Get Lost with You was a fun escape from the cold, dark of winter. Set at a fledgling family-run lodge in Michigan, it took me to early summer and the promise of sunshine and outdoor adventures. Jillian is a single mom who works too hard (no really) to keep her child, her immediate family, and the town of Smile, happy and productive. When her high school crush, Levi, comes back to town, she might just start to put herself first once in a while.

For most of this book the romance between Jilly and Levi is smooth sailing, so the third act misunderstanding was a little jarring. In fact, earlier in the book, I happily highlighted multiple passages where both characters voiced their concerns, insecurities, and feelings. It was refreshing! As was the fact that the male character who left his "big city" job to come home to the small town.
<spoiler>The ex-husband storyline turned out to be a big fat nothing burger. He's the reason for the 3rd act conflict but then he just goes away?</spoiler>

Though it is the second book in the series, Get Lost with You is easy to read as a standalone. I will happily read Love, Naturally to follow Beckett and Presley's story and hope that book #3 features Grayson and Lainey. (fingers crossed!)

I just simply adore Sophie Sullivan and all of her characters. Sophie does a phenomenal job at creating such lovable characters, and Jilly is no different. I’m so glad we got to see more into her life. I would definitely recommend this to others. Thank you!

Levi and Jillian’s second-chance romance is a sweet, feel-good story for lovers of small-town, single-parent, friends-to-lovers, brothers’ friend, dual 3P POV, closed-door romances.

Their story ramped up more quickly than I expected, but, looking back on it, it makes sense for the pacing because there was actually a lot going on besides Levi and Jilly’s path to forever: the goings-on at the lodge, prep for the Founder’s Day celebration, Levi’s family dynamics, Jilly’s family dynamics… It was nice to not have several chapters of the main characters dancing around their feelings.

I also loved seeing Beckett and Presley carefree and in love! I enjoyed Love, Naturally so seeing those babies happy was a treat!

I found Get Lost with You to be both engaging and relatable. Jilly and Levi's love story is as tender as it is sincere. Jilly, a cautious single mother recovering from a painful divorce, is beautifully matched by Levi, whose patience and devotion make him a standout romantic lead. Their relationship is sweet and steady, with Levi’s care for Jilly’s daughter adding an extra layer of depth and warmth.

The chemistry between Jilly and Levi shines. Their journey is a gentle exploration of trust and second chances, with moments of humor and heartfelt sincerity. The setting in Smile adds a cozy, small-town charm, though the “bubble” of the town may feel a bit too insular for people who prefer higher stakes or more dramatic tension.

This book is a delightful escape, ideal for fans of calm, realistic romances without unnecessary angst. However, some parts felt a bit slow. Despite this, the characters—main and side alike—are vibrant and likable, making it easy to root for Jilly and Levi’s happily ever after.

If you’re looking for a grounded, feel-good story about rediscovering love and building trust, Get Lost With You is a great pick. It’s a sweet, low-drama romance that delivers sincerity, charm, and a happy ending.

A very interesting read. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this book. It wasn't really for me, but I am sure that it will be loed by the right audience.

At first glance, this second chance romance seemed perfect for me. Small town in Michigan, both characters back home after separate lives, he’s her brothers best friend. But from the start there was a stated instant attraction between the two, but the chemistry didn’t seem to extend beyond the words. Everything that happened seemed predictable. For me this made it tough to get through when it should be an easy, fun read.

I felt like the FMC and MMC expressed all these grand emotions without actually ever spending much time together. I know there was a mutual teenage crush and sometimes that emotions carry over but who you are at 18 is not the same as 28. It just seemed superficial and would have loved to see something to move them along. I also disliked the breaking up because you are scared of your feelings.

Sullivan is a master of writing characters that have an endearing earnestness. Jillian and Levi have a sweet friends-to-lovers romance that is full of patience, kindness, and chemistry.

Levi moves back to Smile to help out his family and is pleased to find that Jillian is also back in town. He has always had feelings for his best friend's sister and recognizes that this is his second chance to start a relationship. Jillian thinks that her teenage crush was unrequited; as a single mom, she is focused on putting her daughter first and romance is on the back burner. Luckily for us, Levi takes no time in pursuing Jillian while still letting her set the speed at which the relationship will go.

Levi's internal dialogue was cute beyond belief. He is a golden retriever MMC of the highest order.

Jillian has a hesitancy that comes from being hurt and betrayed by her ex-husband. There is a thread of panic that she feels because she is waiting for the other shoe to drop. I appreciated that she tries to steer through the feelings (albeit not always successfully).

I find Sophie Sullivan's writing easy to devour. I look forward to the third book of this series.

Thank you NetGalley and SMP for this E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

2.5 stars

I’ve come to realize that I really hate romance books written in third person. While it had dual POV it just wasn’t doing it for me. Jilly and Levi didn’t seem to have any chemistry growth in this book. They were interested in each other as teens then he left for 15 years and came back and they both stuff have a huge crush on each other but they don’t even know each other anymore or make any effort to do so. Jilly had come home after her marriage fell apart and even tho she’s been stable for a few years and is wanting career growth she still lives with her parents and throws a fit when they want to sell their big house to downsize and travel. They literally wanted to buy a house in the same town just in the otherwise but that wasn’t ok with her. So now after her and Levi get together he offers to buy the house and her parents can live in the basement apartment while they get the rest of the apartment…. Like you’re telling me you waited 15 years to be together and you want your parents in the basement hearing who knows what?! Pass lol The plot seemed good but overall I’m not a fan of how it was done.

