This is the second book in the series. I enjoyed the first book and I enjoyed this book too. I feel each book can be read as a standalone read.
A beautiful story about starting over….finding happiness again.

Get Lost With You is the follow up novel to Love Naturally, will we return to everyone’s fav Family owned lodge for a cozy second chance romance.

Jillian Keller took the long route to her best life, but is now happily settled in her hometown of Smile, raising her little girl alone while helping her brother run Get Lost Lodge. A lover of structure and routine, she doesn’t need anyone disrupting her carefully curated life.
After chasing and achieving his culinary dreams, Levi Bright realizes he’s still missing something he can’t find in a big city. Returning home to Smile, he intends to build a different future for himself, including reconnecting with family and friends, and creating elevated comfort food for a town he loves.
When Levi and Jilly run into each other, past feelings that never had a chance to bloom flare between them… but she’s been hurt before, and falling for her older brother’s best friend seems like a recipe for drama. But sometimes, a second chance at love leads you right where you’re meant to be.

While nothing overly unique or memorable; this book has all the warm and fuzzy feelings that sometimes is all you need! This made me happy and content while reading and I couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend

I was really looking forward to Get Lost with You, the second installment in the Rock Bottom Love series. I gave the first book four stars but I think it was more of 4.5 stars. Book two is definitely a solid 3.5 this time. The romance didn't flow the way I had hoped, one second they were pining for each other and the next they were together. I remember realizing I was 40ish percent in and they were already together. It made me wonder where this would go if they got together so quickly. I really love the small town vibes and the lodge is an incredible setting. Levi and Jilly were wonderful characters, I just didn't connect with their journey the way I did Presley and Beckett (LOVED getting to see them throughout the book). Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the arc copy of this book. Even though it wasn't my favorite of the series I'm still honored to have gotten an advance copy. I'll be hoping for a third book!

I just… ugh. I wanted to like this because I’ve liked other books by this author. However, this book is exactly what teachers mean when they say “show don’t tell.” This is a book that doesn’t show anything - it just tells. It’s way too fast of a romance and I just don’t feel the chemistry. The “tension” is just so bleh and I was just cringing so much during this entire novel. It’s both forgettable in the storyline and storytelling, but too rememberable as being poorly written. I really dislike when children are used to move the plot forward and somehow are wiser than their parents… this book had that too. It just wasn’t worth the read for me. 2⭐️, 2🌶

As the second in the series set in a small town in Michigan (aka my hometown) this book was so reminiscent of a summer camp love story that it felt almost cheesy at times. When first crushes reunite decades later, sparks are flying again but of course in the more complex reality of adult life. This book, while in the midst of a gorgeous setting and fantastic plot of secondary and supporting characters, felt a bit too easy and predictable - which does make it a perfect beach read!

Thanks to the publishing team & Sophie Sullivan for the ARC - looking forward to what’s next in the series!

Tropes:
✨Brother’s best friend
✨High school crush
✨Friends to lovers
✨Third act breakup
✨Small town romance
✨Closed door spice


Jillian moved back in with her parents and her daughter after her marriage blew up. Four years later, shes’ still recovering pieces of her heart when Levi comes home, too. Now, Jillian has always been Gray and Beck’s younger sister, but why is seeing her for the first time in 10 years throwing Levi for a loop?

Teenage Jillian and teenage Levi both had crushes on one another, but the age difference (two years then is like a second now, right?) and Jill’s older brothers kept them from ever acting on that crush — although Jill certainly tried, much to her embarrassment. Since reconnecting, they’ve both found the missing piece but will they be able to overcome the uncertainty of dating the best friend’s little sister and Jill’s narcissistic ex husband?

This ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I wished I loved this more than I did. I’m so sorry. I didn’t really get attached to these characters or feel invested in their love story like I wanted to. But I did love the family vibes and learning to care about the right things. The town name really threw me off sometimes. Also the way the story is told in like third person pov really threw me off. The ending and see their romance came to fruition and Levi’s relationship with her daughter made me happy. I just am meh about this book but I think others would absolutely love it!

3/5⭐️

I might be biased because I love Sophie Sullivan and her books. She has done it again. We are back in Smile and Get Lost Lodge, this time with Jillian's story.

We meet Levi Bright who is friends with Jilly's brothers. He is back in town to stay. Levi had a thing for Jilly back in the day and vice versa but they never dated. Levi is set on changing that. There is a little slow burn but they really like each other. Levi is one of the sweetest book boyfriends. He is patient and understanding when it comes to Jilly. Jilly has a lot of things to work through and sometimes frustrated me but she had a lot of growth.

The side characters are always so much fun. We get to see Beckett and Presley from the last Get Lost book and all the other Smile townspeople. Jillian's daughter, Ollie, is as adorable as ever!

I would recommend this book if you like a second-chance romance with a tiny little bit of spice but fade to black.

Thank you to St Martin's Press, NetGalley, and Sophie Sullivan for the e-ARC of this book. This review is my own opinion.

It was great to be back in this world. I liked the previous book better. I did not feel like much happened in this one. The ex was not much of a barrier. The romance was good. Needed more sex

Listen, maybe I’m the drama, because I need more antagonism between my main characters in a romance or I get bored. And man was I bored with this. It just didn’t feel like there was any passion between these two. They didn’t seem to feel a rush when interacting, there’s no banter, playful teasing, even fun one liners. It’s just basic dialogue and an occasional compliment. I felt nothing. Such a shame because I love a good small town romance and second chance, but this was doing nothing for me so I didn’t ever want to pick it up.

The writing didn’t feel smooth to me. It was back and forth too much in the prose in a disjointed way. I just had a hard time getting into it. But the story itself was good

We are back at the Get Lost Lodge with the Keller siblings. This time with sister Jilly. She reconnects with her high school crush, Levi, when he returns to their small Michigan town.

