Wow, this book surprised me how much I couldn’t put it down. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. Great love story with many twists and turns and laugh out loud moments. I loved both of the main characters even them being total opposite. I absolutely loved this book and will look for other books by this author.

It took me a little longer to get into this book compared to its predecessor, Ghosted, but it did hit the same emotional arcs and was incredibly written. I wasn’t certain this should be a series as Ghosted was one of my favorite reads last year but this book held its own. I loved it!

This is a unique take on the switching trope. It has some cute moments that definitely make you feel for the characters, but there are some odd inconsistencies with the switching. As long as I didn't think too much about things like - they had the cravings, thoughts, and memories of the other person, but didn't get their accent and had to learn to fake it - it was a more enjoyable read. Although, I did get secondhand embarrassment for them as they experienced uncomfortable realities of the other person's body like having a period.

As far as the characters go, I struggled to connect with Serena initially, I found her to be ditzy and a bit insufferable, and her behavior does not fit the intelligent STEM woman that she is supposed to be. On the flip side, Henry is adorable and I felt bad for him and thought he deserved better for most of the book. Luckily, Serena does grow after being switched, so I'm glad I kept reading to see that happen and it made the HEA feel more plausible.

Overall, it's a silly take on the women in STEM and switched tropes. Just don't think too much while reading it and you'll enjoy it more.

Sarah Ready has been on my radar for a while now, and seeing the opportunity to read an early copy of this new novel, I had both an e-arc and and ald this title, and after listening for a few chapters, switched to the ebook (while both narrators are talented, the ebook has footnotes and diagrams that the audio is missing).

Despite a slow start, I really enjoyed this Freaky Friday / science-y romcom a lot. Engagingly humorous and well written, the longing in this one was spot on.


This was my first time reading the author’s work; it won’t be the last 😍

I am seriously amazed by Sarah Ready. She has the amazing ability to create such unique storylines.

Switched is Freaky Friday inspired, but a man and woman swap. To say it's hilarious is an understatement. This might be Sarah's funniest book yet.

I both read and listened to it and it was fabulous in both formats, the audio production was superb and may have made it even more funny.

Highly entertaining, laugh out loud funny and a good dose of LOVE

“Switched” is a fun, body-switching story sure to be loved by fans of romantic comedies. Serena (FMC) is a quirky, nerdy, free-spirited and permanently unattached physicist who loves Star Trek, coffee, and her cat. One day, she meets Henry (MMC), a hunk of a Brit who loves his hot tea, organizing, and is on the search for the love of his life. After an enjoyable meet cute, they soon realize that they are too different to be together… until an electric storm causes them to switch bodies and changes their lives forever.

Reading this book made me feel like Serena was a loveable, if sometimes chaotic, incredibly stubborn friend. I loved her passion for her career and physics. As a self-proclaimed nerd, I found it really fun that Serena had a lot of nerdy hobbies and passions. There were some details regarding physics and theories that I was unfamiliar with, however I think that the author did a great job at briefly explaining them and giving them context without sounding too confusing. I thought the footnotes and diagrams were a fun addition to the story.

Switched is the second in the a series, however it can easily be read as a standalone. There was a brief mention of the first book (Ghosted), however I didn’t find anything confusing or unexplained having not read the previous book.

As a fan of rom-coms, I really enjoyed this book! The writing style was friendly and funny, and I felt like this book was a great escape from daily life. I recommend this book for fans of rom-coms, women in STEM, opposites attract, and (of course) Freaky Friday!

Thank you very much to the author (Sarah Ready), the publisher (W.W. Crown an Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), and Members' Audiobooks), and NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of both the ebook and the audiobook for me to review!

In the audiobook, I found it challenging to maintain the flow of the story whenever the footnotes were introduced. They were distracting and took away from the overall experience. However, the narration was simply outstanding, and the protagonists were fantastic. The plot was straightforward and easy to follow, making for an engaging and enjoyable listening experience. I recommend purchasing the book.

