This book is part of the Ghosted series which I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing for NetGalley last fall. I loved that book and immediately knew I wanted this one so I could be immersed in the world again. This one follows Serena and Henry, two physicists and colleagues who find themselves in a bit of a Freaky Friday situation. They end up having to navigate some pretty serious and heavy situations stuck in each others bodies. The audio was great! Overall, the story was cute!!

As I have said before, I am trying to read as many Sarah Ready books as I can, since I have loved her, Josh and Gemma series. This did not work well for me with the first book in this series, Ghosted, but Switched was a little better. Thank you to NetGalley and W. W. Crown for this gifted copy in exchange for an honest.

Now, this plot has been done over and over again, and some could even say that it has been overdone. But, I enjoyed this one, not as much as I wanted to, but it was still a fun read. There were a few funny parts that made me chuckle, and overall a light, easy, read, or listen. I am probably going to torture myself with the third book when it comes out and I am hoping that it is even better than this one so that I can get back on the Sarah Ready train. I know she has some Josh and Gemma banter left in her.

Freaky meets Friday

Serena met Henry one day and he helped her solve a problem. They had a life changing night together and then parted ways. A year a a bit later he became her coworker. Serena was not into him being there

Then one night while working an electrical moment happened. When they woke the next morning they found that they had switch bodies. A wedding and a family emergency later. They leaned to appreciate each other and show some vulnerability and then there was love.

I listened to this book and would highly recommend this book. Serena leaning to have an English accent and Henry practicing his Californian slang was the very best moment

Thank you #netgalley for this ARC!

This was such a fun read for this romcom-loving girl who is also a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory and Star Trek! I felt all the feels and enjoyed the characters so much right out of the gate.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

I tried to read the ebook and also tried to listen to the audiobook and DNF’ed both mediums.

For the audiobook, I found the narrator extremely annoying and could not tolerate her voice or intonation. It distracted me from the book which made me switch to the ebook.

I read about ~4 chapters of the book and stopped reading. I found the main character annoying and too “quirky”, the constant sex references were cringy and I couldn’t push through to get to the actual plot.

I originally chose the ARC because I was really intrigued by the plot! I think it could’ve been more interesting if it started immediately from the switch and then worked back to their meeting? Otherwise, I just wasn’t very invested.

This is the second book in the series after Ghosted, but could act as a standalone with the background Ready provides. This is my favorite Sarah Ready novel yet. She blends humor, physics, and witty banter in the perfect storm of a book. Serena is boisterous, and unabashedly herself.

Fearful of losing herself in a relationship and determined to be the next great name is physics, she meets a man named Henry, who stands to ruin her plans. Only to switch bodies with him.

As they try to reverse the magic or science responsible for swapping their souls, they learn more about each other and realize that love might be worth it after all. If you like Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood, you’ll like this open door romance novel.

This was super cute!! The narrator was really good and did a nice job with the FMC and the MMC. At first the instalove vibes were a little too instant for me, but then when it cooled down and went into the more enemies to lovers trope I was in! Overall I really enjoyed this one!

4.5 ⭐️

I really loved the story!! This was something new to me and the narration, omg the feel it gave to the story was fabulous!

I think my favourite character out of the two is Ducky. I love her humour and the way she cant keep herself away from relating everything to science. The writing style used is veryyy catch with all the graphs and images and footholds that kept popping around in the story.

The way i related to a lot of the quotes in this book had my heart! And didn’t I already talk about the narration!?? I loveddd the whole audio!

At one point in the end I really thought Henry.. but then the way she was revived 🥹🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨

I look forward to reading more from Sarah Ready and also listening to more of Kelsey Foster!!(i think she is by far my fav narrator)

Absolutely Recommend!!!

I just love Sarah Ready’s writing - I really don’t think she can put a foot wrong! Every time I read something new from her, I’m shocked that her books don’t get more attention on bookstagram, etc. This was an adorable and spicy read. Serena and Henry are strangers, but both feel that love at first sight sensation. They have an intense and amazing night together but Serena realises he’s about to be her new boss and panics - she wasn’t looking for love anyway so she breaks his heart. They work together for over a year as distant colleagues but she pines for him and is unable to move on. A freak incident results in them switching bodies (I know - mental, but it works!) and they are forced to spend all their time together and truly get to know each other.

It’s deliciously inevitable, and I loved reading their romantic tension. Both characters are so very likeable but Henry in particular is just too sweet. My heart hurt for him a fair few times. Their connection is so instant and tangible, yet it just gets better as the story goes on. It’s a funny narrative as well! I love that it’s kind of a sequel to Ghosted, as that was such a beautiful love story and those characters are briefly revisited! Can’t wait to read the next in the series. I love that these books require just the right amount of suspended disbelief.

What to expect:

- love at first sight
- enemies to lovers vibes
- forced proximity
- fake dating
- body swapping comedy
- quite spicy

My first book from Sarah Ready and I am hooked! I’ve always heard good things about her books and thought this was my ideal time to try. To start with I wasn’t sure how this book was going to go but I am so glad that I continued because it was brilliant!

