Really cute, fun read. I liked the characters. I liked that the premise of them switching bodies. I thought it was written really well.

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 Joule, 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

Who doesn't love a classic switch story like the original parent trap!
Brilliant to read with some great twists and turns and viewing things from two perspectives.
Highly recommended.

I absolutely loved this book. Like the first, it started off a little shaky for me, but as soon as it found its sea legs, it really settled into a robust story with fantastic characters. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I am such a huge fan of Sarah's work! Freaky Friday and a STEM girl? Sign me up three times over! I love the twist on the classic love-at-first sight trope and Serena's (Ducky's) hijinks to stop falling in love at all costs! Henry was ABSOLUTELY SWOONWORTHY! It was witty and adorable. Since Serena's introduction, I was excited to see if there was going to be a story there! This DID NOT disappoint me. Serena's graphics and science comparisons were hilarious and gave me a fully immersive read. Henry and Ducky pretending to be one another is a delightful treat to be had. My only wish was that we got more Henry POVs! I cannot wait to continue this series!

This was an incredibly unique story. It was fun and there was tons to love about it but it could, at times, he a touch sad. Still recommend.

Come for the romance stay for the love. This has so much going for it, kooky scientists shut off from the world, weird stuff and a dash of Freaky Friday. Two people meet, have a great night together but next day part forever. Of course the universe has other ideas. Ducky is a scientist, she does science but doesn’t do life, but yeah the universe.
Yes it’s been done before but this works for me. If the nature of love is getting to know and understand the other person’s point of view then we should all body swop at some point.The comedy is on the physical and mental challenges of swapping bodies. The conclusion can only be that the body is irrelevant to love and it’s the person within you are reaching out too.
I enjoyed the plot and it’s amusing to bring in the totally innocent Hadron Collider into a romance novel and a great ending.

It took me a fat minute to get into this book because for some reason, it didn’t click what the premise was. Someone explain to me why I was shocked when the main plot finally started?
Anyway, I loved reading an enemies to lovers where they actually had a reason to hate each other and it’s not because they’re trying to kill each other.
I loved how honest and realistic her relationship with her mom is where they’re not besties but they don’t hate each other either because sometimes you just are mom and daughter.
I loved Henry. I don’t know what it was about him but I loved him.
I loved how little smut there was.
The only thing I didn’t like was the science. I skipped over it anytime I could. I also don’t understand how they fixed everything but it doesn’t matter. All is well that ends well!

Book: 5 ⭐️

Imagine meeting the love of your life but then end up hating each other. On top of this you get to switch bodies. This is exactly what happens to Serena „Ducky“ and Henry.

From there all sorts of funny but also sad things happen. Sarah Ready writes amazing quirky yet deep characters. Switched is a fun easy to read romance that I would recommend to everyone. I loved that we met the characters from book one again but this works as a standalone as well. Loved every bit of it. It’s 5 ⭐️ from me.


Thanks to #netgalley and the publisher to provide me with an e-arc and audiobook of #Switched in exchange for my honest. review.

This one didn’t have the connection that I was looking for in this read, which led me to have a hard time connecting and enjoying this read. There are a few moments that I was going to DNF because of that. I was able to push through and get to the end and upon finishing this and realizing that I only liked the read was they have a sort of meet cute and have an insta love that has a Freaky Friday vibe.

4 stars! ⭐

This book was unlike anything I've ever read, and I loved every second of it!

I couldn't put this book down—it transported me to a cozy, unique world set in Scotland. The whole premise is like a version of Freaky Friday. And lord, do I love Henry. It was also fascinating to see the diagrams and charts Serena made.

Henry is such a sweet character, and the fact that he's British added to his charm. The atmosphere of the book was incredibly cozy, and the side characters, especially Vinny, were hilarious. The chemistry between Henry and Serena was delightful, and their funny habit of drinking fifty cups of tea and coffee every day added a nice touch. The book was well-written and easy to read, and I appreciated seeing ghosting represented in a book—it made me emotional but in a good way. The story carried a wonderful message about love: you don't need to fear it because you already love something with your whole heart. Love doesn't have to devour you; you can love multiple things.

However, I did have a few dislikes. Serena's personality was initially off-putting as she often talked about her attractiveness and how all the men wanted her. Her character felt a bit shallow at first, but she redeemed herself later on. The constant science talk was confusing and felt unnecessary at times. Lorna was a character I could have done without. The scenes where the characters were essentially kissing themselves felt odd, though I understood why it happened.

This book was everything. A light hearted story with a plot very similar to freaky Friday, and a heartwarming character development.

