This was a cute "second" chance at romance. Levi and Jillian were childhood friends (who never got a chance at love) until Levi returns home to help his dad, after having surgery. One thing I love about Sophie's writing is how she can create these moments through her words that pull at your heartstrings one moment and make you swoon at the next. I was so excited for this book and it didn't disappoint. I cannot wait for it to come out so others can "get lost" with this story!

“Get Lost with You” is a second-chance romance book by Sophie Sullivan. While this is the second in the “Rock Bottom Love” series, this book can easily be read as a stand-alone. This book has two points of view - that of Jillian (Jilly) Keller, a single Mom, and that of Levi, her teenage crush who has just returned to their small town. This book could easily be made into a Hallmark TV movie - as this was a sweet book. For me, while it was sweet, I felt like something was missing. Jilly complained about her ex-husband (understandably!) a bit too much for my liking, but her freaking out because things were changing scene I felt was a bit over the top (Jillian, stop - take a breath!). Levi did, at times, come across as slightly too perfect, but I did like the fact that he worked (and wanted!) a relationship with Jilly’s daughter - and those scenes were rather cute. I did think some of the internal drama to Levi’s family could’ve been left out, but as he needed a reason to return home, I understood it. This was a good sweet book.

I’m a sucker for a romance novel that takes readers on a heartwarming journey of love and self-discovery. The story revolves around two main characters, Levi and Jillian, who find themselves on an unexpected adventure that changes their lives forever.

Sophie Sullivan's writing is charming and engaging, immediately drawing readers into the world she has created. The characters are well-crafted and relatable, each with their own unique quirks and personalities. Their interactions are filled with chemistry, wit, and genuine emotion, making their relationship development feel natural and compelling.

The plot is well-paced, blending moments of humor, romance, and introspection. Sullivan's ability to create vivid settings and memorable scenes adds to the overall enchantment of the story. The themes of love, personal growth, and the importance of taking risks are woven seamlessly throughout the narrative.

Overall, "Get Lost With You" is a feel-good read that will leave readers smiling and satisfied. Sophie Sullivan has delivered a beautifully written romance that is both heartwarming and inspiring, making it a perfect escape for anyone looking to get lost in a good book.

This is the second book in the “Rock Bottom Love” books and, while I loved it, it does feel like a book two. Unlike some of her other series (that I accidentally began in the middle or at the end with no issue), I feel like there was a hefty amount of character building that was outsourced to the first that was needed here. Even though I read the first book, I kept wishing for a bit *more* from Jillian and Ollie (who I adore beyond words). Despite this little hang up, I had such a good time reading this and seeing Jillian and Levi reconnect. The side characters are perfection, and Levi made me swoon. A good read…but make sure you read the first one first.

Thank you to netgalley and St Martins Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a nice, cozy book. The middle did get a little repetitive with the FMC constantly doubting the MMC for no real reason, but overall reading this book was like getting a warm hug. Brother's best friend, childhood crushes and HEA makes a very sweet read. Very mild spice, more so than fade to black but not over the top.

I found this book underwhelming and kind of boring. I was hoping for more but it's second chance romance with them instantly being together with issues in the family life. This book just wasn't for me.

This is book is my favorite type a second chance romance. I liked Jilly being a single mom. Levi coming back to town. It like Hallmark movie.

Thank you for the arc!

This book left me wanting lots of yummy comfort food and to spend my summer at camp 😊 It was a sweet brothers best friend, second chance romance. A light but overall enjoyable read. Jilly now living with her parents, helping her brothers run a retreat center in Smile and raising her daughter alone after divorce. Then who comes back to town? None other than Levi, her brothers childhood best friend, aka her childhood crush. Obviously this is the makings of a great romance!

Levi left home at 17 to pursue his culinary dreams, and only returns to Smile after his father has suffered some health scares. Having accomplished everything he had hoped to he is now ready to settle in Smile for good and pursue his cooking there. One run in with Jilly and all of his boyhood feelings rush back.

Will they get a second chance at the failed kiss from their youth? Will Levi be able to repair his relationship with his father and be happy settling in Smile for good? Will Jilly be able to open herself up to a man again after her divorce?

Thank you net galley and publisher for this ARC. This was a cute story. I didn’t realize this was a 2nd book in the series.

I liked the love story of Levi and Jilly. It’s about learning to have trust in another person and having confidence in yourself. I liked the various characters that reflected family and friends in the small community. I did think that the story could ramble and be a little repetitive, but overall I still enjoyed the book.

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan is the story of Jillian and Levi. This is Book 2 in a series, which I didn’t know when I started the book but quickly figured out based on the supporting characters comments. Sullivan did a great job explaining the various characters and their lives, but I can only imagine that everything would make sense earlier if you read the books in order.

Jilly and Levi grew up together. Life happened and he went to school to be a chef and lived far from home for a while. As his parents aged, he returned to find that Jilly is a divorced single mother of Ollie (a 9-year-old girl with a big heart and full of spunk). When Jilly and Levi meet up again, there is serious chemistry. This is a second chance, he falls hard and fast, low on the spice story. An easy to read feel good story but there are few things that left me scratching my head. For instance, Jilly’s ex becomes persistent at one point and after meeting with him once, we don’t hear anything about him again. I thought he would have more of an impact given the way the situation was built up. Also, Jilly’s reaction to her parents putting their house on the market was strange. Overall though a nice quick read and I look forward to the next Keller sibling book.

