This book!! This was the most dreamy spin on a second-chance romance. Jilly and Levi were a case of right person/wrong time, but they finally found each other again, and I ate. it. up. Sophie avoided SO MANY of the stereotypical complications of typical romance books with such ease but still gave the characters personality and depth. The conflicts were mild and the resolutions were tame, but I thoroughly enjoyed this romance!!

This was a sweet second chance romance set amidst siblings working to get the new family business up and running. Jillian and Levi were a sweet couple and their relationship felt fairly grounded in reality and I appreciated how she reacted when her daughter was involved.

This is the second book in a series but can be enjoyed without having read the first. The secondary characters are fun additions and have their own special moments.

The plot isn’t deep or profound but this was a charming, quick, cozy read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

Sophie Sullivan’s My Best Friend’s Honeymoon (erroneous title here—likely placeholder? Please confirm title) is a heartwarming second-chance romance brimming with charm, small-town coziness, and just the right amount of romantic tension. Jillian Keller and Levi Bright’s story is a sweet journey of rediscovery, healing, and finding love where you least expect it—right in the heart of home.

Jillian is a relatable and endearing heroine—a fiercely independent single mom with a love for structure and stability. Her life in Smile, running Get Lost Lodge with her brother, feels content but perhaps a bit safe. Enter Levi Bright, a talented chef whose return to their hometown brings a fresh sense of possibility. Levi’s quest for something more meaningful than city life resonates deeply, and his gentle persistence and warmth make him the perfect counterpart to Jillian’s cautious heart.

Sullivan beautifully explores the tension of past feelings reigniting as Jillian and Levi navigate old friendships, familial ties, and unspoken dreams. The small-town setting of Smile is as much a character as the leads, offering a vivid backdrop of community, comfort, and second chances.

What makes this romance shine is its tender balance of sweetness and subtle heat. Sullivan delivers on the emotional stakes, making readers root for Jillian and Levi as they learn to let go of old fears and embrace a future they never thought possible.

Fans of small-town romance and the “brother’s best friend” trope will adore this heartfelt, cozy read. My Best Friend’s Honeymoon is a love letter to second chances and the beautiful, sometimes unexpected ways we find our way home—both to the places and people who matter most.

3.5 rounded up

I am so thankful to have received this eARC! I went back to the first in the series as I hadn’t read that yet and then read this shortly after. It was fun to revisit the original MC’s and see this second chance romance blossom in a sweet way. Levi pretty much is back in love with Jilly from the get go and she just needs a little convincing that she doesn’t have to only rely on herself after her divorce so there is little conflict or angst. But they a clearly a great match and this is a good story for those who like small town romances, it’s also heavy on family time as Jilly has a daughter and there were some cute kid scenes.

In Get Lost With You, Sophie Sullivan tells the story of a single mom trying to raise her daughter and make peace with the past. When Jilly's childhood crush, Levi, moves back to town, everything changes. The story itself had a lot of potential. I am a sucker for second chance romances and childhood crushes that come full circle. However, a lot of the story fell flat for me. The dialogue felt sloppy at times, corny at others. I found myself rolling my eyes several times where the writing felt almost childish. I wanted to like the book so much more than I actually did.

If you’re looking for a feel good, second chance romance, Sophie Sullivan is the perfect author to deliver that feel every time. I can say with complete confidence that I every time I read one of her books I’m always left wishing I could go back and read it again for the first time.

Get Lost With You is the second book in the Rock Bottom Love series but it acts as a stand alone if you haven’t, or aren’t interested, in reading the first. You’ll miss out on a few crossovers but it’s nothing too bad and nothing that isn’t easily explained during the story. The relationship between the characters feels natural and more realistic then some books I’ve read which was something that really made me fall in love with the story more.

This book stars Jill, single mom who also helps her brother run a lodge, and Levi, a professional chef looking for a change of pace in his life. Aside from the adorable childhood to lovers trope the two find themselves in, it’s also a closed door romance. Some people might find that as a dealbreaker but I don’t mind. In fact if you’re able to write a romance without heavily relying on smut then I think that really says something about your writing ability and storytelling, but who doesn’t like a little bit anyway?

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something easy going that won’t leave you with any regrets.

This was such a fun and wonderful feel good second chance romance. With a single mom and the one who got away I enjoyed that Levi was all in from the very beginning. While the lack angst and tension in it, it did give me so much I did appreciate the small moments between these two and her daughter. These two have a wonderful dynamic and while I haven’t read this author previously I do see myself picking up another book by her shortly after finishing this one. It was well written, engaging and perfect for someone who wants a low stakes feel good romance. I think all over the characters were likeable I was just wanting more from the plot and more of a build up between the two characters.

I love all of Sophie Sullivan’s books, and this one did not disappoint. Second in the Rock Bottom Love series, it was so fun to return to Smile and reconnect with the Keller family and all their friends. Levi is returning home to Smile, and Jilly is raising her daughter and helping run the family lodge. Theirs is a second chance love, endearing and sweet. Fun times abound, but they both have some serious, grown-up issues to overcome. With small town vibes, single parent, brother’s best friend, and cracked door love scenes, Sophie’s latest contemporary romance is a warm hug that’s wraps you up and pulls you in. All the stars!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC to read and review. All opinions are my own.

This book was very cute. I enjoyed the romance and I am always a sucker for second chance relationships. Quick easy read, not a super big plot… But sometimes it’s nice to have an easy book to just enjoy.

Jilly is a single mother who has been living back in her home town and raising her child while doing a variety of odd jobs. Levi is moving back home, originally to take care of his father and later to be home. They end up rekindling sparks.

