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.

The book wasn't bad. It was a bit of a slow read at first, but once the middle hit it was like it sped waaaaay up. At times I feel like it was a bit rushed in places, but maybe that's just me. Would I recommend it? Yes, it was a good nerdy read. So I give this book a 4 star rating.

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.

I definitely loved the body switch twist that makes this unique from most other rom com type books. I also appreciate that the characters met almost immediately as I hate when it takes like 5 chapters to met the love interest. Both of the characters were likable but I really wish it was more dual pov rather than just 1 chapter. I also feel like the science-y jargon went a little over my head but overall I enjoyed this quirky and pretty face paced book!

This was a DNF for me simply because the author's writing does not work for me - it's overly detailed for what seems to be no other reason than lengthening out the story. In this book, the FMC was speaking directly to the reader with footnotes and graphs - not my cup of tea. I do appreciate that Ready's stories are unique, but I think her writing style makes it hard for more to appreciate them.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing the arc!

Switched was a delightful twist on. a romance and had several funny moments at the start when the main characters find themselves in each other's body. Serena believes she can only ever love science because falling in love means giving up your identity and self to the other. She's never going to do that - then she meets Henry. He's her new boss and they've just had a supposed one night stand - until he says he loves her. The two main characters are physicists that work at CERN so there are a lot of references to science. Henry is the nerdy type and Serena is the (unfortunately too typical) sloppy and slightly scatter-brained type.
The prose is good, lots of description that's very well done. My only complaints are the long existential discussions on what love is and that the ending went on for a full chapter longer than necessary. Maybe all that was leading to a follow-up book but I didn't care about it.

Even before starting this book I knew I would have liked it since I am a 2000 baby and absolutely loved It´s a boy Girl Thing.
If you, like me, were a fan of thet little gem than Switched it´s definitely for you.

It is a laugh out loud book, very easy and happy going with a super nice approach to the switching body concept.
I loved that even if the main character switched their bodies were craving what they were used to. I think it was a super nice and distinctive touch.

The audiobook was very well produced and the voice actress did an amazing job with the accents. I was laughing out loud when Serena was trying to do the brithish accent. Chef kiss.

Also Henry was so sweet. I love a well written cinnamon roll.

I started reading this and thought I had missed something. I then realised there is a previous book that introduces some of the characters even though the book alone can be enjoyed without reading the previous one. After that I was able to relax into the book and although it has a common story line to others I have read before I did enjoy the fact that the main characters had substance, they were educated, they had common interests in science which I thought gave the story another level. I really enjoyed it and will read the others written by this author

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc. This was delightful. You can tell Sarah Ready had fun writing this. Some parts were a bit ridiculous, but it was fun. I hate insta love but it actually worked well here. I mostly listened the audio and the narrator did a fantastic job.
This could definitely be read as a standalone, though you'd miss the fun of Zelda's cameo. This is perfect for someone looking for a lighthearted rom com with minimal second hand embarrassment (aka the bane of existence).

4.5 rounded to 5 ⭐️ on Goodreads and retailer websites. Switched is the second book in the Ghosted series by Sarah Ready. In Ghosted, a young woman found the ghost of a man in her new apartment and the two fell in love. Switched is about that woman’s best friend, Serena Otaki, a free-spirited California girl who worked at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva Switzerland. She loved physics, coffee, Star Trek, her cat, and her own brand of disorganized chaos. She was happily unattached and planned to stay that way. Henry Joules was a buttoned up Brit who was about to start a new job as Serena’s new supervisor. He loved physics, piping hot tea, his family, red meat, dogs, and obsessively cleaning his immaculate apartment. He was looking forward to settling down with the woman of his dreams. Right before Henry started his job, the two met and came together for a magical night and love at first sight, from which Serena fled, purposely sabotaging any potential for a relationship. They were too different to be compatible, and love was not in their future. Then one night there was an electrical event at the particle collider and when they woke up, Serena was in Henry’s body and Henry was in Serena’s. They had two weeks vacation during which they needed to find a way to switch back while traveling across the world together visiting each other’s families, always in each other’s company. Suddenly life and love had become very complicated indeed.

