SENSATIONAL!!! Thank you NetGalley and W.W. Crown and Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

First off, I want to thank my twin, Cara, for buddy reading this amazing book with me 💞. I had the best time giggling and crying with you. I love you so much! 🥰😘

OH MY CELESTIAL STARS!!! 💗💗💗💗💗 I absolutely loved this book so much!! Sarah Ready ALWAYS delivers for me and this is no exception!! At this point, I would read the phone book if she wrote it!! Ghosted was one of my favorite reads for 2023 so when I learned that the author was making it into a series I was beyond ecstatic!! I can say without a shadow of a doubt that book two exceeded all my expectations and is one of my favorite reads for 2024!! What a beautiful, charming, magical, hilarious and heartwarming paranormal rom-com that will remain in my heart forever!! In addition, can we just pause and appreciate this gorgeous cover of the book!!

Serena loves physics, Star Trek and her cat, Captain Purrk. She enjoys her simple life and staying permanently, happily unattached. Loving a man isn't in her future. While Henry loves physics, family and friends. He can't wait to find the woman of his dreams. Love and marriage are in his future. Complete opposites, right!?! Well, one perfect night they meet and sparks fly, particles collide and the universe comes to a halt! Until an electrical storm causes an unexpected "Freaky Friday"event at the particle collider and suddenly they've switched!! Serena is in Henry's body. Henry is in Serena's body. Now this is when life and love gets really complicated!! They have to pretend to be each other and stick together while trying to figure out how to switch back. Will they even be able to switch back?

The banter, tension, chemistry and hilarious moments between them was perfection! Henry is such a cinnamon roll, sweetheart and I love him so much!! He always followed his heart no matter the cost. I enjoyed seeing the personal growth both of them went through. Because they were living in each other's bodies it allowed them to see and feel things about one another in a new light. Honestly, it helps them to understand each other more deeply. In addition, I loved that this was about self discovery, female individualism and how you don't have to lose your identity to be with someone you love.

Overall, it was a sweet, hilarious and delightful rom-com that I highly recommend!! Of course, you will need to suspend belief to fully appreciate this wonderful love story. It truly deserves ALL the stars!! 💫💫💫💫💫

Sarah Ready does it AGAIN 🤭

plot line:
For Serena Otaki, free-spirited Californian, life is simple. She loves smashing atoms at The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. She loves Star Trek, spicy tofu, and her cat, Captain Purrk. She loves her messy (slob-fest) apartment, her chaotic brand of organizing, and staying permanently, happily unattached.

Life is perfect. She has one true love—physics.

Loving a man isn’t in her future.

For Henry Joules, uptight Brit, life is simple. He loves making analog black holes, drinking piping hot tea, and organizing his pencil tray. He loves his family, red meat, and obsessively cleaning his spotless apartment.

Life is perfect. He has many loves—physics, family, friends. He can’t wait to find the woman of his dreams.

Love and marriage are in his future.

One perfect night Serena and Henry meet. Sparks fly, particles collide, the universe comes to a halt, and…

It was a mistake.
They’re too different.
It won’t work.
Love isn’t in their future.

Until an electric storm causes an unexpected event at the particle collider and suddenly—they’ve switched.

Serena is in Henry’s body.
Henry is in Serena’s body.

And both life and love are suddenly very, very complicated.

my thoughts:
wow , just wow!

my first 5 star read of 2024.
I think this is the fastest I’ve ever read a book - not that time matters , but I don’t usually tend to finish a book within 24 hours since starting it 🙃

after being skeptical and wondering “how well can someone write a story about two character switching bodies , make the plot make sense and overall enjoyable for the reader” but I’m glad Sarah put my worries to rest and showed me how it’s done.

not only did this book have so much description - that many other books tend to leave out , it also included multiple tropes , footnotes , diagrams and illustrations!
(which I’ve never seen in a book before).

Serena and Henry’s love story (in my opinion) is a masterpiece - with the twist and turns that happen in this book as a reader you feel emotionally and physically connected to these characters.

also can we talk about Henry? UGH MY HEART 💔 he is quite literally the epitome of “book husband” and will added to my never ending list of “fictional men that I love”.

i highly recommend this book for anyone who needs something comforting to read or perhaps needs a new perspective on love.

thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review ☺️

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book in return for an honest review.

This book was so good! I love when weird things happen and this was definitely a bit weird. Serna and Henry switched bodies and must figure out how to switch back before it is too late! Super funny moments with super sweet moments. The characters were great! I loved seeing little bits of Jillian and Daniel and seeing how their story was progressing. Definitely recommend this series! Sarah Ready fan for life!