This was a cute story that focused on communication and Jilly getting past her fears to try something new.
Well written, this captures the relationship between the siblings and makes the reader wish for a family like the Kellers!

I truly enjoyed getting to know everyone and found myself rooting for Jilly and Levi to figure things out.
If you have read the first book in the series, you will be glad to see more of Beckett and Presley. I am curious to see what happens to Grayson!

Rating ⭐️⭐️
Narration: 🎧🎧
Overall: 2/5
Steam: 🔥🔥 ☄️ (0-5) One open-ish door scene & one closed door scene.

What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 I loved the idea of this one being small town Smile, Michigan & being like Mackinac Island.
🤩 The secret pining.

What I’m Wishing
💫 I just didn’t get the feels I like to feel when reading romance books. I was bored & the audiobook (3rd person, dual pov, one narrator) didn’t seem to help. Darn. I’ve heard that there will be another narration—a male narrator. They should have just done a dual narration. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is an entertaining, well-written, second-chance, contemporary romance novel. I just happened to read it at a time when I was wanting more.

We get to return to smile and get Jillian's story!! This is book 2 the first was Love, Naturally but this can be standalone.

Both Jillian and Levi left Smile for a spell. Jillian returned 5 years ago and divorced with daughter Ollie. They are helping open Gray's camp and enjoying life when Levi (her childhood crush) returns to town.

Neither have found true and real love but always went back to the emotions they shared for each other in high school. When they are back and spending time together both are apprehensive to let in love. Jillian has built a life for her and her daughter and doesn't want love to ruin it. Levi is willing to wait and show her how much he cares.

Levi back in Smile to be with his aging parents continues his dream of being a chef. Now figuring out how Jillian fits into that.

This sweet second chance, brothers best friend and single mom romance had me from the beginning. If you enjoy any of these tropes...then pick up this book.

Sophie Sullivan has become a favorite author of mine and I'm currently making it through her backlog 💛🤍

Jilly and Levi had crushes on each other in high school, but he was 2 years older and beat friends with her brothers.
Now he's back in town, and she's a single mom working at her brother Grayson's lodge. Those crushes come back full force. The book is them navigating their feelings and also their work choices.
Nice to see Beckett and Presley again, along with Ollie - the 9 year old was one of my favorite parts of the book. Jilly and Levi are obviously meant to be together, and I loved that they helped each other reach their career goals as well

This was my first Sophie Sullivan book, and I loved the journey! The main characters had great energy, and I loved how every supporting character also had very distinct personalities. Parts of the book felt slow to me, but that may be because it was a little more character driven than I prefer.

Thank you to SMP and NetGalley for the early copy!

Engaging, heartfelt, and fun!⁣

𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮 is an alluring, tender romance that transports you to the idyllic town of Smile and into the lives of the reliable, handsome Levi and the hardworking, single mother Jilly as they discover that even though they’ve known each other platonically for years, there may be a little something more underneath that’s worth taking a chance on.⁣

The writing is light and playful. The characters are supportive, kind, and genuine. And the plot is an entertaining, amusing mix of friendship, family, community, responsibilities, parenthood, snappy banter, undeniable chemistry, tricky moments, small-town drama, and unconditional love.⁣

Overall, 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮 is another sweet, uplifting, satisfying addition to the 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘉𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘮 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 series by Sullivan that touches on the importance of healing, friendship, self-discovery, and finding happiness.

I was provided both the ALC and ARC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own. Than you to St. Martins Press/St. Martin's Griffin and RB Media/Recorded Books for providing me with advanced copies of the book in both formats. I have really come to enjoy reading along with the audiobook when I get the opportunity. The narrator did a great job keeping me engaged

This was a super sweet second chance, small town romance. Jillian Keller, aka Jilly has been in love with Levi since high school. He left their small town of Smile to chase his dreams of becoming a chef and working in a big time fancy restaurant and while he had feelings for her, he didn't want to lead her on. He was also friends with her older brothers and didn't want to break the "bro code". Fast forward into the future, Jilly is a divorced single mom and helping to run a small lodge with her brothers. She is cautious about everything in her life but overly so when it comes to love after her failed marriage. She has alot on her plate with the lodge's summer opening looming and some new offerings on the way to bring in new clients. She doesn't have time for a new relationship when Levi reenters her life, but everything happens for a reason.

Levi has returned home to help out with the family construction business when his dad needs routine surgery. There is a rift between father and son that needs mending due to Levi leaving town to pursue his dreams and not taking over the family business. Naturally feelings were hurt, but Levi wants nothing more than to mend this fence and reestablish himself in his home town. He achieved his goal to become a successful chef, and now more than ever he knows that the small town life is what he wants. He also wants to explore that spark he has always felt for Jilly, so when an opportunity to cook at the lodge and spend more time with her opens up he jumps at the chance to show her how great they can be together and that he isn't going anywhere.

I really loved this. Levi and Jilly were really cute together, they kept their relationship playful while dealing with real life situations. They passed notes to one another like teenagers to keep things fun, while building up the trust needed for something concrete. It is very low spice, there are some intimate scenes, but they are fade to black and not very descriptive. I appreciated that Jilly got to explore her feelings of inadequacy in a relationship and fears about a new relationship as a single mom on her own terms. She had real conversations with Levi and the conversation she had with her mom were really great to help her overcome her objections and find love again.

This is the 2nd book in the Rock Bottom series, but it does read as a complete standalone. I have not read the 1st book in the series which centers around Jilly's brother Beckett and girlfriend Presley. They are side characters in this book, and I'll be picking Love, Naturally soon as I want to know everything about their love story! This is also my first book by the author, but it will not be my last!
