Thank you so much for the opportunity to read an ARC of this novel.

Unfortunately, I just wasn’t pulled into the first chapters and decided to DNF.

This was a fast read and a nice romance to "get lost" in for awhile. I'm not usually one for second chance romance, but this was a nice mix of passion and sweetness.

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan was everything I love in a romance! Give me a second-chance romance any day of the week, and add in a small-town setting? Yep, I’m sold. This book wrapped me up in that warm, nostalgic feeling I crave in a love story, and I couldn’t get enough of it. The chemistry between the main characters was undeniable, but what really made it shine was the heart of the story. It wasn’t just about rekindling a romance—it was about personal growth, forgiveness, and realizing that sometimes love finds you again when you least expect it.
And can we talk about the side characters? I am obsessed with the way Sullivan weaves in a cast of supporting characters that feel like family. They added so much depth and charm to the story, and I’d honestly love to see more of them in future books. They’re like the cherry on top of a already-sweet romance.
This was the perfect blend of small-town charm, swoon-worthy moments, and heartwarming nostalgia. If you love second chances, small towns, and a cast of lovable characters, this book is definitely for you!

Second-chance romance is not typically my go-to but I LOVED "Love Naturally" with Beckett and Presley, and was happy to return to the Get Lost Lodge and see what was in store for Jilly's journey to her HEA. While I enjoyed this installment of the series, it didn't have the same coziness as the first one, in my opinion. I did love the connection that Ollie brought to the family dynamic and the care that Levi showed for her was heart-melting. I am never a fan of the third-act breakup and that still applies. It just feels like a way to throw in some angst and drama, I don't like it. That said, I will definitely read Gray's story when it comes out and am also curious about the easter egg left regarding Lainey and Graham...I don't know if we need a whole book, but maybe a novella would be cute for them. Also, could we get a map in the third book? I'm trying to picture this seemingly adorable island? Inlet? Archipelago? Peninsula? where all of this takes place, but it's difficult. Give us a map. :)

Thank you the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was fine. It was cute and sweet but I got a little bored. I think the romance happened too quickly for me...I needed more build up. The conflict leading to the 3rd act break-up felt forced.

I liked Jillian's family and Ollie was super cute. The small town vibes were very cute.

I enjoyed this romcom with likeable characters, the small town setting and dual point of views. The main male character fell fast and had an instant attraction which I don't mind, I liked this aspect of their second chance romance. Overall a cute read.

Get Lost with You gives us:
- small town setting
- single mom
- best friend's sister
- dual POV
- a mmc who is all in right from the start
- a second chance at to act on unrequited feelings from when they were teens

Overall this is a sweet story with very likeable characters in a cozy setting. Their instant attraction and intensity of feelings for one another upon meeting again as adults happened a bit too quickly, but I decided to just go with it as a reader and embrace it!

It was a cute book, but I found it a little hard to get through. But I think that's more so on me than the author. I'm not a huge fan of third pov, for me it makes the book feel very disconnected. I do think it was overall a decent book and for people who don't mind reading in third pov and love cute small town books, this ones for you.

For starters, I love love love Sophie Sullivan and I am usually so smitten with her stories and the love stories she writes - but this one unfortunately did not do it for me. I loved the small town of Smile and the characters in the first story as it helped set the background, but with all the references to the town and history in this one, for some reason it took away from the romance.

I though the hope of rekindling a childhood crush and the hope of finding love after a divorce made for some sweet, heartwarming moments but the way it was written made it seem like they were supposed to have had crushes on each other this entire time and I never felt that once.

Sometimes a story without any drama is refreshing to read, but in this case, without the lack of any tension - it gave the plot nowhere to go.

I liked this book. It was a sweet 2nd chance romance. I love books in which the MMC is a chef or can cook. I ended up craving grilled cheese sandwiches and smores. Wonder why?? lol

Thank you, Sophie Sullivan and St. Martin's Press, for giving me an ARC copy of this book to review.

Thank you, Netgalley, the author, St. Martin's Press for the gifted e-book! ❤️ #gifted. My review is comprised of my honest thoughts.

Read this book if you like: Dual pov, single mom, best friends sister, steamy

This was so cute! I loved the previous book, and that couple is present here too. Jill is a single mom who has always liked her brother's best friend. I highly recommend this!

After meeting Jillian in Love Naturally, I couldn’t wait to read her story! As a single mom battling the aftermath of a toxic marriage, her journey to finding happiness was everything I could have hoped for. I’ve read many Sophie Sullivan books, and they’re always adorable love stories filled with delightfully charming settings and flawed characters you can’t help but love. There’s so much heart in her writing. From the tender-hearted moments to the laugh-out-loud ones, you can feel the emotional depth, and this book is once again proof of that. Jillian 100% deserved her happily ever after, and I’m happy that I was able to experience her journey!

