I love Sarah Ready books! I love footnotes in this book, it might just be my language!! Imagine all the explanation my anxious brain can provide for everything that comes out of my mouth!! I am skeptical about body switch thing but being a big Sarah ready fan, I repeatedly assured myself that she will do justice to my trust and man! Did she!! California girl and an English dude..fall in love but refuse..so freaky Friday body switchroo happens. They learn each other and more importantly learn to accept each other. Every romantics bone in your body will be satisfied with this book!

Switched by Sarah Ready was typically everything I look for in a romcom. I’ve got to admit that I didn’t have any idea what I was getting into because I’d never read any books from this author before, but I loved the writing just as much as I adored Ducky breaking for the fourth wall every now and then and addressing the reader directly. Both main characters were loveable and I had so much fun reading about their switching bodies problem — a trope I’d never read beforehand, either.

The big plus for me was all the very nerdy references, as a sci-fi nerd girly I loved getting all those Star Trek names drop here and there. I know some people do not appreciate heavy references to pop-culture in romances, but I’ve got to admit I couldn’t get quite enough of them, and all those little science diagrams included as well. It was a funny little plus!

The only downside would be the ending, which was slightly rushed, and in my opinion the epilogue felt more of a forced little snippet into their lives —because it somehow *had* to be written— rather than a fun little plus side to the story.

I would definitely read more from this author without a second thought! 4.25 stars ⭐️

Such a fun and magical read!! I loved how it gave me the feels and made me reminisce about Freaky Friday!
I laughed my way through Henry's family and sighed and teared up during Selenas.
It was a good mix of all emotions.

This novel gave me a whirlwind of emotions vibe. It was well written, and very descriptive. I feel that sometimes it was too descriptive in the sense that the details of the locations were too much sometimes; too lengthy in detail, but that’s just me. Other than the exaggerated thesaurus of words, I did like this storyline and that’s what’s important. The story got so wild towards the last few 40 pages or so and I was nearly holding it together!! Thank you for this unique book from everything else that is out there - it was a good different.

This took a few chapters to get going but once they switched bodies I got really into it! I really felt for Serena and her fears about getting lost in a man, I do think she was unnecessarily harsh on Henry in the beginning so it took me a little bit to warm up to her. Henry was a cutie and I loved his sincerity. I did not realize this was part of a series when I read it, it can absolutely be read as a stand alone, however, the couple from the first book do appear and their story is spoiled. This didn't bother me and honestly I'm super intrigued to read the first book now!!

"Switched in Love" is a delightful rom-com that deftly blends science, humor, and romance. Serena Otaki, a carefree Californian physicist, and Henry Joule, a meticulous British scientist, couldn't be more different. However, when a freak accident at the Large Hadron Collider swaps their bodies, chaos ensues. What follows is a hilarious exploration of identity, love, and the unpredictability of life.

Sarah crafts a witty narrative filled with quirky characters and laugh-out-loud moments. Serena's laid-back attitude clashes amusingly with Henry's uptight demeanor, leading to plenty of comedic misunderstandings. Yet, beneath the humor lies a heartwarming story about acceptance and finding love in unexpected places.

The novel's unique premise, combined with its well-developed characters and fast-paced plot, makes it a page-turner from start to finish. Readers will find themselves rooting for Serena and Henry as they navigate their newfound predicament and discover what truly matters in life.

"Switched in Love" is a charming tale that will appeal to fans of romantic comedies and science fiction alike. With its blend of science and romance, it's a refreshing addition to the genre that will leave readers smiling long after they've turned the final page.

I truly enjoyed this book. Sarah Ready's description of settings and facial expressions really enthralls you in this book and transports you. For me it felt more like watching a movie than reading a book in some ways.
Serena's miscommunication and I hate love attitude was frustrating for a second, but honestly, it made the 'enemies' to lovers all that more enjoyable for me. I usually hate when a character gets too attached fast or moves too quickly, but for some reason, in this book, it just seemed right.....

I found myself laughing out loud multiple times and it was just a fun read.

Thank you, Sarah Ready and NetGalley for giving me early access to this novel!

Writing: Quirky Plot: Unique, but not for everyone Rating: 4 stars Genre: Contemporary Romance Tags: Insta-love, opposites attract, forced proximity, fake dating, slow burn, minimal steam

"Switched" by Sarah Ready is a quirky and romantic tale that explores the complexities of love and self-discovery in a refreshingly unique way. The occasional breaking of the fourth wall, diagrams, and footnotes provided an interactive experience that enriched the storytelling and kept me intrigued throughout.

I loved the Freaky Friday body swap trope, but it felt a little weird watching Serena fall for Henry despite him looking and acting like her. I also enjoyed being able to relate to Serena's feelings of love being an end-all to the person she was. I also grew up with the theory that to fall in love was to lose yourself and your dreams.

Despite the central romance, I couldn't help but feel that the chemistry between Serena and Henry fell short of expectations, it lacked any depth and intensity until the final 20% of the book.

Nevertheless, "Switched" remains an enjoyable read, characterized by its whimsical charm and heartfelt exploration of love and self-discovery. Despite its occasional quirks and minor shortcomings, the story offers a delightful escape into a world where love transcends boundaries and challenges preconceived notions.


Thank you to Netgalley for sending me this ARC to read.

I had a fun time reading this novel! Definitely an interesting concept with the author’s own twist. Would recommend 10/10

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book centers around a plot that had me intrigued from the beginning: switching bodies and falling in love. The two main characters have a funny meet cute where the female mc literally gets stuck to a seat and the male mc has to help her. Sparks fly and their night is magical, but that’s not when the body swap happens.

Serena fears getting serious and pushes Henry away suddenly after realizing they’ll be working together. Late one night they are working in the lab when the unexpected happens and they wake up in each others’ bodies.

