“I’d rather have real than perfect.”

Unfortunately, I completely missed the opportunity to connect with Get Lost With You and with Jilian and Levi’s story. I discovered the book via its audio version, and maybe it’s just related to my copy (it was an ALC, not a finished version), but the voice felt a bit mechanical, though the impression vanished once the speed was turned up, and then it became more enjoyable to listen to.
The story was cute, and I don’t have anything bad to say about it, but it also felt a bit empty, except for Jilian’s doubts that came in waves. I guess I was expecting something more like a Forced Proximity trope –or maybe more twists– because of the title, but there wasn’t much conflict in it.That being said, I loved all the scenes with her daughter, though, and the relationship Levi built with both of them. I guess if you want a low-stakes story, cute, without much conflicts, and super easy to read, this one should be perfect.


Thanks to the author and RBMedia for the ALC on NetGalley. My opinions are my own.

What a cute story with terrific narration. Jilly grew up in the town of Smile. She was married at a young age and was divorced and a mother in her 20s. Levi is back in town after being a chef in the big city. Levi and Jilly reconnect after years apart.

The story is cute. Very sweet.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance, audio version and exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It was nice to be back at Get Lost Lodge with the whole crew. This time Jillian Keller is getting her second chance at love with her brothers' best friend, who she crushed on for years as a teenager. One glance after he rolls back into town as a grown man and the crush is back with a vengeance. Only this time, she realizes that the crush is not just one=sided. They fall into a rhythm that feels so natural and easy, but when things get real, she freaks out--it isn't just her heart on the line. Her daughter is invested as well.

This is perfect for fans of second-chance, small town, single parent romances, with banter, extended family antics, and a sweet and swoony happy ending.

The audiobook was wonderfully narrated by Allyson Morgan. Thank you to SMP and Recorded Books for my ALC.

This was a cute little romance. Overall, I liked Jilly and Levi, and while this book had more on the page spice than the first book in the series, I felt less heat between the couple.

The town of Smile and the Get Lost Inn give me a lot of Stars Hollow and the Dragonfly Inn vibes from Gilmore Girls; quirky townsfolk and varied events included.

I was glad to see the continuation in this book that despite the cozy vibes, the main characters are still dealing with real life family issues and also having adult conversations about them. I'm looking forward to what is next for our remaining single Keller sibling.

The narrator for this was fine, but I think I liked the narrator from the first book a bit more.

Thank you to NetGalley and RBmedia/Recorded Books for access to this audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest review.

this is a sweet, tender, cozy story! I liked Jillian and Levi’s reignited chemistry with each other that never got to fully bloom when they were younger. this is such a feel good, cozy story, classic to Sophie Sullivan. I love a cabin in the woods cozy feel, and I was drawn to this book because of the cover and title. I was so happy to see that same coziness and whimsy in the story. Jilly and Levi complement each other so well, giving each other just what they need to finally feel seen and whole in their lives.

I loved the narration of this story. I thought it was paced and produced so well, letting me fully immerse myself in the story.

thank you so much for the ALC!!!

Get Lost With You is a feel good, small town, second chance romance.

It wasn’t quite my cup of tea - I found the story and character development to be a bit too superficial, and found it a bit hard to connect with the story. However I feel like it’s the kind of book I’d like to pick up when I’m looking for a relaxing, cosy and easy read. The low stakes, slow burn, and quaint characters and setting make it a nice escapist option.

I think these factors made it quite the enjoyable audiobook. The story was easy to follow, and the narrators added another level of interest and emotion to the story.

Thank you RB Media for an early copy of this audiobook. Opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed this one! The chemistry between the two MC was so adorable and sweet. The audiobook was really great to listen to. Loved the narrator! I really recommend reading this one, Sophie Sullivan knows how to write a sweet romance book!

Thank you netgalley.

This is a delightful story set in the charming small town of Smile, MI. As a small town on an island, everyone knows everyone and they all know each others’ history. We follow Levi, an accomplished chef, who returns to Smile to reconnect with his family and hometown. There he reconnects with Jilly, his childhood crush. This is such a sweet, low stakes romance as we watch them fall in love. At the same time, the reader falls in love with the residents of Smile and Jilly’s family. The narrator does a wonderful job of infusing joy into her storytelling. I recommend everyone “gets lost” in this escape from reality.

When I started this it felt like I had already read it. And I did I read it on ebook. It was much better on audio. I really like that the story continued.

It was a bit forgettable because I couldn’t even remember much of it since I had already previously read it.

Jillian is a single mom after removing her jerk of an ex-husband from her and her daughter's life. She's now living in her hometown of Smile and helping run her brother's resort. And then, suddenly, Levi Bright turns back up in Smile. Levi is probably best described as the one who go away, but it turns out that he would say the same about Jillian. He left for culinary school and she didn't and their would have been slipped by. But anyway, essentially, immediately upon reconnecting the two realize that there's still an attraction there. What they're also dealing with, though, are issues in their personal lives. For Levi, he came back to Smile partially because he was ready to come back home and partially because his dad had surgery and he wants to be there for him. Except Levi and his dad aren't actually getting along. At all. For Jillian, it's a low level of anxiety and panic that keeps ratcheting up due to outside forces and an inability to accept that things are changing because of said anxiety and panic.