Allyson Morgan did an excellent job of bringing Jillian’s story to life through her narration! The pacing and emotion felt genuine and allowed me to immerse myself in the story.

After realizing that the man she married wasn’t the man she thought he was Jilly has returned to her hometown with her daughter Ollie for a fresh start. It allows her to be close and work with her family, but it also brings Levi back into her life. She doesn’t believe she is ready for another relationship but not only does she find herself working with Levi but there is also the way he is with her daughter.

Levi is a chef who has recently returned to his hometown to be there for his family. Seeing Jilly again reignites the feelings he had for her as a teenager but this time around he isn’t going to hide them. He is going to show Jilly that he is the man that she and her daughter can count on to be there for him but that means showing her she can trust him with her heart.

This a second chance romance for Levi and Jilly and it is finally their time. Through life experience and maturity that realize what and who really matters however that means first overcoming the past.

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.

Thank you to SMP for my ARC.

Once again - I want to move to the fictional town of Smile, Michigan - even though it's way north and scares me because I dislike cold weather. I love the whole town's characters and way the author works these stories. Yes, we have some angst, but luckily I know this author's writing and didn't fret too much. Levi was a dream come true, although he had some issues to deal with from his past. Jilly - past issues too mixed with a intense need to protect her daughter (maybe herself more.) And Ollie - kids always make books better in my opinion! A feel-good book that will end with a Smile on your face.

Such a cute and swoony romance! Jill and Levi were each other's high school crushes, but it was not their time. They lived separate lives, and now once again meeting in their hometown, it's like they were never really apart. Loved how their relationship with each other did not have any awkwardness after years apart. It seems like their romance was insta-love; however, keep in mind that they do have history. Levi knew what he wanted-Jill-and did not hesitate on making a move. While Jilly had some reservations, she realizes that she also deserves to be happy.

>>> Single-mom
>>> High school crush
>>> Second chance
>>> Small-town
>>> Swoony

I have to pick up the first book of this series!

Thank you to @stmartinspress for the e-arc!

I was so excited to have the eARC copy of Get Lost with You in hand that I was immediately able to start after finishing Love, Naturally. I adored Jill and Ollie in the first book and was excited to learn a bit more.

Get Lost With You is about second chances, first crushes and first loves that never quite leave. It was nice to see Levi all in from the beginning, and Jill a little hesitant.

“I think we each get wrapped up in our versions of how we expect things to go, and then when others don’t fall in line, we feel a disappointment we shouldn’t.”

The little glimpses of Becket and Presley as well as other Smile town favorites was also so fun. Hoping there will be a third book alll about Grey getting his happily ever after.

Thank you St Martin’s Griffin for this eARC to read and review.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

First, I have to say, I want to go to the "Get Lost Lodge" If only it was a real place...:)

This is book two, but you could read this as a standalone even though there are cross characters from other books. One of my favorite tropes is childhood friends/second chance at love. Jilly and Levi crushed hard on each other growing up even though Jilly was the sister of Levi's friends. They had an almost kiss (which literally scarred him! lol) and then immediately after Levi went away to culinary school at 17. Fast forward years later...

Jilly has been back living in her childhood home with her parents, divorced after being betrayed by her husband, and raising her daughter alone while working at the Get Lost Lodge. Levi is now back as well after a successful career in the big city, he is looking for something that is missing. in life

The connection between Levi and Jilly was so sweet. While it was a little bit insta-love there was a history between the two, so it felt organic enough. Jilly was rightfully hesitant after being burned by her ex (boo hiss!) but Levi was patient and all in from the start. His interaction with Ollie made him even more genuine.

While there was some emotional turmoil for Jilly that happened all at one time, I was frustrated with her for taking such drastic measures ruled by the intensity of everything. Poor Levi! But sometimes you need that third act angst to get a grand gesture and a happy ending. Levi is total book boyfriend...and Jilly fairly quickly realizes her hasty decision (mistake!) and tries to make amends, too.

The ending couldn't have been more perfect!

Small-town drama…Big-time feelings…

Welcome back to the small town of Smile! Jilly + Levi = Swoon!! This was a sweet and cozy read! I really liked the small town/summer camp vibes. I loved Jilly and Levi’s story - they had good chemistry and I really liked how their relationship developed.

Levi cooks! I love it when the MMC can cook - add s’mores into the mix and I am sold! I also loved his relationship with Jilly’s daughter Ollie. No spoilers, but you will love the ending!!

I really love how the start of this book started off with a high school reunion; it seemed to be the perfect way to really introduce the characters. Jillian Keller has really struggled with settling back into her hometown of Smile - this time it's as a single mom of a young daughter, Ollie, and she's not going to let anyone disrupt her routine.

This is a second chance romance, so obviously there's a history, but I absolutely loved how he was all in from the very beginning. Levi is just truly impressive - he's loving and generous with his time, and the way he treats both Jillian, and her daughter is a really beautiful thing.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