It would be easy for this concept to go cringe as there are mentions of physical differences and challenges of living in the opposite genders’ body, but they are tactfully done and the characters show tender care for each other as they face those challenges. Forced to attend a family wedding and deal with a family health scare, they become closer than ever as they live for each other.

This book is science-y and smart. I like that the female main character is prioritizing her hopes and dreams and the male main character is a supportive softie. An enjoyable read if you love Freaky Friday!

Switched, by Sarah Ready, is a cute opposites-attract rom-com, with definite Freaky Friday vibes, all set in a nerdy, STEM-filled atmosphere.
It's a quick easy read that even comes with electronic (I read an ebook) footnotes! Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

I always end up enjoying Sarah Ready's books; they always provide a delightful reading experience. This particular book was no exception. I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the story and of course, charmed by the characters. The inclusion of scientific tidbits. physics, and illustrations added an extra layer of fun when reading. However, what truly stood out were the footnotes; they were a brilliant and unique addition that added depth and humor to the narrative. I found myself wishing for even more footnotes, as they brought such a playful element to the story. The chemistry between Serena and Henry was another highlight for me. While I initially found the switching a bit jarring, I quickly grew to appreciate it. Witnessing Henry and Serena's gradual discovery of each other was a cute journey, and I loved seeing them get their happy ending. Overall, this book was fun to read, and I would recommend it to others.

4 stars ⭐️

This was such a cute read! I blew through it in two days. Freaky Friday, but make it nerdy. And I’m here for it! Fans of Ali Hazelwood, like myself, will eat this up.

I really enjoyed the author’s writing style and humor. It’s light-hearted and funny, but also has moments of sentimentality. I laughed out loud several times while reading this. And there were several heart-warming moments. It did start out with a lot of physics talk. Like A LOT. And while I was a science nerd in school, physics was my worst subject. But it was overall easy to follow and it chilled out pretty quickly. The characters were great. Serena (or Ducky) is the primary POV, and she’s hilarious. I really enjoyed Henry too.

There’s some instalove in this story, which is far from my favorite trope. However, I think it worked really well here. Without giving too much away, Serena is extremely avoidant of love to focus on her career, leading Henry to not be her biggest fan despite their instant connection. But I loved how, while being in one another’s body, they learn so much about each other. It was giving literal “put yourself in someone else’s shoes.” They begin to understand each other on such a visceral level,

Part of me wishes I would have listened to this on audio because I think listening to the accent switch would have been hilarious hahah.

Overall, this was an adorable opposites-attract romcom, and I highly recommend it!

Thank you to Netgalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC for the eARC!

I love this series! It does a perfect job portraying the complexity that is love, but in the funniest, most magical way. I love the characters and their development in this one. I would recommend this to any and everyone.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review

I absolutely adored this book. I could not put it not down, literally had my kindle in my hand while cooking.
It’s rare that I'll love every character in a book, but I loved every single one of these wee fictional people. This is an incredibly beautiful and well written story on true love and how it impacts us as human beings.
If you love Love and have a liking for physics, I recommend reading this book.

I absolutely loved Ghosted so I was so excited to read Switched. Another great premise ( love body swap films) in this series of books, and while I love the author's writing style and her humour which is in abundance when the characters swap bodies, I found this story quite confusing at times once they'd switched!

There is a lot of scientific references too which is completely understandable from the story pov but it was a bit too much for me to understand. I think that if you are scientific minded you will love and appreciate this story. Because of the above points I found it hard to fully connect to the story and ultimately their romance,

so i did like the idea behind this book and now the main characters get to know/understand each other. i also found some moments that made me giggle! i enjoyed it but i think i just wanted more from it.

I haven't read a Sarah Ready book before, but had seen them all over instagram, and also know that some of the other bookstagrammers who are participating in #arcmarch would be reading this one so I decided to give it a shot. The story is about two physicists who fall madly in love but are unable to act on it, and then one day they switch bodies in a freaky friday-esque event. Unfortunately.... I didn't get that far. I DNF'd at 20%. I did keep reading along hoping that the big event would happen and I might get sucked in, but I found myself skimming lots and just couldn't get into it. There were a few problems for me, the first was that there was too much physics stuff. I took an astronomy class in first year of university and gosh, it was hard. I have no idea what she was talking about with half of the stuff and while the graphs and charts and science nerd moments were cute, it wasn't enough to make the more dense science stuff work for me. I also wasn't a huge fan of Serena's character. I need a good connection to the character or a very interesting storyline in order to enjoy a romance novel and with both of those not happening this time, it just wasn't really meant to be. I will take a peek at her other books though because maybe this one just wasn't the right one for me.

4/5 🌟
3/5 🌶 = PG13

Trigger Warning: Parental health crisis

Bonus: Freaky-Friday inspired romcom, Asian representation, women in STEM, enemies to lovers, he falls first.

One minute you're minding your own business, the next you've switched bodies with your boss who you slept with before realizing he was your boss.

This story about Serena and Henry was laugh out loud funny. Anytime an audiobook has me guffawing, I know it's good. I loved the funny banter, a happily ever after, and the body swap twist.

The only thing I would say was that it was at times easy to forget they body swapped during the book, but that didn't affect the story.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC and ALC of Switched.

Having read the first book in the Ghosted series, I was excited to read Switched. This works as a standalone but characters from the first book are side characters in this one. The premise intrigued me because I have never read a Freaky Friday-esque novel, especially a romance. Honestly, it didn't really work for me. I cannot picture falling in love with someone in my body while in their body so it was very challenging for me to enjoy the story. The main character would also break the 4th wall and I personally was not a fan of that either. Overall, the story was a quick, cute, insta-love but the body swap was not my favorite.
