Jillian Keller went back to her hometown of Smile to recover after her divorce a few years ago. Jilly and her daughter Ollie have made a new life surrounded by family and friends. But one thing is missing from Jilly's life. After her tough break-up, she's put up walls to protect herself and focuses on giving Ollie the best life she can. Then Levi Bright comes back to town, and Jilly's perfectly crafted life starts to crumble. Levi is the man who got away, her crush for as long as she can remember, and seeing him again is awakening all those feelings she's kept under lock and key.
From the beginning of the novel, Jilly and Levi are both head over heels. Told from both of their points of view, we see into their past and what they hope for the future. When Jilly's ex contacts her, she shuts down her budding relationship out of fear. What can Levi do to show Jilly that he's all in?
All in all, this was a quick second chance romance. If you enjoy a small town romance and a close-knit family, then definitely give this series a try!
Thank you to @StMartinsPress and @NetGalley for a digital copy for review consideration. All opinions are honest and my own.

This was a quick and easy read. This romance was such a sweet read (sometimes too sweet). But I have really been enjoying second chance romances lately and this one was so cute. I enjoyed Jilly and Levi’s story and if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and sweet read, this one is it.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a copy of this e-ARC.

Another really cute book by Sophie Sullivan. I loved the characters and the storyline so much. It had me swooned all the way through.

sophie sullivan you little tart!! you’ve done it again!!! these are always such whimsical, beautiful love stories that i devour in one sitting!!! these characters feel so real you just want to put them in your pocket and keep them forever!!

Painful to read. Slogging through was just ugh. How many times do we need to be reminded what outdated car Jillian drives. Focus less on details like bad clothing and more on the characters or plot. Just didn’t work for me.

This was a super cozy 'curl up and forget the world' book and I loved it! Cute and entertaining for those days you don't want to get invested in something heavy.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this small town romcom. I gave it three stars and really enjoyed this second chance of love. ❤️

3.7⭐️
Jilly y Levi se gustaban cuando eran adolescentes, pero él era el mejor amigo de sus hermanos y, además, sabía que se iría a otro estado para estudiar, por lo que nunca intentó nada con ella. Parecía que nunca tendrían la oportunidad de ver si su amor florecería. Pasaron los años, ella se casó, tuvo una hija, se divorció y estaba contenta con su vida. Él, por su parte, se enfocó en su carrera, aprendió todo lo que quiso y alcanzó el éxito. Sin embargo, al final se dio cuenta de que estaba solo y regresó a su ciudad natal para estar con su familia. Allí se reencontró con Jilly, y las chispas volvieron a saltar. ¿Será esta su oportunidad?
Me gustó. Al igual que el libro anterior, es una lectura ligera, sin tanto drama, centrada en la relación. A pesar de ello, no todo gira en torno a la misma, ya que tanto Jilly como Levi tienen cosas que resolver, aspiraciones y sueños. Y, bueno, al final hay un final feliz.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Much like the first in this universe, Sophie Sullivan’s Get Lost with You is sweet, charming and easy.
This world is like a hallmark movie complete with adorable, quirky side characters.
Jilly, Levi (and Ollie!) were adorable.
There are a few loose ends that I’m curious if they’ll be mentioned in the next installment (I’m assuming there will be one, there’s another brother to romance!). But overall, this was a stress free, palate cleansing read!
Thank you to St. Martin’s Griffin & NetGalley for the eARC!

Jillian, a single mom who has escaped a toxic marriage, has moved back to her small town and is helping her brother run a local lodge. Levi escaped that small town to chase his dreams of being a chef, only to find his dreams have changed. Although Jilly has had a crush on Levi forever, she never expects anything will happen.
This was a sweet book. The romance between Jilly and Levi was cute, but I especially loved the interactions with Jilly's daughter, Ollie. This book also explored family dynamics in addition to the main romance.
I felt like I was missing a touch of the backstory as this was the 2nd book, but it definitely still works as a stand alone. I also wasn't a fan of the miscommunication that happened on multiple accounts. I just wanted them to address their feelings like adults.
This book is perfect for those who like small town romances, second chances, and nosy family members.

This was really cozy and wholesome, and I really enjoyed getting to see this world again!
-- ty to the author for giving away the advanced copy at an event!

Jilly has been back in her hometown for a few years after divorcing her husband. She and her daughter live with her parents and she runs a lodge with her brothers, and she likes her life as it is. But when Levi moves back into town, her feelings for him come back up and shake things up--hopefully for good.
I liked the bones of this story but I wanted more of pretty much everything: more description, more conversations on-page, more of a delve into the characters' emotions. I felt like I was at a distance from everything and wanted to be more immersed. As a result, I had a hard time getting immersed but I did like the plot and the characters (though, again, I wanted a bit of a deeper insight into them), and I think it being closed door worked well.