First, I was so excited about the footnotes! And the doodles and drawings were hysterical.

In this hilarious and heart-warming story, Henry meets Serena (Ducky) and they feel an instant connection but Serena never wants to get "anglerfished" to anyone.

But physics has other plans and they switch bodies and then their lives get complicated.

Since this was Book 2 in the Ghosted series, and they share some of the same characters and it had been on my TBR list, I was able to borrow "Ghosted" from the @hoopladigital app and it was wonderful, too!

So when does the third book "Fated" become available? I'll be waiting and hunting for it!

I absolutely loved the first book in this series and have enjoyed this author's books before, so I was super excited about reading this story

Serena and Henry are two physicists who meet and are instantly attracted to each other but could not be more different. She doesn't believe in love and he does. Due to an extremely implausible scientific event they switch bodies and get to know each other far better than they thought they would.

This is a charming book full of funny and sweet moments. I particularly loved the footnotes. The only thing I will say is that I found it less emotionally engaging than this author's previous books, and while I liked Serena, Henry and the whole cast of characters, I wasn't fully invested in the story.

I kept thinking of a movie I saw a long time ago with Guy Pearce and Claudia Karvan in it (an Australian film) that I really enjoyed, and I think the comparison might have dulled the entertainment value of this book for me. I think I wanted more of a connection between Serena and Henry - although their meet-cute is hilarious, I just couldn't see why these two were drawn to each other except for the fact that they are both extremely good looking.

I still enjoyed it though, and while this book wasn't my favourite by this author, I definitely hope she keeps writing.


I received an advance copy of this book. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I adore this book so much! The story sucked me in right away and didn't let go!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What it's About (Spoiler Free):

Imagine you fell in love at a young age with science and swore off all other love in your life. Now imagine decades later during a one night stand you find yourself feeling that falling sensation again, but you push it away. Will there be consequences for running from love?

Add in some science, beautiful locations, and Star Trek references. Don't forget the the impossible aspect of switching bodies with your complete opposite!

Mix it all together and you get Switched! The second book in the Ghosted series by Sarah Ready.

My Thoughts:

This book put a lovely and interesting spin on switching bodies with another person! I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen, but there were unexpected details that popped up. These details added more depth to the characters' precarious situation of being in the wrong body.

I also really enjoyed Serena's character growth throughout the book. I often find romance books lacking in believable character development, but the author did a great job of creating realistic growth for Serena! She makes some big realizations about her life by the end of the book, but you can see her slowly coming to them throughout in a believable way.

Another strong aspect of this book, and my favorite part, is the use of graphs, diagrams, lists, and footnotes. Not only did they make the book fun to read, but they helped create a more complete picture of Serena! Some of the graphs and diagrams also helped explain some of the more intricate science concepts in the book! Perfect for somebody who is not very familiar with science terms, like me.

The only thing I did not like about this book was the description of Henry's niece. The text describes her as being a 4 year old with a lisp due to the loss of her front teeth. However, kids that young don't lose teeth yet. It's a minor detail and it doesn't matter in the larger context of the book anyway.

I definitely recommend reading this book of you love books about women in STEM and the movie Freaky Friday!

*I received this eARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Freaky Friday but make it *romance*
Serena and Henry meet, both immediately feel this pull to one another... and while Henry is all set to take that leap, Serena is so anti-relationship that she pushes him away. Turns out that Henry is actually Serena's new boss and after a year plus of a contentious, barely neutral working relationship a mishap near the particle collider leaves them having body swapped! 
Sarah Ready has quickly become an auto-read author for, and this book is another example of why! Switched is the second book in the Ghosted Series (but works as a standalone if you ask me!) and does lean a little heavily into science/science fiction and some of that went over my head, but the character development is yet again top notch. Having Serena and Henry body swapped while throwing them into situations and events with their families was such a unique way to have them gain an understanding of the other and why their one amazing night together ended the way it did. I loved both Serena and Henry and their chemistry made this story that much better!
Give this feel-good book a read if you like:- A little science fiction in your romance- Force Proximity- Fake Dating- Opposites Attract
Thank you, NetGalley and W.W. Crown, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Switched is the second book in this series, but featuring different main characters than those in Ghosted. Ghosted was my first book by Ready, but I was instantly a fan. Switched was just as good with an interesting plot, lovable characters, and a smart and sassy female lead.

I breezed through this book so fast I did not want it to end. We’ve all heard of the Freaky Friday theme, but this one really tugs at your heart. Serena we know from Ghosted, as Jillian’s best friend. Henry is new for us, but he is so lovable, adorable, and ready to fall madly in love. I wanted to jump into the book and claim him for myself! You just can’t help but root for these two.