I found Jillian remarkably relatable because I too get overwhelmed and want to scream and shut down when too many things seem to be changing at the same time and I'm not in control. Unfortunately, this was one of those times where seeing yourself in the main character makes you fully aware that it's unfair to be disliking them and yet finding yourself unable to stop. It's just that Levi was so wonderful that her panicking and pushing him away felt so truly unfair! And yet, to be loved like that. You know? All I'm saying is that a man who cooks for you should be treasured. And I would like to try that s'mores cake.

I guess to try and make this review something that could help someone outside of past me, what I'm telling you is that this book is about a man who is down bad for this woman and the woman is unable to trust or believe him because men. And if you are feeling disillusioned about the world and would find that to be a comfort, pick this book up. But if that would make you want to scream for some reason, maybe try a different book. Hopefully that somehow helps you know if this is the one for you... Seems unlikely, but here's hoping anyway.

I think that I would have enjoyed this book more had I read the full thing with my eyeballs, if I'm being honest, because although I adjusted to the narrator in this, her voice didn't quite match what I would have imagined. That is, however, entirely personal preference. I guess I'm just saying, I would make sure that you try out a sample of the audiobook before fully committing to it.

This was such a cute book! The narrator was amazing and the cover is adorable! I will definitely buy this book and i absolutely recommend it.

While a sweet story of a second chance romance in a small town, I found this book a bit boring. The two MCs didn’t run into any major plot twists. There was some apprehension since the FMC has a child, but the whole story was about how they had liked and still like each other. I thought the elements in the story (plot, main characters, etc) a bit shallow.

Thank you to Sophie Sullivan, RBmedia, and NetGalley for the ARC

First off, Get Lost is an absolute gem, and I had the pleasure of reading it as an ARC copy. If you’re looking for a romance that’s funny, sweet, and packed with heartfelt moments, this is definitely one to check out.

Jilly really didn’t want to go to her high school reunion. After all, high school wasn’t exactly her best time, especially when her biggest memory of Levi, her best friend’s twin brother, is her tragic attempt to confess her feelings at 15. Let’s just say that things didn’t go as planned, and it’s been years since she’s seen him. But when she finally shows up at the reunion, she has no idea Levi is going to be there, and let’s just say, things get complicated in the best way possible.

Levi’s back in town, and he’s ready to take a leap after all these years. There’s so much chemistry between him and Jilly, and watching them navigate their past—and their undeniable attraction—is honestly hilarious and heartwarming. Plus, Jilly’s daughter, Oli, might be one of the best things to happen to this book. She’s 9 years old and way better at matchmaking than we all are. Seriously, Oli’s reactions to Levi and her mom? Priceless.

What really stands out in this book is the slow-burn romance. It’s not about rushing through the feels—it’s about building that connection, working through the awkwardness, and taking the time to figure things out. I loved how the focus was on family, healing, and that beautiful slow build of a relationship that feels real and earned.

I really enjoyed "Love, Naturally" and was excited to see what the next book in the series would bring. It was very promising for me trope-wise -- Brother's Best Friend, Second Chance, Single Mom and it was a cute story BUT I felt there was nothing hard sitting to truly capture my attention. I also didn't adore the narrator. I do recommend it, but I might've liked it better if I read it e-book style.

This was such a delightful and heartwarming second-chance romance! I had no idea it was the second book in the Rock Bottom Love series, but it works perfectly as a standalone.

This book takes readers back to Get Lost Lodge, a family-owned retreat that Sullivan brings to life with vivid descriptions, making the setting feel truly immersive.

This was a cute story and entertaining. I did find it hard to get into the story and finish it but that had nothing to do with the writing and more to do with Gillian's ex being a douche. Thank you for allowing me to read and review this ARC

ALC REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Get Lost With You is the second book in Sophie Sullivan’s Rock Bottom Love Series. While the books in this series are interconnected and feature key players of the small town, Smile, they can be read as a whole or individually. I had the pleasure of reading the first book in the series (Love, Naturally) and was excited to return to Smile, the Get Lost Lodge, and the Keller siblings.

Jillian ( the FMC), being a single-mother brought a new perspective on dating in a small town. Her second chance romance with Levi Bright (MMC), her brother’s best friend proves sometimes timing is EVERYTHING. Their relationship had the perfect amount of history which translated into a sense of safety and comfort as well as undeniably chemistry.

I thought the audiobook version of this story was well done. The voice actor, Allyson Morgan, was tasked with narrating the entire story. I usually prefer audiobooks to have multiple narrators. In my opinion, it just makes it easier to follow along. Surprisingly,
Morgan’s talent proved me wrong. She did a great job bringing Sullivan’s words to life.

Special thanks to Netgalley, RBmedia (Record Books), and Sophie Sullivan for gifting me a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. I can’t wait to continue on with this series, assuming it continues.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

What can I say…. I’m a sucker for any story that gives me butterflies. I loved these characters. I was invested & I knew this was going to leave me feeling fulfilled & giddy. 🥰

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.
