This was such a unique and fun concept! I loved the STEM setting so much and it was a whole different take on forced proximity. I loved their story! This book was hilarious and so fun.

Thank you to Netgalley for the arc!

Modern day Freaky-Friday vibes??? Sign me UP. Freaky Friday was one of those movies that I binged again and again as a kid, because I loved thinking about how weird and funny it would be to switch bodies with someone - especially if it was someone you didn't like. Messing with their lives as THEM in order to get revenge? Say less. I'm in.

That's basically the plot of Switched. After a truly romantic night together followed by a massive storm, our characters Serena and Henry find themselves trapped in the others body. Chaos ensues as you can imagine, and I had so much fun reading about their misadventures as they try to get back into their own bodies.

Sweet, quirky and fun, this will be a romance that will be nostalgic and brand new all in one!

Switch is set to be published on February 20, 2024. Thank you to W.W. Crown an Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC, NetGalley and the author for the digital advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I recently had the pleasure of diving into Switched, the second installment of the Ghosted series by the talented Sarah Ready. This contemporary romance novel is a delightful blend of humor, heart, and intrigue. With its 338 pages, Switched kept me captivated and entertained throughout.

Serena Otaki, a quirky American physicist, and Henry Joules, a charming British man, find themselves entangled in a whirlwind romance that is both exhilarating and endearing. Sarah Ready's writing style is engaging and fast-paced, making it easy to become invested in the characters' lives and their journey towards love.

Switched is not a perfect 5-star read for me, but it is a solid 4-star novel that I would highly recommend to fans of romantic comedy. The story is full of love and laughter, and it tackles some serious themes, such as infertility, with sensitivity and grace. The characters are quirky, smart, and relatable, and their chemistry is undeniable.

Overall, Switched is a heartwarming and entertaining novel that I would definitely recommend to fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. Sarah Ready's writing is full of love, laughter, and emotion, and I am eager to explore more of her work in the future. If you're looking for a fun and engaging read, Switched is a great choice!

Serena Otaki loves physics, Star Trek and her cat, Captain Purrk. She works at the The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. She enjoys her simple life and staying permanently, happily unattached. Loving a man isn't in her future, she only loves Physics.
Henry Joules loves physics, family and friends. He can't wait to find the woman of his dreams. Love and marriage are in his future.
They are completely opposite to each other.
Once when Serena and Henry are together, the particles collide and their bodies are switched. Trapped in each other's bodies, having to live as the other is going to be a wild ride.

First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Ready’s first book in the Ghosted series and it was so fun to see Jillian and Daniel make a cameo in this book!

Second, this book gives Freaky Friday vibes (but with romance). The author did a great job describing some of the difficulties of switching genders (e.g., getting your period and using tampons versus pads), as well as family challenges (e.g., giving the best man speech at your brother's wedding or consoling your ill mother).

I was fortunate enough to be granted both the ebook Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and the audiobook ARC. The audiobook was fantastic – really enjoyed Kelsey Navarro Foster (voice for Serena) and James Anderson Foster (voice for Henry). How cool that this was narrated by a husband and wife duo?!

Thank you so much to Sarah Ready, W.W. Crown an Imprint of Switft & Lewis Publishing LLC, and Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) for the opportunity to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion.

Another beautifully written novel by Sarah Ready. I am unbelievably excited to be reading this book because I loved the first one so SO much. If you haven't read book 1, go read it. Not because you need to read it to understand the plot of this book but because it's so f*cking GOOD. This book has two STEM mc's, Ali Hazelwood fans will definitely like this book. Serena (from California) and Henry (from England) are physicists working at the CERN science Gateway in Geneva and they could not be more different from each other. So, of course, they end up switching bodies during an electrical storm.

This book is as beautifully descriptive as the first, taking place in Geneva, England and Northern Cali. This author just has a way with words. You feel like you're visiting these places. You feel like you're in the brains of the MCs. It's beautifully poetic and feminist, focusing on a woman's choice between romantic love and her love of science. Can she have both? Serena and Henry learn about each other by being each other. They learn about the people that they love, the foods that they love, the things that make them truly happy, and even catch glimpses of each other's memories.

This was a great book and a fantastic follow up to book one! I can't wait to see what Sarah Ready types up next because I can guarantee you that it will be on my TBR.

I read the first book in this series as well and was not sure what to expect with the second book. It was a quick entertaining read. The ending was a little too perfect for my liking. It was a different take on the enemies to lovers genre but I enjoyed it.

Serena was really set in her ways, not only in life, but also in love. She didn't want to give up her "self" in order to be a couple. There wasn't an outstanding example of coming together to be better vs losing yourself in another for her. This was definitely a different way of learning about love, but I loved it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC. This is my honest opinion.

Love at first sight it’s what Henry felt when he saw Serena for the first time. After a night of passion and full connection Serena left him. They’ve been working together for almost two years without acknowledging that special night. But when magic happens and they are forced to spend time together, their connection can help them find themselves or break them forever. A delightful magic story about trust, family, and love. Sarah Ready at her best

If you read Ghosted then you probably remember the scientist, best friend who lives in Geneva, well in this book we get her story.

Serena lives for science, her career is her number one priority while love has not even a spot on her list. After a one night with a stranger makes her feel more than she wanted or expected she does what she does best and runs away from her feelings. But she can't run from him since it turns out that Henry is her new boss.

There is a time jump and then we see how they continue to work together until one fateful night while they are working they switch bodies, now Serena lives in Henry's body and they have to work together to fix their predicament before it's too late.

The forced proximity was so good, they literally got to live in each other shoes which made them truly understand each other in a very unique and special fashion.

I didn't love Serena at first, especially after she shut down on Henry and with the way she treated him after their night together. Seeing where she came from and how she was thinking helped to understand her better for sure.

