My issue with this book is that it was slow and I felt like nothing actually happened.
I’m also not a fan of insta love and 20% into the story the main characters are already head over heels in love. I get that they knew each other when they were kids but that was a long time ago and it felt unrealistic to me that they would have such strong feelings upon being reacquainted for like a day.
I have read another book from this author before and really enjoyed it so I was pretty disappointed with this one. The writing was pretty and the story was lighthearted but it just felt boring to me.

I am, however, always thankful for the opportunity to read an ARC - thanks to Netgalley and the publisher.

Tropes:
Second Chance Romance
Small Town
Brother's Best Friend
Single Mom

I was so excited to read this book, and it did not disappoint!

First of all, these tropes are absolutely THE BEST. Levi and Jilly have the best chemistry, and I love how determined Levi was to show that he was the guy for her, no matter what.

This would be a perfect beach read. Light and fun, but still so engaging! Check this one out.

This book had potential, but it just didn’t work for me. The romance felt rushed—Levi moves back, and suddenly they’re all in with no real buildup or tension. I wanted more longing, more depth, and more emotion, but everything felt surface-level. Jilly was also a pretty frustrating FMC, and some of the writing felt a bit too cutesy. I usually enjoy Sullivan’s books, but this one fell flat. Maybe it was the overly sweet tone or even the fact that the town is literally named "Smile"—either way, it just didn’t click for me.

Sophie Sullivan has a way of creating a world that draws you in and makes you feel like you are among friends. I love the world of Smile and the Get Lost lodge. The small, island town feels like a warm hug. It was a pleasure to dive back into this world in this second book of the Rock Bottom Love series.

I liked getting to know Jillian better in this book, after meeting her in Love, Naturally. She is a strong, young mother, and I could see a bit of myself in her. I am also a lover of structure and routine, but I do love an adventure as well. Levi is a fun love interest, with a big heart and a big dream. I was a big fan of their romance, and was cheering for them throughout the novel.

The supporting characters are what make this series sparkle. I love Keller family and how intertwined they are in each others’ lives. I cannot wait to see what the next book in this series has in store.

All in all, it was a fun second chance romance, if a bit predictable. But, that’s what we turn to romance for, right? And it certainly delivers on that happily ever after we all crave.

Is there a Sophie Sullivan book that I don't love? No. Everything she writes is so immediate and lovely to fall into! You won't regret reading this one.

What a beautifully written book. It shows the the real side of love and life (for the most part). I live books where you feel like you are part of the family, and really hate for the book to end. Each family member was well written. The one bad thing I have to say, (without a spoiler), is that one part of the story wasn't finished, I feel like since that character was in most of the book, that, that part of the story should have also had an ending. That would have made the book perfect.
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Jillian Keller has rebounded after divorce, raising her eight-year-old daughter on her own while working at the Get Lost Lodge with her family. She’s in a good place in her life, happy to be in her beloved hometown of Smile. However, her teenage crush, Levi Bright, has come back to town and the attraction she felt for him back then reignites and grows the more she sees him, which is often since he’s been filling in as chef at the lodge. It’s fast and a bit disconcerting considering her past failure with love.

Levi Bright left Smile to pursue his dream of becoming a chef and achieved his goal, but now he is craving a life closer to family and friends. He’s never forgotten his best friend’s younger sister, Jillian, and the kiss the “almost kiss” before he left for college. Now that Levi’s back, that simmering attraction they felt as teenagers is sparking up again. Levi’s ecstatic over his blossoming romance with Jillian, but knows she’s wary of jumping in too fast.

I adored Levi! He embraced life with gusto, from reaching out and achieving his dream of becoming a chef to realizing he wanted more from life than just a career and then doing something about it. I admired Jillian for picking up the pieces after a bad marriage and then thriving as a single mom. Both had to deal with messy issues: Jillian with her awful ex, and her personal fears of repeating the past; Levi had an angry and hurt father with his loving mother caught in between.

The picturesque setting of Smile, in the Lake Michigan area, sounded lovely with Get Lost Lodge as a perfect rustic lake getaway!

Get Lost With You was a sweet, small-town, second chance romance with a lively secondary cast of characters! It was a joy to experience Jillian and Levi’s journey to HEA!

I found myself wanting a little bit more from this one. The characters seemed a bit all over the place and the story didn't feel cohesive. The romance was cute, I just think it was missing something.

Book two in the Rock Bottom Love series, Get Lost is exactly what you would expect from a Sophie Sullivan book- a sweet romance. Single mother Jillian has moved back to her hometown- aptly named Smile- with her daughter Ollie after a bad divorce. Her heart skips a beat when she find out her teenage crush, Levi, has also returned home after leaving years ago for culinary school. Luckily, his heart skips a beat too, and it isn't long before they're falling hard for each other.