Thanks to St. Martin’s for the widget. I wanted to read this story since Love, Naturally came out because Ollie of course. I fell in love with Levi so hard. The story of Jilly and Levi was top notch and so well ridden. The fears that Jilly has as a single mom whose been hurt are spot on to real life. I cant get enough of this family and I hope this series continues. It is so pure and fun

Returning to the small town of Smile felt like stepping into a warm embrace, and Get Lost With You captured that cozy, heartfelt charm perfectly. Jillian’s story had been one I was eager to read ever since she was introduced in Love, Naturally, and it was absolutely worth the wait.

Jillian, a hardworking single mom, had built walls around herself after a painful divorce, focusing all her energy on helping her brother run the family lodge. But everything shifted when Levi—her childhood crush—returned to town. He was just as kind and irresistible as she remembered, and his feelings for her were undeniable. Still, opening up again wasn’t easy, especially when she had so much to protect.

Levi, however, was all in from the start. He knew what he wanted, and that was Jillian. Even when she hesitated, unsure if she could trust that he would stay, he never wavered. His patience, devotion, and quiet determination to prove he wasn’t going anywhere made their love story all the more special. Their slow-burn romance, filled with stolen moments and heartfelt conversations, had just the right amount of tension and sweetness.

One of the most touching aspects of this book was Levi’s bond with Ollie, Jillian’s fiercely independent and outspoken daughter. Watching them connect so effortlessly was beautiful, and it was clear that Jillian wasn’t just finding love—she was finding a family. The entire town of Smile added to the warmth of the story, with its lovable secondary characters and strong sense of community.

Though lighthearted and low-angst, the story still carried emotional depth, particularly in Jillian’s fears about letting someone in and Levi’s complicated relationship with his father. Their struggles only made their journey more rewarding as they learned to trust each other and embrace the love they both deserved. And the final moments, set during Christmas, added the perfect touch of magic to their story.

Sophie Sullivan once again delivered a romance that was equal parts tender, funny, and heart-melting. I can’t wait to return to Smile and see what’s next for these characters!

I wanted to like this book but I just had a really hard time getting into it. It was missing a certain spark for me that I needed for the story to really hold my attention. Sophie Sullivan is a good writer. It just wasn’t for me!

Get Lost With You is your typical small town second chance rom-com. Nothing out of the ordinary but still a fun read. The island setting kind of bugged because that island doesn't exist but I get its easier to create your own island than use a real one. Maybe if I didn't grow up on the shores of Lake Michigan it wouldn't bother me so much. Still an enjoyable book.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC

A sweet, low drama second chance romance between Jilly and Levi. Set in a small town, this is all about family, the family we have and the family we make. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. While there are no surprises, it did make for a good read.

I was only able to get 50% through this book. There were a couple of reasons for this. 1. This started out a little corny for me. It is written as a closed door romance, set in a small town as a second chance.

While I think there is a lot of potential here, the insta love spin on 2nd chance + single mom lets instantly bring the kid involved + the corny names + locations and town... It was just too hallmarky for me.

I liked it! If you are a fan of Erin Hahn's books, you'll enjoy this one.

The second in the interconnected standalone Rock Bottom Love series, Get Lost with You follows the second-chance romance of Jilly and Levi. Jilly is the sister of book one's MMC and Levi is a long-time friend of the family (for all of you brother's best friend fans).

This is ultimately a very sweet romance with only minimal drama. The two have known each other for years (though Levi has been gone) and have, at least, liked each other a lot since they were teenagers. Lots of longing in the early pages, but a pretty quick decision to get together.

If you read my review of Love, Naturally, you'll learn that I had major issues with the setting and description of the small Michigan town the books are set in. The good news is that the description is much more minimal here (there are still mentions of mountains, ugh!). I received an early copy, so I definitely hope the Mackinac/Mackinaw mistakes get hammered out in the final proofreading. Pro tip everyone, if you are talking about the city it is Mackinaw, if you are talking about the bridge, it is Mackinac!

What would you do if you found out that your unrequited childhood crush wasn’t actually unrequited?

First off, Sophie Sullivan quickly became an auto-buy author for me with her sweet romances. Second, I’m a sucker for small-town romances, and this one didn’t disappoint. I loved getting to know another member of the Keller family, and Levi was an absolute sweetheart. The way he was all-in from the beginning had me completely drawn in.

I can’t wait to return to Smile for the next book in this series!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

While a typo in the first sentence of a book almost made me put it down out of spite, I am glad I tried to get into the story. This is a minimal conflict cozy rom com, if you're up for a beach read - it's quick, it's cute but it's not memorable. While the writing and pacing was pretty good so kept you going, the characters lacked depth. The best friends didn't really get enough air time to understand their bonds and the MMC is straight out of a Hallmark movie, sweet, devoted and utterly without any personality beyond a chocolate lab. It delivers on the cute and stress free story, but needed more depth to get to a 4 star for me.

Super cute and easy to read, closed door romance which is perfectly fine. It had very low angst and drama.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Griffin for this arc in exchange for my honest review!
I’ll be honest, I wanted to love this book a lot more than I did. Personally didn’t feel like I connected all that well with the characters until the very end of the book. This book was well written, it just didn’t draw me in how I was expecting it to.