Henry was a sweetheart, I wish he had his own chapters in the book in order to see his pov and what he was thinking in certain occasions.

I got to read and listen to the book and I enjoyed both formats equally. The narrators did a great job with the accents and narration while the ebook had some fun graphics along the way.

* I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

I spent the first 90% of this book thinking "this is such a fun reading experience and FOR ONCE Sarah Ready isn't ripping my heart out so she can put it back together. It's just a fun time" and I thought too soon, because rip my heart to shreds she did.

I loved every second of the journey Henry and Ducky went on. It was fun and light hearted (until it wasn't) and I just love how it all unfolded. No notes!

PRO: This book was absolutely hilarious. I was reading in public and tried in vain to contain my laughter. Loved the nerdiness and her charts and tables.

CON: I know instalove is kind of what sets up the whole plot, but it was still a tiny bit over the top. He says he loves her the first day they meet 😅

Serena is a physicist avoiding love in all measures for fear of giving up her career. One night, in a local pub, she meets Henry. After talking and a one night stand, Serena runs from her feelings and ends any and all communication with a potential love interest. She wants absolutely nothing to do with love and marriage. Henry, a super serious Brit, loves to research and drink hot tea. He wants everything Serena does not. He is pursuing finding the love of his life and marriage. Until one night, 2 years later a big storm hits and worlds collide. Serena and Henry switch bodies. Serena is now Henry and Henry is now Serena. Will Serena and Henry change their minds? Will they find true love?


I really LOVED this book!! Sarah Ready made me laugh out loud several times. Such a perfect Rom-Com. A well rounded story without any plot holes or any parts of the story left unfinished. I would definitely recommend this book! Thanks to NetGalley, W. W. Crown, and imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing, LLC, for this ARC!

I never thought I would enjoy reading a freaky friday rom-com but it turns out it was such a fun time. The premise of this sci-fi romance (is that a genre?) was super interesting and kept me invested throughout this story. I loved the tone of the writing and the main character's personality. Much like the first book in this series this author really knows how to make her characters funny and their inner dialogue fun and engaging. I felt that I understood the main character really well and wanted to be her friend and for her to be happy. This was a great romance book to read this month as its sweet, funny and a little bit different than others in this genre. I will continue to read more book in this series and check out some others from this author as I have enjoyed both in this series so I am sure I will enjoy her others as well.

Thanks to Netgalley and W.W. Crown for granting me access to this early copy in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVED this book!! This was my first Sarah Ready novel, and I can't wait to read more by her! This is the second book in a series, but it completely works as a standalone novel.

I absolutely loved the main characters and their relationship with each other and with their family/friends. The main characters have switched bodies and genders, and they have a tough time figuring out how to live in each other's bodies, which makes for some funny moments!

Thank you to NetGalley and W.W. Crown for my digital ARC!!

As a girl who studied physics and loves contemporary romance, I knew I was going to enjoy this book once I read the description. What I did not expect was to laugh out loud or tear up as much as I did.

I loved the diagrams, footnotes, Star Trek and physics references, as well as the fourth wall breaking. You really get to know the main character’s personality through it all. They were unique and added a lot of humour to the story. I also fell in love with Henry Joule immediately, and even more so throughout the story. I just wanted to hug him the entire time, he is so sweet!

This book is pretty cheesy at some points and some people may not be able to get past the body switch plot but I thought it was a super cute fun read. I also very much appreciate the underlying message about being in love with someone while still being your own person and pursuing your goals.

If you like cheesy rom-coms with a splash and nerdiness I would definitely recommend Switched!

I enjoyed this unique, funny, nerdy, opposites attract romance about two physicist colleagues who switch bodies. I enjoyed the different POV's. The book was a little bit of a slow start for me, but it really picked up and I devoured it.
It was funny & sweet, and a great escape from daily life.
I hadn't even read the synopsis before I started the book, as I had previously read 'Ghosted' and 2 other Sarah Ready books that I thought were wonderful! This was an immediate yes for me.

The book itself was interesting - with a quirky and intelligent Serena and a serious but extremely sweet and thoughtful Henry. A lot of science info and fun family dynamic, it was very clever, quirky and funny.
I loved 'Ghosted' and couldn't wait to read book 2 in the 'Gosted' series. While it does reference Characters from the first one, 'Switched' could be read as a stand alone.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sarah Ready, and the publishers for the ARC of the e-book and audiobook!
I loved being able to read the ebook with the footnotes, diagrams and doodles, but also to be able to listen to the audiobook as well and hear the POV of both characters.

First Thank you Netgalley for the ebook arc. Sarah Ready had done it again. I love the twist that she puts in her Rom-Coms, two CERN doctors have a one night stand and after she denies her feelings for him, they end up in a freaky Friday situation. After having to stick together and going to a family wedding and rushing to be by her mother’s side after having a heart attack, they learn more and more about each other and what it means to be in a relationship and the fear that she had of losing one’s identity once you enter a relationship isn’t what she originally thought, it’s about growing with the other person and making each other better , not become one in the same and losing all self identity. With wonderful self growth, and some breaking of the fourth wall, and a whole lot of love Switched is a cute rom-com.

This was a fun book! It reminded me of Freaky Friday as a romance. I loved the premise and the characters and how their relationship developed throughout the book. I would definitely be interested in reading more of this series and more from this author. Parts of it were a little spicy, but I could feel the depth of the love between the characters. I received a free copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

I loved the creativity of this story, A mix of workplace romance with science and Freaky Friday, Switched is engaging and entertaining. As far as the romance I wish I felt the chemistry more, everything else was brilliantly described while the romance seemed take a bit of a back seat.