I found this story interesting simply because both characters understand over the course of weeks how to care for one another and be for them when tragedy or a happy occasion arises.

My two favorite aspects of this book were how Ready made this book her own by including hand drawn diagrams and footnotes. Both were super funny and really added to the book. There aren’t a lot of each, but they are placed where needed. Side note: the anatomy of a Ken Doll was pretty funny.

Ready just has a way with writing a story that makes you forget your real life, which is something I really need right now. I am obsessed with her stories and her ability to create smart characters that aren’t pompous and full of themselves. Think Ali Hazelwood but better. I know, I said it.

Pick up Ghosted and Switched if you are looking for cute stories that suck you in. They are completely worth it.

*An ARC was provided by NetGalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Switched was a cute read. It didn’t grip me as firmly as some of her other books but it was still super cute and a nice vacation from reality.

I love the story concept. I loved the actual story as it went along (the meeting of families, the reliving ingrained memories) but there were misses in the unfolding of the story that I wish had been done differently. I wish we could have known in more truthful terms how Serena felt in the year and a half they were not speaking which only became apparent much later after first having read her inner monologue about disliking him, it was confusing. Did she dislike him? Did she love him? It was inconsistent and even when you’re trying to lie to yourself, your inner monologue is going to be a bit more honest than what we saw here.

Also I wish instead of her being some STEM pinup girl, she could have been a bit more humble and Henry saw her beauty, not that every man wanted her and Henry was just one in many men that probably couldn’t resist her. It’s like I want this story, but I want a rewrite where Serena is more relatable and vulnerable and not just vulnerable in Henry’s eyes. One where there’s unrequited love for both of them, not just Henry who couldn’t stand the distance and being willing to leave because of it.

Lastly, while I definitely appreciate women in scientific fields other than my own, there was a lot of waxing poetic about (oh goodness I don’t even know, the collider? Particle physics, the universe)…let them just make love for goodness sake, don’t give us a chapter about scientific discovery and then next thing you know Henry has a sweaty back and I’m flipping back and forth trying to figure out if I missed something (I did—apparently they had sex while I was reading about science). I don’t need open door but that was just convoluted.

What I loved: I loved everything from when they switched until the end. The actual conflict of them sharing their bodies and their banter along the way. Once I got past the rough start it was much more addicting and I’m glad I stuck it out.

I love this series so much!!! Ghosted was one of my top favorite reads of 2023, and i am glad to say this one is up there as well. There’s just something about Sarah’s writing that makes it so easy to read her books, and her story’s always have just a little more something than other romance books.

I was so excited to get into this book, but i will say the whole swapping bodies thing is so common i was a bit afraid it would be pretty predictable, but i trusted Sarah and went into and i was not disappointed. The romance, the friendships, everything was top notch!

i went back and forth from the audio and the ebook because i didn’t want to put it down!!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this! Sarah Ready is one of my new favorite authors. Her stories are so unique and fun to read. I thought this was super cute and full of emotion.

What a great story! I’ve read a few of Sarah Ready’s books in the past and they are always so unique and fascinating. Besides the whole switching bodies thing, I found both characters Serena and Henry to be relatable-their fears and emotions. I cannot recommend her books enough!

Thank you for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you, Sarah Ready and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this early. 

They say you never know someone until you walked a mile in their shoes. Well, Serena Otaki, double-doctorate physicist who works smashing atoms at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, is about to know Henry Joule really really well. They met 437 days ago (or so) at The Cock and Bull, had an earth shattering one night stand that scared the bejesus out of Serena (who falls in love at first sight? Not her, for sure!), specially when she finds out he's about to be her new boos at the lab. So she does the reasonable thing to do: friendzones the crap out of him. 

Henry was equally thunderstruck by his encounter with Serena and doesn't understand why she suddenly went out of her way to hurt him. Now, they've been working together for more than a year in a most civilized manner... until the Universe (capital U) has plans for them.

One night, one thunderstorm, one anomaly in the lab and - boom! - they wake up in each other's bodies! And with those bodies come feelings and memories... Henry has to attend his brother's wedding that weekend, so Serena has to go, posing as him and him posing as his girlfriend.

Now they're walking a mile in each other's bodies - will Serena understand that love can, indeed, be wonderful? Will they ever switch back?

This one was lovely! So much fun to read/listen to this geeky Freaky Friday! I loved all the scienc-y stuff (former woman in STEM here) and it's so romantic! And funny!