Sophie Sullivan has done it again with Get Lost With You, the second book in her heartwarming trilogy, Rock Bottom Love! This small-town romance is like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket—it’s full of familiar faces, family bonds, and a love story that feels as genuine as it is sweet.
The story centers around Jilly, a single mother navigating life’s challenges, and Levi, her childhood friend and her brother’s best friend (swoon). What makes their romance so captivating is how grounded it feels. They’ve both loved and lost, yet their connection blooms naturally, rooted in years of shared history and a growing sense of trust. It’s not all sparks and longing glances (though there’s plenty of that!); it’s also about late-night conversations, small gestures, and mutual support.
If you’re a fan of tropes, this book delivers in spades: small-town? Check. Brothers’ best friend? Oh yes. Friends to lovers with a dash of second chances? Absolutely. But what makes it stand out is how it weaves those elements into a heartfelt exploration of family. Jilly’s relationship with her daughter, Ollie, is tender and joyful, while Levi’s interactions with Jilly and her family show his depth and kindness. You can’t help but root for him and them as a couple.
And speaking of family, seeing more of Beckett and Presley from the first book (Love Naturally) was a treat. Their dynamic with Jilly and Levi adds warmth and humor, making it like catching up with old friends.
This isn’t a 5-star read for me because the pacing occasionally felt a bit slow, particularly in the middle. But the emotional payoff at the end? Totally worth it.
If you love sweet romances with heart, laughter, and a dash of small-town charm, Get Lost With You is a must-read. I’m already counting down the days for the final book in the trilogy!

Second chance small town romance with your brother's best friend who you've had a crush on all your life? A super sweet read! Jillian Keller is a single mom who has had a bit of a rough time but has finally happily settled back into her hometown of Smile and is raising her daughter alone while helping her brother run the Get Lost Lodge. Jillian was burnt in her last relationship and hasn't really opened up her heart yet... but there is one many who has always had her interest: Levi Bright, her brother's best friend and the one boy she's had a crush on since she was a teen. Levi Bright is a chef who has done it all but is ready to try and find his dream by moving back into his home town. Levi is determined to reconnect with family and friends and build his own restaurant. When Levi and Jilly run into each other, old feelings start up again.... and now Levi is determined to sweep Jilly off her feet, if she would only let him. Jilly is cautious about opening her heart up again and being hurt, but Levi is in it for the long run and wants to prove to Jilly that her feelings are absolutely returned. A very sweet and soft read, perfect for anyone looking for a really cute time. Very fluffy and adorable small town vibes. Levi is the ultimate love interest, he's super caring and patient with Jilly and so supportive. He's honestly just so sweet. The romance was sweet from the get go and this will definitely feel like a cute hallmark movie. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a light hearted romantic read.

My sincere thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan. I give my unbiased opinion of it in the following review.
I love a childhood crush romance and Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan is such a sweet example. Jilly had a huge crush on her brother's friend Levi. She even threw caution to the wind when she was 15 and tried to kiss him just before he was to leave for culinary school. That didn't turn out too well, but what she didn't know was that he wanted to kiss her just as much. Fast forward 15 years and Levi has come home to Smile, Michigan and the feelings are still mutual. Is the time finally right for them?
This was seriously so cute. I genuinely liked both characters and could easily picture in my mind what they were like in high school and in the present as they finally got to find out what it would be like to be each other's person. It was also fun to see the rest of Jilly's family and how the lodge was progressing since the end of Beckett and Presley's book. I can't wait to see what happens next. I recommend this to anyone who likes a sweet, low steam, small-town romance between two people who are already friends. Think Hallmark vibes.
This book releases February 11, 2025.

Thank St. Martin Press and NetGalley for this advanced reader copy. All thought are my own.
This was a great fun light read. I love it when the MMC can cook and man Levi could cook. Loved Levi and Ollie’s chemistry. I respected Jill so much for the love she shows her family and her community. I now need to read about Beckett and Presley.

We’re finally back at Get Lost Lodge in Smile, Michigan for Jillian’s book! I was so excited to see that Jillian (one of my favorite characters in Love, Naturally) was getting her own story and (hopefully) a happy ending!
Jillian Keller is a single mom trying to make it in her small town. Between parenting her daughter, Ollie, helping her brother run his wilderness lodge, and working with her freelance clients as an accountant, she doesn’t have time for most things, much less herself. Levi Bright, a once head chef in Vermont and childhood best friend to the Keller brothers (Jillian’s older brothers), is back in his hometown after a family emergency. Sparks immediately fly between Levi and Jillian as fate (and the entire population of Smile) conspire to thrust the two together.
I always enjoy Sophie Sullivan’s books! Each time I read one, I smile the entire way through. Her books are so wholesome, but the characters she creates feel completely real.
The whole time I was reading, I kept wishing Get Lost Lodge was a real place! I loved the small town of Smile so much and the cameos of all my favorite characters from Love, Naturally. I already cannot wait for Grayson’s book!
If you’re looking a cute rom-com with strong sibling relationships, a kind hearted hero AND heroine, and small-town, hallmark vibes that will make you laugh? Look no further than this book. This one is out in February! Preorder or request from your library ASAP.
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC!

Unfortunately, I DNF this ARC at 25%. I enjoy small town stories and second chances, but the main characters in this novel (who are around age 30) seem immature despite their ages and life experience. The beginning of the novel is all build-up, but not executed particularly well. Between the "I just want to touch her, she smells so good" and "I wish I could touch him," there's not a lot of substance or chemistry. I felt more intrigued by the family relationships and the career decisions than the romantic plot at the center of this novel. I hate not finishing an ARC, but this book was just not for me.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

This second chance romance (ish), brothers best friend, single mom romance was very sweet. Sometimes a little too sweet! The conflicts felt a little reaching and unfinished. And when the characters get together when the book is 30% done, you know the miscommunication trope is coming in hot.

This was a cute story about family, small towns, relationships, and taking a second chance on love. I enjoyed the characters and dynamic between the characters, especially Jilly, Ollie, and Levi. The obstacles that interfere with Jilly and Levi getting their second chance (after the missed opportunity in high school) are realistic and understandable, not feeling contrived. The story has plenty of sweet and humorous moments.
