I loved how the narrators brought Serena and Henry’s story to life! It was so fun listening to the building chemistry especially after the fun switch!
Another fantastic instalment from Sarah Ready - I love each book in this series as much as the last!
This was surprisingly good! Freaky Friday but with a sciencey romance twist. It gave me Ali Hazlewood vibes and satisfied my need for a light rom com that didn’t take itself too seriously.
Review to come, I accidentally got this one and didn’t download before archive. Will read and update
Why are there not more people talking about Sarah Ready and her books! Switched is the second I have ready by this author and both times I was instantly drawn in why the fun storyline, likeable characters and great writing. Switched is a fun semi paranormal/fantasy type of romance and a premise that had me questioning how it would work. Freaky Friday but its between our two love interests? How? It shouldn’t work as seamlessly as it does, but it does. I was never confused as to which character was who and I LOVED how Serena and Henry were able to get to know one and other by literally seeing through the others eyes and understanding each other on a cellular level.
This story was so well done and flowed beautifully. Switched had be laughing out loud, gasping in surprise and full on fan girling over the story. I highly recommend this one, low on angst but high on the rom com aspect. I love how enjoyable Switched was, I truly did not want to put it down! I will continue to reach for this author’s work, because so far I have not been disappointed.

This was another fun magical (?) rom com. I thought the concept was super interesting: a Freaky Friday but with a romantic interest. The parts where they lost me a little were breaking the fourth wall (just not something I enjoy), the weirder experience of swapping bodies with someone of the opposite sex, and the seemingly immediate knowledge of love during a first meeting hookup. It should be a red flag if a guy you meet in a bar tells you you’re “the one” with sincerity - but I do understand it’s not meant to be realistic. I I otherwise enjoyed the cast of characters and their journeys.
First, I love Kelsey Navarro as a narrator! The first time I heard her narration was Sarah Ready's French Holiday. I laughed so much listening to that book, that when I saw this author/narrator combination again, I immediately clicked request.
I did not read/listen to Ghosted, but feel Switched can be listened as a stand alone book.
I enjoyed both the story and the stellar narration.
I'll be adding more Sarah Ready books to my TBR.
Having already read the eBook, I decided to dive into the audiobook version as well. While the narrators were decent, I found them to be just okay.

This book was a really fun read. The romance was cute and I loved the concept of a body swap romance. It was great to get a dual POV and understand the characters thoughts throughout the process.
It had a really great ending and tied everything off well.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and am really glad I listened to it.
What a great book. The audiobook was just what I needed to get through those crazy car line times. It had just the touch of magic and spice that I needed and the book moved quickly. It was my first read by Sarah Ready and it definitely won't be my last. I think they chose the perfect match for the narration to keep me intrigued. A great continuation of the series and I cant wait to read more of the series and see where it leads.
This book is like Freaky Friday meets romance! The concept is really fun and Sarah Ready creates great character. The narrators were excellent and I was engaged through the entire story.
Another great story by Sarah Ready! Switched is the second book in the Ghosted series, as main characters Serena and Henry have a Freaky Friday moment and switch bodies.
It was a fun read and I loved the audio format! Narrated by Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster
*many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the gifted copy.
I thought this was an interesting concept for a book and I think it worked quite nicely. An enjoyable read/listen for sure.
This is a late feedback on Netgalley from me for this! This was my first Sarah Ready book and for sure wasn't my last. This story hooked me into her writing style and I know own almost all her books 🤣❤️ this story was so good and very funny at times. Got Freaky Friday Vibes plus some Ali Hazelwood STEM!
I have to say that I am not a fan of the instalove trope.
Still, even if they fall in love at first sight, it takes a while until they finally decide they should be together.
There are some funny moments, a lot of physics information that I did not understand and magic (switching bodies).
The narators did a good job.
Thank you Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved the first book in this series, with this being the second. Such a fun romcom for the summer months and mix it with Freaky Friday and this is the outcome. Look forward to more from this series.
3.5 stars
Switched is the second book in the Ghosted series, but it can be read as a standalone.
It took me a while to get into this book. I guess I didn’t really like the characters. But then…the switch happened! The main characters — Serena and Henry — switch bodies. And it was actually pretty funny seeing Serena’s reactions in Henry’s body.
Overall, this was a cute and fun read. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first book, but it wasn’t bad.
Audio:
Narrators: Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster
Narration style: Dual
The audiobook was great. Kelsey always does a fantastic job portraying emotions. My only gripe is that James only narrated one chapter. I was expecting more of his narration, since he was listed as a narrator.
Don't worry, we have Ali Hazelwood at home. Ali Hazelwood at home:
The way that this read... turned into some weird body horror instead of romance. Anything that was supposed to be quirky or cute or funny just annoyed me. The tangents during actually interesting parts of the story made this worse for me.
This was my first Audio book from the author and I definitely loved listening to it whole heartedly!! The way Henry was described in this book was totally different to how he gradually changed into the man towards the end of the book!! It was like they were meant to be from the very beginning but due to the stubborn fierceness shared between both Henry and Serena, it had come to a unexpected event of switching places!! But then they both understand their lives from living it from each other's shoes literally!! It was whether funny at times when Serena was trying to protect Henry's image when being switched!!
I never listened to it because my NetGalley app wasn't working properly. So I had to uninstall it and then all but two of my audio books were gone.