This quick and delightful romantic comedy starts off at a rapid pace. The way Henry's worlds collide is hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable. I loved how the book revisited Jillian from the previous book in the series. Switched is reminiscent of Freaky Friday, with additional funny moments that will make you laugh out loud. The cross-world travel in this book adds to the fun, especially when Henry's brother is getting married and is in Serena's body, forcing Serena to step in as the best man. There are some lovely moments where we see how different Henry and Serena are, yet how much they care for each other. I loved the connection they had with each other's bodies. It was great to see Daniel and Jillian from the previous book in the series make an appearance, which made me smile. The romance aspect of the book was fast at times and slow at others, but it worked well due to the short time skipped.

Publication: February 20, 2024

Rating: 3.5 stars

This was my first book by Ready and it was just the light hearted read that I needed. I did enjoy that you don’t need to read the first book in the series to understand what is happening with this story.

I was initially drawn in by the synopsis of switched bodies but I did enjoy that the storyline did go a bit deeper. The biggest thing that I struggled with was the romance aspect of it and I was in a huge fan of Serena. Overall, this is the perfect light hearted and emotional read for any reader.

Perfect for fans:
- Singular POV
- Opposites attract
- Grumpy x sunshine
- Workplace romance
- Women in STEM
- Instalove/ love at first sight
- Similar vibe to Ali Hazelwood

Switched was a delightful, fun read. The main character, Serena, is a physicist in Geneva. She meets an amazing man, Henry, one night while being stuck to her seat. However Serena does not want to fall in love. In a twist of fate, Serena and Henry switch bodies and have to learn to become each other. What follows is a fun, romantic story that you will not want to miss.

This was a great escape from daily life. I enjoyed reading about Henry and Serena becoming each other. I have read other books and seen other shows with a similar twist, but never about two people who are romantically interested in each other. As you can imagine this created many wonderful moments in the book. This was a perfect Rom-Com in book form.

Thank you to NetGalley and W.W. Crown and Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The book is charming and lovely, with both character well defined and thought through, yet evolving throughout the story course. The trope of body swapping is not well explored in the genre, hence this is quite unique and interesting read. I really appreciated the footnotes and drawings, they added an extra layer of cuteness to the book.

I do have a small comment though: as a European it really was bothering me that Ducky got „a two euro pilsner” in Cock and Bull, since they use Swiss francs in there and pilsner pint price in pubs is usually higher than 2€.

Fairly predictable rom com but it was still a good read that I enjoyed. Ready's books for me tend to not be anything that blow me away.

I really enjoyed this book. At first, I wasn't sure about it, and it felt a bit slow, but once I got into it, I ended up loving it!

The story is about Serena and Harry, who end up switching bodies, and then they spend considerable time trying to switch them back. I found this story really interesting and funny, and it was really entertaining. I highly recommend this book!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

OMG I finished this book several days ago, and I still am struggling writing a review because so many thoughts and feelings are facing in my head. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with both an audiobook ARC and a digital ARC of the book.

This rom com story surrounds Serena and Henry, two physicists living and working in Geneva. Besides working together, they are complete opposites - but after an electrical storm, the two swapped bodies. Hilariously awkward, the two try to navigate each other’s personal lives while also trying to switch back.

As an audiobook, it took me a bit to adjust to Serena’s tangents, mostly surrounding physics, but I soon found it not only endearing, but also informative. I was so sad when I finished this audiobook - though I basically listened to it nonstop for two days straight. I would listen it driving to work, to the grocery store, even while doing chores all around my house. I was transfixed and transported to the lives of Serena and Henry. Not only that, I then requested the digital ARC so I could tandem read and look at any images and graphs that the author added.

