"Get Lost with You" is the second book in Sophie Sullivan's" Rock Bottom Love series. This book is centered around Jillian, a single mom who is raising a little girl while licking her wounds over her divorce. Though her marriage had been loveless for a long time, Jillian still wonders what went wrong. She's surprised when her high school crush, Levi, moves back to town to determine the next steps in his culinary career. While the two were both interested in each other in high school, they were too scared to act on it. But now they're older and determined to not miss out. But will Jillian be able to move on from her divorce enough to give Levi a chance?

I thought this was a cute, sweet romance. However, I was a little frustrated by the third-quarter breakup over a rather silly reason. Plus I felt that it was all forgiven too easily. Overall, this was a quick read! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Before I begin, I would like to thank Sophie Sullivan for allowing me to receive a NetGalley copy of her upcoming novel, Get Lost with You, which is the second book of her Rock Bottom Love series and will be available on Amazon on February 11th, 2025.

Jillian Keller always strives for routine and structure and is happy with her current life at Smile. She likes raising her young daughter with her family’s support and helping her brother run the Get Lost Lodge and doesn’t want anything to disrupt her current routine. Levi Bright pursued and succeeded in pursuing a culinary career but realizes that there’s something a big city is missing. He returns to his hometown, Smile, and wants to reconnect and bring elevated comfort food to the community he has always loved. Jillian and Levi meet again after several years, and unknowingly mutual feelings rekindle. But Jillian has already been hurt in the past, and she’s unsure how to navigate the possibility of dating her brothers’ best friend, and how Levi will impact her daughter’s life. Can Jillian have the courage to let another person in her daughter and her lives and start a new romantic relationship?

This book is fantastic. You have Jillian, a young, kind, beautiful, hardworking woman who is committed to helping the lodge thrive and providing the best life for her daughter. You have Levi, a young, charming, sweet, and handsome young man that loves cooking people food and wants to strengthen relationships with members of his hometown. I loved how Jillian and Levi interacted with Jillian’s daughter, Ollie. Ollie was wonderful, and I liked how supportive Jillian’s friends and family were of her throughout the entire story. The interactions between the main characters were sweet, funny, and thoughtful. I liked how the characters discussed topics such as grief, communication, and healthy relationships. Overall, if you like great family dynamics, cute kids, delicious food, wonderful banter, complex characters, and sweet second-chance brothers’ best friend small-town romance with a bit of spice, then I would highly recommend this book. Here’s the link for more information: Get Lost with You: A Novel (Rock Bottom Love Book 2) - Kindle edition by Sullivan, Sophie. Contemporary Romance Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Jillian likes her nice, quiet orderly life. She works at her brothers business which she loves. She runs into Levi who stirs something inside her. A quick read.

Sooooo good! Fun, sweet and sexy! Refreshing how they said what they were thinking instead of keeping it in.

You can't go wrong with a Sophie Sullivan romance. Book 2 in the Rock Bottom Love series is a classic example of a second chance at love, small-town romance that's affecting and playful. The perfect palate cleanser for when you have been ripped apart by a depressing, non-HEA book. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press | St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for providing an eARC for a honest review.

Sophie Sullivan is romantic comedy gold. Jillian and Levi's story is so sweet. While back at the Get Lost Lodge, it was great fun to get some updates to Presley and Beckett's love story from book one of this sweet and fun series. Highly recommend to fans of Falon Ballard.

A cute small town romance, perfect for readers looking for main characters a little more world weary rather than total ingénues. A nice change of pace to see a single mom get a happily ever after.

“It wasn’t until I came home, until you, that I realized how big dreams could get.”

Get Lost With You was a sweet, second chance romance with wonderful characters and a fun setting. Jillian and Levi both had a crush on each other when they were in high school, but nothing ever came of it. Now both have returned to their hometown and the sparks fly from the moment they meet again.

“Everything inside of him told him this was worth the risk.”

Levi was an absolute doll. I loved how all-in he was from the moment he decided that it was worth it to take a risk with Jillian. He was sweet, charming and all around adorable.

“He made her want to be brave.”

Jillian was such a strong, independent character, but her failed marriage had destroyed her ability to trust and she was reluctant to risk her heart again. Her self doubts created conflict for her when she just needed to trust her heart.

“You’re the something special, Jillian Keller. You always have been.”

Jillian and Levi had a sweet chemistry and their flirty banter was fresh and heartfelt. I loved how Levi was determined to show her that he would be the one that stuck and wouldn’t run away. Full of heartwarming moments, a fun small-town vibe, and a great cast of characters, Get Lost With You was a entertaining, lighthearted read that’s rich with emotion and will have you rooting for Levi and Jillian’s HEA.