I didn't know that this series could get better, but it did. It has a whole freaky Friday big bang theory vibe that was so unique. I loved the banter, the storyline, the characters, and the ending 😍 you can't go wrong with a quirky FMC and a hot nerd MMC. I loved the touches of family, seeing bits of the friendship and characters from book one, and the saved cat 🐈 if you like tropes 👉 forced proximity, he falls first, magical realism, cat 🐈, STEM characters

I am quite enjoying the trend of romance novels featuring women in STEM. The characters were dynamic and the author took care to develop them and their relationship while telling a new story based on a familiar troupe.

Thanks to Netgalley, W.W. Crown and Sarah Ready for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Switched. I loved the premise and felt that it lived up to it. I loved Serena and Henry, they had great chemistry.
Serena was my favourite character from Sarah's previous book, Ghosted.

I'm looking forward to reading the next installment.

4 Stars from me. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

really enjoyed this book!

Everyone is saying “Freaky Friday”, but it’s giving “it’s a boy/girl thing”. Same thing.
Boy wakes up in girls body, girl wakes up in boys body.
Except that was high schoolers, and this is really smart scientists.

Serena only has space to love one thing. And that is science. The universe. Henry has space for endless love.
So what happens when they body swap? Can they learn other ways to love? Learn how to love each other?

It was different to the usual boy meets girl. But the only gripe I have with these STEM women (this is not the only STEM book I’ve read and they’re all the same) is they are always not interested in love, crazy cat lady, completely nerd. And the blokes are always so prim and proper and neat. Can we maybe write about a woman in STEM who has managed to have it all? A great upbringing, a great education, great friends and managed to organise her life completely she has a neat and tidy and cute apartment, and she has time for her career and for love!!?

But I did love the writing and the story. I said shoot I KNEW IT here and there. And I did cry a little at the end.

Already downloaded the next in the series (standalone) so I’m ready to read more

While I’ve been a fan of Sarah Ready’s books for a while, especially the true gem that is Josh and Gemma’s books, this one just wasn’t it for me. The story was a bit all over the place, and the jokes a bit too cringy? Maybe just a tad out of tune. I mean, there were moments where I could see the potential, but it felt like it never quite hit the mark. Some parts dragged, and the characters didn't grab me like her others did. It’s like, I wanted to love it, but it just didn’t click. Maybe next time!

This was cute and easygoing, i enjoyed doing my chores way more while listening to this.

Still something was missing ? I cant quiet pin it down, but while i enjoyed it I know it wont last.

Still would recommend for someone who is looking for a beach read

After reading Ghosted, I was beyond excited for Switched and it did not disappoint! I have loved both story lines and the way I feel connected to the characters and their journeys!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of Switched!

3.75 stars so obviously gonna round up you know?

“Although success has never felt so wrong.”

I want to thank NetGalley and Swift and Lewis Publishing LLC for approving my request to read Switched. I am sorry it took this long, but I finally got around to it!

“Fear robs us of reason.”

I enjoyed Switched! I didn’t think it was actually going to be like a Freaky Friday situation (which I thought was going to happen) because there was so much preparation in the beginning. Honestly not too sure of how I feel about that. It’s like I wish we got to the main problem in the book sooner, but the context was definitely needed. So I’m a little conflicted about that.

“How do you describe a feeling that can’t be put into words?”

I think the whole part with … uh the irrelevant person obsessed with Henry wasn’t fully fleshed out. Like it was funny how Serena couldn’t figure out how to hide a boner and for Jillian to finally realize that Henry’s body contained Serena, but I feel like I didn’t get to hear how things worked out for her. Like I get she’s irrelevant, but she’s relevant enough to make me want to see her react to Henry and Serena.

“I’d stay with you every night. Every day. If we never switched back I’ll stay with you. If we do switch back I’ll stay with you. It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s you.”

This quote got me in a chokehold. It made me wish that I was that person being told that and I think that that’s what made this book stand out to me, it was full of quotes that really “spoke” to me. And a good amount of these quotes haven’t “spoken” to me for negative reasons either, which was really refreshing.

“This must be what happily ever after feels like - something I thought was impossible but really isn’t.”

I did not expect there to be a gut wrenching part in Switched, but there it was, pretty much screaming at me. It made me so captivated to wonder what was actually going to happen. Like, there’s no way that there wouldn’t be a happily ever after, right? I think I wouldn’t be too upset if there wasn’t, but boy did it make me glad to see the entire thing play out after they switch back.

“And I’m not sorry to die. I’m only sorry to leave him.”

This entire read was such a fun book to read, and I think that’s kind of what I needed. I love my complex and twisty books, but to have a nice “little” romance book read was really a breath of fresh air.

I will of course be continuing with this series but book 2 just couldn’t hold a candle to book 1 for me. I was so excited to see Daniel and Jillian again but I wasn’t as invested with Serena and Henry. However it did have its moments of course. I’m looking forward to book 3.
