This romance book was everything I needed right now. I just recently got into Star Trek and honestly it being mentioned in the description of this book had me intrigued.
The book follows Ducky or Serena as we learn about her love for science and her reluctance to fall in love because to her falling in love is a one way trip to giving up who you are. Unfortunately for her this is a romance book and is instantly charmed by the love interest Henry. After a night together Serena learns that Henry is to her her boss at work and gets scared off of telling him how she really feels. So she lies and gets others to lie for her to scare him off of her. After having to work together for a while the two are forced to learn more about each other as a freak accident has them switching bodies. Will they be able to admit their feelings to each other, or more importantly be able to switch back.
This was a sweet book and while initially I was put off by Serena’s inner monologue it got more interesting as the book went a long. I don’t think I’ve ever read a romance book where the main character is a science nerd and they explained the science in a way I can understand. As someone who is also fascinated by space I can really understand why Serena has such a love for it. I found myself heavily relating to Serena as she lamented about falling in love and how it always seemed like couples around her turned into one person once they fell in love. It takes literally walking in someone else’s shoes for her to get a new perspective on this.
I really loved this book and some of the only complaints I have about it are honestly small nitpicks. Like how at first calling Henry (in Serena’s body) a California girl yet Henry retained his British accent. While I can see some seeing Serena’s seeming stubbornness as a flaw I felt like it helped her grow as a character. Without spoiling it, the ending had some massive turns that had me on the edge of my seat. A cute read that plays on the swapped bodies trope in a fun way.

Sarah Ready is one of my favorite authors, and I was excited to read this second book in her Ghosted series. It was even better than I thought it would be!
Serena and Henry's story is not your usual romance. Girl meets boy and after an electrical storm the two switch bodies. They were both such unique and interesting characters that were both relatable even with so many things that set them apart.
Sarah's writing is engaging, witty, and so much fun. I loved how she set the scene, and it felt like I was there as everything unfolded. This story and these characters hooked me from the very first chapter and I didn't want to put the book down. This was a great read, and I already plan on rereading it before the next book comes out!

Another totally bingeworthy and adorable book by Sarah Ready! What a different concept, and a truly witty novel.
I’m a big fan of wit and humor, and this book definitely had that. The character development was great throughout, and I was able to really love and root for both MC’s in this one.
Serena and Henry switch bodies in this book, and I have to admit, that threw me a few times. Mentioning Henry (in Serena’s body) tucking his hair behind his ear or pulling up his dress strap, and the cuddling where it’s a total role reversal threw me a little throughout the book and made it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the story because the images just weren’t lining in my mind as they were written, but overall still a fun concept and very entertaining book.

This is an absolute gem of a rom-com with a quirky twist. Serena and Henry's story, set in the intriguing world of particle physics, takes a wild turn with a body-switching twist that feels like a modern-day "Freaky Friday." The blend of humor, science, and romance is perfectly balanced, making every moment enjoyable. The characters are wonderfully fleshed out, and their self-discovery and love journey is hilarious and touching. The audiobook brings an extra charm, especially with the switched accents, a delightful touch! It's a heartwarming, funny, and intelligent listen that's perfect for anyone who loves a good love story with a unique spin.

Happy publication day!!! 🎉
Sarah Ready has quickly become one of my favorite romcom authors with her fun, flirty and heartwarming stories. Switched is the second book in the Ghosted series, and while it can be read and enjoyed as standalone, Gillian and Daniel from the first book do make cameo appearances. I enjoyed Gillian and Daniel’s story in Ghosted, but really loved Gillian’s quirky best friend Serena, a brainy physicists, so I was tickled pink to learn that Switched was her story.
In a somewhat reimagined Big Bang Theory meets Freaky Friday, Serena and Henry find themselves switched into each other’s body. My heart went out to them as I watched them navigate the complications of their new reality while coming to terms with the possibility that it may be permanent.
I really enjoy listening to Ms. Ready’s stories and Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster do a great job bringing this one to life. I loved the chemistry and banter between Serena and Henry couldn’t root for them enough as they embarked on what turned out to be a journey of self discovery.
The inclusion of graphs, drawings and footnotes peppered throughout the story was a fun way to showcase Serena’s quirky idiosyncrasies, but I will say, the footnotes in the ebook were a bit cumbersome to toggle back and forth reading, but were more fluent in the audio narration, really fun. Similarly, I enjoyed the diagram’s in the ebook, but they were difficult to visualize in the audio narration.
This was such a fun and heartwarming story about self discovery, staying true to oneself and realizing you really can have it all. When I’m sad to leave the characters behind at the last page, I know it was a great story.
I had the privilege to listen to and read advance audio and digital copies of this heartwarming story. Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this opportunity. This is my honest review and the opinions expressed are my own.

