian’s story unfold was an absolute delight and put a goofy grin on my face. I love the characters, the friends, and the family dynamic that is woven into this love story. It’s a second-chance romance that will have you not wanting the story to end 🩷