I am not typically a fan of blonde and cinnamon-bun MMC’s, but how can you not fall in love with Henry Joules? This story had so many layers, intersecting the personal relationships of the main characters with the relationship development between Henry and Ducky. My only wish is that we got more of Henry’s POV in order to experience more of his character development. On that note, Kelsey Navarro Foster did a wonderful job at narrating Serena’s POV (and I’m not just biased because we share the same name), but James Anderson Foster’s voice felt a bit too aged for me to envision him as Henry. Serena’s growth through these experiences is exponential, and I loved the normalization of women in STEM being criticized for balancing romantic relationships and career independence. Usually, sweet reads like this give me a toothache, but this one was a perfect balance of romance, comedy, growth, understanding and hope. I especially appreciated the author’s reference to our “glasses” affecting our word experiences (IYKYK).

It's been a while since a story actually made me cry for the MMC. I picked this one up because I was intrigued by the premise, despite this genre not being something that I generally gravitate towards. And I definitely didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did!

I typically start these reviews off with my thoughts on the FMC. But, in this case, I'm starting with Henry, our MMC. I can't really explain why, but despite his quirks, he is an incredibly relatable character. It doesn't help that he was also so stinkin' cute.

Now, Serena was an interesting and likable FMC. Her hangups were relatively justified, but I'm sure that the only reason that she doesn't make it to the top of my list is because no one in the story lives up to Henry.

Their relationship is fun and ridiculous, and full of ups and downs. Through the course of their... "adventure"... They learn so much about each other, themselves and the people that they love the most.

It's almost as if Serena doesn't deserve Henry's sweetness, but she is fully redeemable simply for the fact that despite all of her protests, she is the only one that takes the time to get to know him and understand him.

3.4 ⭐️

Yeah, so I am obsessed with this series from Sarah Ready. Ghosted was incredible, Switched, also incredible! I will be waiting on the edge of my seat for Fated. Can it drop tomorrow? I am ready for more!

You know that feeling when you are engrossed in a story and simultaneously want to know the ending but also want it to never end and stay in that world forever? Yeah, that sums up Switched. Dare I say, as much as I absolutely adored Ghosted, I may have liked Switched even more? Is that possible? How about I just love them both an extraordinary equal amount and wait with bated breath for Fated. Serena is beautiful, intelligent, and STUBBORN. Love literally falls down on her from the stars and she still tries her hardest to fight it with everything she's got. I mean, Henry is British! As an American, I am in love the minute he opens his mouth. Speaking of, I am dying to know what it is he does with that tongue...

I really enjoyed this entertaining book! Serena meets Henry one night at a bar and sparks fly between them. Before they can take it any further, Serena finds out that Henry is her new boss at CERN, the world’s largest particle collider. They are both high level physicists, and months haven’t forgotten their first meeting.

One night they are both working during a fierce thunderstorm, the power goes out, and they switch bodies. The switch shows them their true feelings towards each other, but they don’t know how to switch back.

I liked the way the romance developed after they switched, the Swiss setting of CERN, and I learned about particle colliders as well! 5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

Serena Otaki loves Physics, her one true love since she was a little girl. She doesn't think that she can have two loves. If she loves a man, she must give up her love for physics. She meets Henry Jules one night and they have a very intense night together. She might even be falling in love. But that can't happen, She won't let it. And worse of all, he feels it too. It turns out that he is her new team leader at work and she stops everything before it can go any farther. Then one night about a year and a half later, they somehow switch bodies. Now they have to figure out how to switch back.

I loved this book. It was amazing. I was laughing at parts, and crying at others. Everything a good romcom should be. There were a few fun twists and turns but that is what makes a book good. I loved how Serena learned so much about herself, even though she was in Henry's body and had to pretend to be him with both his family and hers. They still have some memories from the other person and through them, they both start to really learn and understand each other. Serena understands Henry's passion and Henry understands why Serena is so scared of love. I also really enjoyed the graphs, charts, and footnotes throughout the book. Because after all, what self-respecting scientist doesn't love a good chart?

Uber uber uber cute :D i hadn't heard of Sarah Ready before this but now I know that she's an awesome author, would recommend. thanks for the arc! and cheers