Just as I loved Ghosted, Switched was a hit for me. The differences between Serena and Henry’s personalities were significant and when contrasted against the inclinations of the bodies they were inhabiting, the outcome was comedy gold. I loved how the author used the characters’ experiences in each other’s shoes to create the understanding and acceptance which was necessary to take two very different individuals and fuse them into a believable couple. I adored Henry and Serena, two very likable characters who truly fit together despite their apparent incompatibility. I laughed so hard I cried a number of times while reading this story. The audiobook was wonderful and the narrators were absolutely perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend this paranormal, one night stand, enemies to lovers, opposites attract love story to readers who love romantic comedy. I am voluntarily writing this honest review after reading/listening to an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and W.W. Crown, an imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing, LLC.

I liked this book, I finished it super quickly. It was a great book to just sit and read and pass the time, it didn’t make me use too much effort to think about and focus on what was going on. It was a cute book but for me it was pretty forgettable.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% my own.

Every time I read a Sarah Ready book I am reminded of how much I love her writing style. The books draws me in immediately and I find myself binging them. Sarah Ready is a master at taking a romcom concept and making it unique and gripping.

Switched is the second book in the Ghosted series and I was glad to see characters from the first book pop up. I can’t wait to read the third book!

This was such a fun read with great characters and a capturing plot. I didn’t enjoy the British stereotyping and there were a few plot holes regarding the main characters quirks following the switching of the bodies, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and encourage others to pick it up!

Very well written but not really my cup of tea! You’ll enjoy this if you like the movie Freaky Friday but just as a romance version, science, and weird talk about switching bodies. It didn’t keep my attention but Sarah Ready writes unique stories!

Thank you Netgalley and W.W. Crown an Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC, for providing me with an ARC of this book. This does not alter my opinions/rating of this book.
I was interested in this book so much that i read 50 pages without noticing it. This is such a cute romcom between two physicists who could not be more opposite than each other falling for each other. Callie has a carefree no-strings attached personality while Henry is the epitome of the family man willing to settle down. The author's writing style is very intriguing and easy to read. I found myself growing attached to characters in this book as the story continued. Even knowing that they would be switching bodies i could never expect what is going to happen next. A 5-star read for me is a book that gives me a physical reaction to the book. Such as feeling giddy, excited, gasping etc. This book did exactly that. This is such a cute rom com that will keep you hooked from the very beginning. I could not recommend this book enough.

Serena only has room for one love of her life. The stars. When Henry comes along, he looks like a good time. A fling to pass the time. However, sometimes our plans change. Serena has feelings for Henry. More than she wants to admit and he feels the same. Unfortunately, Henry is her boss and she shuts him down. But when they are switched into each other's bodies, they get a view they didn't bargain for. With family commitments on both sides coming up, they learn more about each other than they imagined.

I thought this was a cute cozy science romance. One of my favorite new genres. I thought that the characters were very likeable and fun. I'm not sure that I'm interested in the rest of the series, but I would look into them. The feelings confession overkill was a bit much for me. But I loved the characters and wanted to see how things turned out enough that I wasn't too put off by all the squishy lovey-dovey stuff.

Serena Otaki, a physicist at CERN in Geneva, has no interest in love or relationships. She doesn't want to lose herself by being with someone else. Then she meets Henry Joule who saves her after she gets herself varnished to a seat in a pub. Sparks fly and its love at first sight, but Serena is adamant she can not have a relationship at all, and she's just discovered he's her new boss. Fast forward a year of working together, they're both still pretending they don't have feelings for each other. Unfortunately, in a twist of fate, they both get stuck at work during a storm and switch bodies. Now, they have to navigate life as each other and figure out how to switch back quickly before it becomes too late.

I was invested in Serena and Henry's relationship from the very beginning. I love how Sarah Ready writes romance as this just felt so cosy and lovely. I loved seeing how Serena slowly came to the realisation that being in a relationship doesn't always mean you're going to lose yourself, and I loved seeing that Henry never gave up on his love for Serena. I also like how there was absolutely no miscommunication in this. Sarah Ready is definitely becoming one of my favourite romance authors.