A big thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Publishing Group, and Sophie Sullivan for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Probably the two corny things I love the most are quirky fictional small towns and a series of stand-alone romances with character crossovers, and Get Lost With You has both! Unfortunately, I felt that a lot of this book did not do either of those loves justice this time around.

In theory, Jilly and Levi's relationship should have been really sweet and easy to root for, but they got together so easily and so quickly that there wasn't much to anticipate. Over half of the book was them just being in the happy honeymoon phase of a new relationship, which wasn't particularly interesting. I think I got cavities from how over-the-top candy sweet everything was. When I read romance, I'm looking for tension and anticipation and something the characters have to work for, and this wasn't it. The most interesting part of the book was the last ~1/3 or so, when there was actual conflict. Sadly, it was all resolved really quickly, and then the last few chapters felt like the author was squeezing in multiple endings because she couldn't pick just one.

I think this story had a lot of promise, and because of the parts I enjoyed I gave this 3 stars, but there was just too much that was bland and hard to get through. I still enjoy Sophie Sullivan and hope to see a redemption for Smile and Get Lost in her next book!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

Overall, this was a sweet second chance story! My favorite character was the FMC’s nine-year-old daughter. She was funny, and sassy, but not in a disrespectful way!

I appreciated the closeness of the family, and how they were happy to include others into the family. I was pretty concerned with what would happen when Jillian met up with her ex-husband, and I thought he was going to ruin everything. I truly loved what Jillian said to him. I think that was my favorite part of the book!

This was a pretty quick and easy read, and an entertaining story!!

This one fell a little flat for me. First of all, please use Jill and not Jilly. That irked my last nerve, she's not 5 years old. Second, there was this enormous build up to the sex and so much description of the foreplay but none of the actual sex..sorry, just felt disappointing at that point after all the build up. A lot of really good potential in the characters and their friends/family. I liked the main guy's relationship building with his father.

Get Lost With You is the book version of a cozy Hallmark movie! Jilly & Levi's story is sweet, romantic, and sure to appeal to cozy romance readers. This book is sweet rather than spicy, and features an adorable second chance romance between a single mom and her brother's best friend. If you enjoy any of these tropes, you will love Get Lost With You!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the arc!

Jillian Keller has found herself back in her hometown of Smile, trying to piece her life back together after her divorce. What she doesn't expect is the return of her high school crush, Levi Bright. The sparks begin to fly as they realize they've always been in love. Life however is much more complicated than it was when they were teenagers. Jillian wants to protect her daughter from becoming attached to Levi who she thinks might not stay in Smile. Levi on the other hand is trying to reconnect with his dad who was never happy with Levi's decision to pursue a career as a chef. This was a cute and fun read though I wish I had been able to connect more with Jillian and Levi's relationship. It fell a bit flat at times for me, but was still overall an enjoyable read.

This is the second in the series but can be read standalone. I vaguely remember the first but know I really loved it, and enjoyed getting reacquainted with the characters. Levi is back in town and is so excited to reconnect with Jilly, especially at Get Lost Lodge. They both had crushes as kids and it’s time they explored what it could have been!

This was a really fun, charming, banter-filled romance—I loved the chemistry and banter between the two characters! Sophie Sullivan writing style has always wonderstruck me. This one will leave you with the warm and fuzzies.

A special thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for a ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The good news about Get Lost with You (I guess) is that it's about as clean as it gets, so if you want your romance without intimate scenes, this will scratch that itch. Eh, that's about it. This book is dull. Jilly and Levi are in love with each other from the beginning of the book, so there really isn't a love story that happens throughout the book that the reader gets to be a part of. There's more angst between Jilly and her ex-husband and Levi and his dad than there is between the pair, and both of the situations get resolved in an incredibly underwhelming way. Also, I found Jilly completely annoying. I really hate books where there's a single parent and the parent tends to display the same level of maturity as their child. Obviously, Jilly isn't throwing a temper tantrum because she doesn't like her bedtime, but she spends sooo much time agonizing over her relationship with Levi and needing reassurance from him that he cares about her. She avoids her ex for weeks instead of just dealing it. And she has a complete meltdown after finally meeting him, then finding out her parents want to sell their house that she decides to break up with Levi even though he had nothing to do with the things she's upset about. The book goes around and around Jilly and Levi being moony over each other and doing things at the family owned resort/meeting space. I found myself wondering how many chapters were left when the same things would happen all over again, but just in a slightly different way. If you want a Hallmark-esque story where there's little to no conflict on a picture-perfect small town island community, by all means pick up this book. I prefer something more interesting. A complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received this ARC from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press Early Reviewer Program in exchange for an honest review.

Everybody is currently buzzing about Sullivan's Can't Help Falling In Love, and I have to be honest, I couldn't get through that one. I had already accepted this ARC before I tried to read her other release, and I was worried about how this would go. There was a bit of a lull around 25% of the way in, which was the same reason I DNF'ed CHFIL, so I wonder if this is common in Sullivan's books. In this book, the lull happened because there wasn't really the sexual tension that had been building, but the characters weren't really together either. I don't know how to describe it, but the story had stalled out a bit. Fortunately, I stuck with it to give a fair review, and I am honestly really glad that I did!

This story has a lot of familiar tropes: small town (very Gilmore Girls vibe; there's even what I would consider a clear nod to Gilmore Girls in the book!), single mom, brother's best friend, third-act breakup, and a grand gesture! I thought these all worked really well together, and the story was comforting. This one is scheduled to be released just before Valentine's Day (Feb 11, 2025). Get Lost With You is so versatile - it will be great in February, June, October, and every month in between.