This book was so adorable. I loved Ghosted by this author and when I heard a second one in this interconnected series was coming out I had to jump all over it! I really loved this Freaky Friday esk plot line and the depth of the characters, all the while still being so funny and lighthearted. I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t get enough of the characters and their stories. The back and forth / push and pull of their characters and stories really keeps the reader entertained and wanting more. I loved every moment and it’s such a cute romance to get lost into. Highly recommend.

Freaky Friday with a side of STEM? Count me in!
The characters in this were so likeable that the chemistry between them, the flow and how they are in each other’s company really helps to give you that “leg kicking” cute moment. The experience that Serena and Henry have in each other’s bodies are packed with laugh out loud moments.
This is the second book in the Ghosted series and they both have the same elements which make it a really easy and digestible cosy read.
Thank you to NETGALLEY for allowing me to have an advanced readers copy!

Sarah Ready has been one of the most consistent authors I’ve read in the last year. I’ve loved everything that she’s written and I was so excited to start this after reading Ghosted in the fall. I always love getting side characters/friends stories.
I’ll start by saying I was so nervous at the beginning in of this book. The way Serena handled some things made me cringe so hard but I ended up devouring this book. I loved the way Serena and Henry got to know each other and understand each other by first hand experience. The Freaky Friday vibes made it almost a nostalgic read. And I loved that a book about two physicists had so much magic! This just cements the fact that I’ll read anything Sarah writes because even when her characters do something I don’t like, I end up falling in love with them!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

Oh this is a totally different story! You definitely get Freaky Friday feels but of course its not family. Its two people who WE know would work out but because of some past mistakes, we know they are no where near couple status.
Henry and Serena meet in Genova. Its attraction at first sight. But that night is the only night. Because Serena has one true love, one she's had for many years. And there's no room for Henry.
After their first meeting, their relationship isn't like the day they met. Very, very far from it. But after a storm in their work place something magical (or not, maybe science), they've realized they've switched bodies.
Its so funny, heartwarming, with a lot of self reflection and some realizations are found about themselves and each other. I loved the bits with the families and all the times Serena found out something she didn't know about Henry. She came to understand herself so much. And Henry was such a dream. A great guy honestly who was a great guy all through out. Serena grew on me. This is the one who needed a perceptive change.
Its always heartbreaking to miss out on events but to actually be there but not be there is pretty sad too. I really liked this one!

I have read some of Sarah's books and I can say with al honesty that she has a wonderful way to make books and stories so uniquely and sweet but with some lightnes to them.
In this book we follow Serena and Henry, we see their growth, their comprension to one another, the falling in love, their past and their future.
I loved this book and every single character in it.
I fully recommend listening and reading this book for a more pleasant expirence.

I recently read Ghosted and really enjoyed it. I was excited to see another book in the series.
What a cute story. Reminiscent of Freaky Friday.
The characters are quirky to say the least. I loved them.
Hilariously funny at times.
A little too much science in some parts for my taste.
I liked how they could feel each others previous experiences when switched. This made the story for me.
Thanks to netgalley and W.W Crown for the arc.

This book has comedy, sadness, and happiness! I admit the beginning was a little hard for me to get into, it was just a tad slow for my tastes, but I kept reading and I'm so glad I did. The relationship between Henry and Serena is a complicated one, but by the end it was an amazing one! I believe the universe switched them because Serena was scared to love and Henry wasn't, he showed her you can love someone unconditional without changing who you are.

Oh my goodness book! I loved it and may have hugged my kindle after finishing it last night. Ps. I need a physical copy asap.
Ready is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She excels in writing physical comedy, with so many scenes that had me laughing whole heartedly. She also writes truly heartbreaking scenes that had me reaching for a Kleenex. I loved the Freaky Friday aspect of the story and Serena’s character and growth through out it all was a highlight for me. I also LOVED Henry & that we got to see characters from book one Ghosted (which I loved)! again. This can be read as a standalone —- however reading Ghosted beforehand just adds to the experience. I alternated between the audiobook and e-book and enjoyed both formats. The narrators are amazing!! If you’re a fan of Sophie Kinsella or Katherine Center, I highly recommend adding this book series to your TBR. Ps. Book three is out later this year!!! Woot! Woot!
Thank you NetGalley and W. W. Crown and imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing for providing me with an advanced audio copy and e-copy. Thank you to Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster for the amazing narration.

I have mixed feelings on this one.
The physics part was fun , if not a but rambly.
I loved the take on love, marriage but on the other hand could not relate to the Serena & The faceless english guy.
The love here was super insta , but i could roll it with for the story.
So yea. mixed feelings.