Love a book about second chances. I've read a few of Sophie's other books and those are ranked a little higher for me than this latest book. It was a cute love story but way too slow! Would have been cuter as a short story honestly. But loved the reappearance of some past characters in her books!

2.75 rounded to 3

This story gave me all the summer camp vibes and had me craving some cozy comfort food! It’s a light, second-chance romance with a brothers-best-friend twist. Jilly is back home living with her parents, helping her brothers run a retreat center, and raising her daughter after a divorce. When Levi, her brother’s childhood best friend and her long-time crush, returns to town, old feelings resurface.

To be honest, this one didn’t fully grab me, and I found myself skimming to finish it. Some parts felt bland and slow, and I didn’t realize it was the second book in a series when I started. I think reading the first book might have helped me connect more with the story.

Overall, while it had its sweet moments, it didn’t leave much of an impression for me.

I liked this book, but some of Sophie Sullivan's other books were a "love" for me and this one was just a like. I liked Logan's relationship with the brothers and how he was with Ollie. I liked that Jilly's family gave her helpful advice during her freak out. And i liked that the main couple actually communicated with each other. It was a cute story. It felt like there were a couple things out of order and that kind bugged me. It was a sweet, easy read. I knocked it out in one weekend. But I just felt confused a couple of times. My copy said it wasn't the final edit, so hopefully they were caught before production was finalized.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan!

Jillian (Jilly) moved back to her hometown with her daughter after her divorce and has helped her family run their lodge. The story begins with a high school reunion where Jilly thinks she spots Levi, the boy she once tried to confess her feelings for when she was young. When it turns out that Levi, her brother’s best friend, has in fact returned to Smile, Jilly finds that her past feelings for Levi never really went away.

I thought Ollie was a scene stealer in Love, Naturally, so it was so exciting to return to the Keller family and read about how her mother, Jilly would find love. Jilly and Levi will definitely pull you in if you enjoy a second chance romance and unspoken mutual pining. I liked that Levi is very respectful of Jilly’s difficult past marriage and approaches a relationship with care for her and her daughter.

It was lovely to get to see Beckett and Presley again along with the rest of the Keller family!

This was a sweet story of second chances but to be completely honest, I lost interest about half-way through. I'm not exactly sure why? I'm always glad for a happily ever after but it felt rushed, I guess? And I did feel, at times, that it would have been helpful to read the first story in this series.

Overall, a great book and an easy read, just maybe not my pace.

Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's for the e-ARC in exchange for the honest review.

I enjoyed this family and they way they supported each other at their lodge. Not only their family but their friends and others in their community too. This was a great read! Jillian needed to learn to trust again and Levi was just the person to help her do that. Good small town romance read!

TLDR: it felt like the really long summary of a love story instead of the love story itself. It needed more detail and texture to make it believable and make me invested.

I don’t necessarily need angsty but I do need tension and I just didn’t feel it in this book. There was just a bit too much of them talking about their feelings and thinking about their feelings and agonizing over the gravity of it all without actually getting to experience any of their relationship. Why do these two people like each other so much? Show me, instead of just telling me over and over again that they do. For example, the conversations about his food truck. Levi hadn’t told anyone about his food truck, and it’s his dream. I don’t just want to read that those conversations happened and she supported him, I want to read the actual conversation. That’s so important to why he has such strong feelings about her. Similarly, after their first date it says even though they were busy Levi found ways to let Jilly know he was thinking about her. Okay, what does that mean? What did that look like? Did he send her flowers? Sweet text messages? Drop off food? It doesn’t matter what the details are but we do need details.

I'm just putting this out there....future Hallmark movie for sure! I was in a reading slump and had started three different books and couldn't get into them. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night I grab my kindle and read and because my eye sight is shot I picked on Get Lost With You because the cover looked cute. lol, yes that's exactly how I picked my next read at 3am. I am hear to say that my streak is broke and I finished this book in one day. It was the perfect like hearted, feel good, happily ever after that I needed. I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a feel good story.
Jillian lives in her hometown of Smile with her daughter and finally feels settled. She has her family, her childhood home, and a job she enjoys. Everything feels settled until her childhood crush comes back to town.
Levi wants to start his own business and purchase a food truck to sell his culinary goodness. Cooking comfort food is what makes him happy but something is missing and he intends on finding out what it is. He needs to reconnect with his family and mend sone old wounds and hopefully get his dad’s support with his new business idea. Although he has no plan to reconnect with Jillian the two are naturally pulled together. Levi has so many big decisions to make but making Jillian his forever is an easy one.