Both the characters of Jilly and Levi were well written and likeable, as was the small town and all its small town vibiness. Jilly is smart and sure of herself; Levi is steady and good with Ollie. There was one steamy scene but it ended with a fade to back.

The problem for me is that it just wasn't memorable. There wasn't any pining or angst as you waited for them to get together because it happens pretty much right away. There isn't any tension in their relationship, so halfway through the book I was wondering what the last half would be about...

Overall, it was a quick, cute read. If you want a cozy, happy, stress free book that'll keep your faith in good men and love stories, this is a good rec for you.

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for my earc. A 3.5 star read downgraded to a 3 star.

This one lacked depth, lacked romance, lacked emotion, and even the plot felt lacking. I’ve enjoyed Sullivan’s work in the past but I could get into this one. Maybe because I couldn’t look past the town name of Smile. Maybe because the writing felt very “sweet”. Idk. Either way it just left a lot to be desired.

I received an advance review copy for free from the publisher via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The cover of this book made me immediately want to pick it up and read it! I love that it’s a second chance for Jillian and Levi. I am also a big fan of the single parent trope! Overall cute read

Another amazing Sophie Sullivan light hearted, funny and swoon worthy book. A second chance at love in a small town where love is sweet and blooms.

I absolutely adored the first book in this series and was eagerly anticipating the second installment, but sadly, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The story revolves around Jillian and Levi, exploring the complex and long-buried feelings they have for each other. Levi, being her brother's best friend and a sweet, caring chef, shared Jillian's feelings all along—such a tantalizing premise!

However, I found the characters themselves to be rather dull. Unfortunately, they didn't bring enough excitement to the romance, and I found myself losing interest pretty quickly. The only real standout for me was Ollie, whose adorable antics provided some entertainment, but even that wasn’t enough to keep me engaged for long.

Maybe it was just my reading mood at the time, but this installment didn’t resonate with me like the first did. I was hoping for more passion in their conversations, especially since it’s a closed-door romance. Overall, this one just didn’t quite capture the magic of the earlier book.

Absolutely stunning! I couldn't wait for book 2 to arrive and Sophie did not disappoint. This was a beautiful friends to lovers / second chance / small town romance and I'm here for it. I love how all the characters intertwined and some much needed goodness from Book 1 revealed and it melted my heart. Plus I adore Ollie and can't get enough of her! Overall, a fantastic read and I highly recommend!

I enjoyed this cute romance book! I do wish I read the first one beforehand so that I could hear becket and Presleys relationship. I love the long time friends to lovers trope, and adding a cute child into the mix, makes it that much cuter!

I love Sophie Sullivan as an author and as a person. But this just wasn't my favorite. It was verrrry sweet, Levi was a walking green flag, the small town was charming. But something was missing for me. Maybe it was not seeing much into their past in order for their instant connection to feel genuine. Maybe it was the lack of real substance in any of the characters. Maybe it was the minor hiccup with the ex-husband that amounted to nothing. I can't quite pinpoint it.
There were plenty of redeeming moments to be sure. Loved how down bad Levi was and how much he loved her daughter Ollie. I can appreciate the grand gesture in the end and all of the loving things said between Jilly and Levi.
I'm happy they got their HEA but while it wasn't predictable HOW they would get there, it was predictable that they WOULD. It felt too sweet and easy, but if that's what a reader wants, then this is the book for them!

This was a sweet story about childhood friends becoming lovers. There are so many cute, swoon-worthy vibes in this one. Overall, the romance is adorable. It was enjoyable to read!

I had high expectations for this one after reading Sophie Sullivan’s Can’t Help Falling in Love and it was everything I had hoped for. It is a sweet and swoonworthy romance with a picturesque setting. There’s just something about the lodge/camp vibe that had me completely drawn in. This one had some of my favorite tropes with second chance romance and forced proximity and I loved Jilly’s growth throughout the story!

This was a quick, cute read! The mutual pining was really sweet and I loved how patient Levi was. I wish there had been a little more tension in the story because they both know they like each other pretty quickly so there weren't any big obstacles. But if you're looking for a cozy, low-stakes story this is perfect!

Tropes:
✨Childhood crush/mutual pining
✨Dual pov
✨Brothers best friend
✨Single mom (of a 9 year old)

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan is a charming, feel-good romance with just the right amount of heart and humor. The small-town setting is cozy, and as always, the characters are lovable, with sweet chemistry and a hint of spice. While it didn’t quite reach five-star perfection, it’s a delightful escape and an excellent pick for anyone who loves a comforting, easy-to-love romance. Solid four stars!