4.5 stars
Serena and Henry are scientists, more adept at following their heads than their hearts. But one night changes everything, and they fall in love. The problem? While Henry is ready to dive in head first, Serena fears losing herself and her career. She'd prefer a clean break, but that's impossible to do when you discover that you'll be working together! And where they work becomes critical here, because one night, some machinery goes haywire, and Henry and Serena switch bodies! They embark on a journey to reverse the damage before it's too late, but wind up understanding one another better than they could ever imagine. Will Sarina allow herself to love? Will they switch back? You'll have to read to find out!
I had a great time with this book. I love how the author, Sarah Ready, seamlessly intertwines science and love. Who would ever have thought that you could make physics so poetic? I was so impressed not only by the depth of the story, but by the humor. The graphs and footnotes had me laughing out loud. The quiet moments in which they let their walls down were tremendous. Occasionally I struggled to understand Serena, but as the story went on, the author provided clarity.
I loved this audiobook. I enjoyed the female narrator especially. She was the perfect Serena!
Trigger warnings: heart attack suffered by a parent, visiting a relative in the hospital
I'd like to thank W. W. Crown, and imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing, LLC, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Audiobooks, and Netgalley for the eARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

The squeals that I squealed while listening to this book. Omg I am living for the whole freaky Friday vibe that was going on and I absolutely adored Henry and Serena. I resonated a bit… like a lot … with Serena and I was so glad to see the growth she went through while on this “adventure” with Henry. It was wild from start to finish and I loved their moments. Seeing both of them grow and learn from each other made my heart so happy 🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.
I was able to read Ghosted last year as an ARC and enjoyed Ready's unique take on a familiar romance trope, mashing it with science that breaks your brain. It was a little overcomplicated as a story but at least it wasn't the whole 'they were really in a coma' obvious twist. Switched is both similar and a little different. The freaky Friday body switch between the mains is a mash of science and magic. It isn't quite explained; I didn't really need it to be. The uniqueness comes from having the characters be opposite genders and navigating the weird/hilarious/awkward differences of finding yourself in a VERY different body. It has two people who know each other very well but are also complete strangers and it really dives into the idea of being alone and sidelined in situations where you can't be yourself because you aren't yourself.
Anyways, there were moments of this book I loved, made me grin and laugh. Then there were moments that felt too convenient and too cheesy, descriptions that became a little too saccharine and spacey. I was often frustrated by Serena and felt plenty of this conflict could have been wrapped up with a more honest conversation, one that these characters felt capable of having.
Overall, sweet and dorky, this book and this author deserve more attention and I look forward to reading the next book in this cute sciency romance series.
Side note: The most unbelievable part of this book is that this guy was a virgin when they met.

If you like your romance book with a dash of science (like ali hzaelwood style) this book is perfect for you. This book truly is for all the nerds out there.
Our main characters swap bodies on a stormy night and they have to navigate how to live their lives. It also has an element of enemies to lovers *winky face*
This was a delightful read and I am definitely reading Sarah’s previous release. I would say this book is perfect for the fans of ali hazelwood and Christina Lauren.
Thank you to NetGalley and W.W crown and imprint of swift and Lewis publishing for graciously providing me an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

An unfortunate DNF 😭.
I have to be honest I'm really sad I'm DNFing this one. I have LOVED Sarah's books. However.....I'm not sure why authors keep doing the "break the fourth wall" thing. It makes for such a TOUGH read. It's almost like the story and the character talking to you are two separate stories and I just could not get through this. The random photos and graphs, the breaking up the story....I just could dive in because Ducky wanted to be quirky every five seconds.
However, im sure the actually story was good and the writing flowed really well, but i could not get pass all the random graphs and Ducky trying to be different and quirky.
All the random thought inserts (much like this would be in parentheses and break up an entire thought or paragraph) were super distracting.
Which is super strange, cause none of her other books read like this. :(
Overall, I think one day I will try to read this and hopefully change my thoughts because I love Sarah's books, but literally at 30% Ducky was killing me 😭.
I hope to read more Sarah Ready in the future, but this was such a stark difference from the first book of this standalone series, and an even bigger difference from how her works usually read.

Thank you to NetGalley and WW Crown for providing the ARC.
Sarah Ready never misses, and that is doubly true in this crazy Freaky Friday-esque follow up to Ghosted.
Serena doesn't want to fall in love. Falling in love means losing yourself, your identity, and being subsumed by someone else. So when she experiences love at first sight, she cuts and runs, knowing exactly what will happen if she sticks around, and she loves herself and her career more than that.
When she ends up switching places with the man of her dreams, she comes to find out that there are certain things she can no longer avoid, including her dormant but never gone feelings she has for him. She learns more about herself in someone else's body than she ever truly realized as herself.
I loved Serena's character. She was raw and genuine in a way that I feel is missed from most female main characters. The lengths she went through for Henry to make sure that he had everything he needed was just a testament to what the reader already knows - she loves him and does so deeply.
Henry was just as endearing. He wore heart eyes the entire story, and all he wanted to do was understand Serena more, since she had brutally shut him down. He worked to make things so much more comfortable for Serena that it's hard not falling in love with him yourself.
This book was dreamy and special. I think everyone who enjoys a bit of paranormal activity will enjoy this book throughly.