Actual Rating: 3.75

Serena Otaki, lady of stem. Passionate about Star Trek, spicy tofu, and her cat, Captain Purrk. Happily chaotic she is very content with her life and how it's going. Currently working at The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, she's not ready for any change. Until one night when she meets Henry Joules, simple and sweet Brit. They spend the night together and worlds collide. They are in love - but Serena can't have that. She breaks away from Henry and vows to get on with her life. As luck may have it, Henry is also her new boss. Someone she has to see every single day. During a late night at the office a freak storm causes havoc, forcing both Serena and Henry to switch bodies. Can they find their way back to themselves and still be the same people? Or does the universe have bigger plans for the pair?

Here we have another great addition to the women of STEM category in romance. Serena is strong, knows what she wants and she is overall, quite likable. Watching both her and Henry falling deeper and acknowledging their instant attraction was love was satisfying. I loved the scientific references and the stark contrast between both MC's. Switched is a journey of self-discovery in a light and hilarious way. Great as a standalone, but there are characters involved in this story from Ghosted. For the best overall reading, give that one a go first, if you haven't already.

Perfect for fans of:
- Instalove.
- Breaking the fourth wall.
- Opposites attract
- Forced proximity.
- Fake dating.

Thank you to NetGalley & Sarah Ready for both an eARC and ALC for honest review. Publication is set for February 20th, 2024.

I read the first book in this series last year and loved it. This one focuses on the best friend of the main character in Ghosted. Serena loves science, and there’s no room in her heart for a man. She has a steamy night with Henry and she quickly breaks his heart by saying she’s not a relationship girl. Time goes by and during a mishap at CERN (where they both work), they switch bodies. Things go from there.

Ghosted is my favorite in the series so far. I enjoyed this one, but the last few chapters of the book were a bit cheesy for my tastes.

Thanks as always to NetGalley for the ARC.

This was a very different twist on a fake dating romance but I really enjoyed it! I loved the Freaky Friday vibes but as always I wish it were steamier.

At this point, I'm convinced that Sarah Ready could publish her grocery list and I'd be in love. Her range of romance writing is freaking fabulous. Switched is the second installment in the Ghosted series, can fully be read as a stand-alone but shares the similar almost 'paranormal', quirky, kinda science-y and nerdy qualities of a romance.

Switched embraces the "Freaky Friday" theme and Serena and Henry are now in each other's bodies. I loved Serena and Henry, total opposites yet work together so incredibly well. Their banter throughout is top-notch, another Sarah Ready trait that hits every time. Throughout this laugh out loud read, there are such tender and intimate moments of them helping each other out in such vulnerable times. The evolution of their personal growths and their relationship is magical.

All in all, another knockout from Ready that will have you snickering in delight, swooning, and groaning with frustration from the tension that builds.

Sarah Ready books are an auto read for me. I love ghosted, and absolutely loved this one as well. I got the arc ebook and the audiobook and switched between the two. Kinda reminded me of Freaky Friday (body switching) and I loved that movie growing up. While both ways are good, definitely recommend the audiobook. I absolutely loved the narrator!

Our main character Serena believes true love is a science. If only it were that easy girl. Black and white, and not messy. Henry is looking for his true love. These two switch bodies and have to figure out how to switch back. Along the way they really get to know each other and the rest is history.. you know a great love story!

I did enjoy this one a little more than "Ghosted" (also by this author) but that's just because I really enjoyed the body swapping premise! I wish there was more magical realism in rom com books. Ashley Poston is another author who does a great job of this!



Thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Ok the Ghosted series is back and still great!!

This time we follow Serena Otaki who doesn’t believe in love, unless that love is particle physics. After an encounter with her co-worker, they find themselves in each others’ bodies and start to realize they understand each other more than they thought.

This book was quirky, funny and had a lot of heart. It was just such a feel good time that I had trouble putting it down! The body switching led to some truly hilarious scenes and thought this was seriously just a good read. Suspend your disbelief and you’ll have a great time.

I literally just finished this book and had to review it immediately! This is such a heartwarming story that had me smiling and chuckling throughout. It was like watching a rom-com in my head 😍

Serena is a physicist who is convinced her one true love is science. There’s no room for anything else. Henry, who is also a physicist, is welcoming to all love and hopes to find someone to spend his life with. They have a chance (or fated??) meeting and an out of this universe night together, but they were doomed before they started. Then something impossible happens, they switch bodies. They now are stuck together (and in each other) while trying to figure out how to switch back.

I absolutely loved this book! I loved getting to see Serena and Henry in each other’s heads. This story had me pulled me in and I never wanted to let go. 💜 I will definitely be picking up more of Sarah Ready’s work!

Do yourself a favor and put this on your TBR!

Thank you NetGalley and Swift and Lewis Publishing for a copy of this ebook!