It was very sweet and honestly the people who have been saying it feels like a warm hug are right. That's exactly what it feels like. It just feels soft and nice. I did find myself siding with Jilly so often and wishing more people did, although honestly when people didn't if wasn't really the end of the world. I could see where they were coming from too.

I do want to say while this is marked as a second chance romance, that doesn't feel correct. Instead its a friends to lovers where they liked each other as teens and maybe attempted to kiss. But nothing progressed.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!

Get Lost with You was a great second chance romance and a fantastic return to the Get Lost Lodge and the charming small town of Smile. I was very glad that I actually took the time to read the first novel in this series before diving into book 2 - all of the adorable and quirky charm of the small town and all of its residents came through even more in book two! This novel centers on single mom Jilly and her high-school crush Levi who is returning to Smile after many years away. Considering their final interaction in high school was a failed kiss attempt resulting in multiple stitches for Levi - it wasn't surprising that there was a lot of humor in this book and especially in these characters interacting. Both characters go through a lot of growth in the novel - dealing with their own issues with relationships, family, career, future uncertainties, etc. And Ollie may be one of the best child characters - she is the perfect amount of sassy and adorable! Get Lost with You was the perfect cozy romance for the winter months - an excellent read! Thank you to St. Martin's Press/St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this novel in advance.

My Thoughts

The town named Smile does just that when one lives there, it makes you smile.

For Jillian Kelly finding reasons to smile begins and end with her nine-year-old daughter Ollie who is the light of her life.

Having come out mentally scarred by her marriage to her daughter’s father Jilly has not formed a relationship beyond friendship with a man since their divorce.

Levi Bright left Smile to fulfill his dream of achieving culinary success, which he did.

Now back home Levi plans to re-invent his life and Jillian herself is at the heart of what he wants that life to include.

Now he has to win Jilly over to wanting that life too.

I have always been a sucker for a second chance romance and Jillian getting hers with high school crush Levi was the perfect blend of what one plans compared to what we actually get in life.

The beginning of this book was very slow. I had a hard time getting into it because for the first half of the book almost nothing happened. Jilly and Levi reconnect, realize they still have feelings for each other, and then they’re basically in love with zero conflict or tension. And that’s really all that happens in the first half. Not every romance needs to be slow burn and I honestly don’t mind instalove, I just wish there had been a little more buildup to the relationship, something to make me invested in it.
The second half of the book picks up a lot. You get a lot more tension with Levi’s relationship with his dad, Jilly’s ex husband trying to reconnect, and running the lodge. I liked how these played out, even if some of the problems were solved almost too easily.
The best part of this book was definitely Levi. He was so sweet and his relationship with Jilly’s daughter was adorable. I loved how supportive he was and how he just wanted to make Jilly happy.
If you’re looking for something light and fun to read with a second chance romance, brothers best friend, or a single mom, give this book a try!

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Griffin for the arc!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book was wrong book, wrong time for me. I wasn't able to enjoy it or connect with characters.

This heartwarming book is cozy and relatable. Jillian's story of rebuilding her life with her daughter while managing Get Lost Lodge and Levi's journey to find purpose beyond the big city is the perfect balance of depth and charm.

The chemistry between Jilly and Levis is electric, making their slow-burn romance feel very natural. Their shared moments working together are filled with humor, sweetness, and just the right amount of tension. The small town backdrop also made it feel extremely homey.

What sets this book apart is its emotional depth. Jilly's cautious heart and Levi's determination to reconnect with his roots make their growth inspiring and realistic. I loved the themes of family, forgiveness, and second chances.

This story will have you believing in these heartfelt characters and rooting for love! Jilly's daughter Ollie stole the show with her sweetness.

Love the high school crush second chances romances! Thank you for this fun romance that layered family ties and friendship in! Loved it!!

Love everything about this book! Second chance, brother’s best friend, set in an incredibly atmospheric lodge. Literally the coziest, most comforting romance. Great book to read while curled up under a blanket, dreaming of summer.

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

There are two big things that romance readers tend to look for when reading a new romance: spice and a compelling love story. Ideally a book will have both, but you can have one or the other and still have an enjoyable romance book. Unfortunately this book had neither.

The fade to black love scenes felt anticlimactic after reading several chapters of make out sessions that gave the impression of future spicy scenes but never delivered, and the love story between the two main characters had very little conflict. They both liked each other from the start and were all-in on the relationship with almost no strife or obstacles in their way that weren’t resolved as quickly as they started.

This book is not bad and could serve as a fun read for someone looking for something light and not too spicy, but for the most part I wouldn’t recommend this one to the average romance reader.

**2.5 STARS**

I thought this book cover was cute and I think the romance matches the cover. It’s cute.

Jilly is a single mother, and has returned home to the small town of Smile, to raise her daughter and be around family. She’s always had a crush on LeVi Bright and he’s back in Smile too. Right from the moment they run into each other – the sparks fly, immediately. All the feelings they’ve had for one another from the past start to just overtake both of them.

The story is very predictable. Jilly and Levi have some challenges to deal with like Jilly and past with her ex-husband which makes her hesitant to date again. And Levi has a strained relationship with his father but all of those issues resolves itself in the end.

I found this story okay – didn’t love the 3rd person POV, but it’s a light, easy and fluffy read.

Final Thoughts:

For me personally, this one fell a little flat. I didn’t really connect to the characters. I thought the romance was cute, without much conflict. If you want an easy, closed door, small town romance story to read, definitely give this one a chance.

I am enjoying Sophie Sullivan's work lately! Get Lost with You is for romance readers that love second chance romance. I loved getting another look inside the Get Lost Lodge world. Characters and plot are fleshed out wonderfully, there is growth in all of the characters and was a lovely heartwarming read.