4 stars as this was an audiobook and I felt the narrators voices didn’t suit the character which I found very off putting! Overall a fantastic read and quirky plot!

Your average Rom-com meets freaky Friday, this was such a unique take on a live story. I love how some of the stereotypical gender roles were reversed. This was an entertaining quick read, looking forward to the next Sarah Ready book. One minor note, I did not understand the noodle references at the end…?

If you are a fan of any of these, then this book is 100% for you.
I enjoyed this book a whole lot more than I thought I would. It was funny, and filled to the brim with great plot, and character growth.
You do not at all need to read the first book to enjoy this, its reads perfectly as a stand alone.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to listen and review to this book.

It’s been a while since I started a book I couldn’t finish, and I’m a little bummed I couldn’t finish this one. The main reason why I couldn’t get into this book was because of the female narrator. There were moments were the narrator’s tone and delivery were spot on, but the cringy and annoying way the narrator read the words turned me off rather quickly. There wasn’t a natural flow to her voice. She sounded like she was reading from a book and was awkward about it.

I haven’t read the physical book yet, so the story may be good, but I don’t know that solely based upon the narration.

Imagine Ghost and Freaky Friday had a baby. That's what this book is in the best way possible. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book because the premise seemed a bit strange but as a surprise to no one Sarah Ready did it again! This book follows Serena and Henry who would make a perfect couple together on paper and share a great connection. Only problem is Serena loves physics so much she an't imagine trying to fit a man into her life. While working together a freak accident happens at work and they wake up in a really unfamiliar setting... in each others' bodies. How do they make it back to their own lives without losing themselves in each other.

I love the writing style and the likability of the characters despite the flaws that they posses. The characters are funny yet deep and this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Their families are surroundings put them in crazy circumstances that they have a hard time navigating their way out of but the ride they take you on is worth it. I cannot wait for the next book in this series and I love a STEM loving woman being the main character.

This tells a beautiful story and I recommend it to anyone who loves a sci-fi twist on a romantic comedy. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this story.

4/5⭐
2/5🌶️

Serena & Henry are polar opposites in every way imaginable. So what happens, when one night during a storm, they switch bodies? Chaos, that's what happens.

Consider me a fan of Sarah Ready after reading this book. I haven't read the first book in the series but still enjoyed it. This was certainly a unique experience, I've never anything similar before. There were so many hilarious (and sometimes, awkward) moments. The time jump made it more realistic.

Henry is a gem who must be protected at all costs. He was the perfect book boyfriend. I could understand Serena's aversion to love and it became too constant but she redeemed herself in the end though. I really wanted more of them when they were in their own bodies.

I alternated between the ebook and the audiobook. The narration by Kelsey Navarro Foster was chef's kiss.

Thank you netgalley for the audio ARC & eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Switched
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have to say it started off a little to much of technical attention & dialog. It started off boring for me. About half way it did get alot better. I did enjoy the book. It did make me laugh & smile at times, as I stuck with it. I always finish a book. I'm glad I finish this one. This was my first time with this Author. It's hard when you just put down a Fantastic couldn't put down book. It was a light enjoyable read.
Thank you NetGallery

This was a fun romance with some sci-fi elements mixed in! American Serena and Brit Nick have a unique meet cute in Geneva but- oops -he's her boss! Romance takes a back seat until an accident at CERN forces them to swap bodies. They're not just freaky friday-d into each other, but they experiences and memories of the bodies they live in, which was a little disconcerting for me, but for magical realism fans it might be more welcome. It had a bit of a fated mates vibe for me, which I struggle with as a trope. The pacing was great, but some of the descriptions were a little too detailed and too flowery for my taste at times. I think that's a nod to the magical realism/fantasy elements.
I listened to this and the primary narrator, Kelsey Navarro Foster, did a fantastic job. The secondary narrator, James Foster only appears for a short section and totally took me out of the book. I would have preferred the voice Nick had earlier in the book. The book would have been a 4 star for me, were it not for the second narrator and the superfluous descriptors.
Although this is book 2 in a series, you do not need to read book 1 to enjoy it.

this book was pretty interesting and i've definitely never read anything like it, but i also don't know if i ever want to again. this book gave me major ali hazelwood vibes but i think i've just started associating stem romcoms with her. i honestly usually don't have issues with insta love but this one was just kinda wild to me. i think the whole premise of the book was intriguing but it was so weird that they switched bodies but each one kept memories of the other. it was extra weird when they were being intimate and it was like looking at themselves. the ending..... i literally was so close to throwing my phone across the room.

also the breaking the 4th wall thing was... weird?

I loved Serena and Henry's story. The bar in Geneva was very atmospheric and in fact the entire book was very visual. Switched is one of the best audiobooks of my year. The story and characters are quirky and Sarah Ready always has me hooked with her books. Switched was truly original. I love Star Trek and it was great that it was part of the plot. I think Serena's cat, Captain Purrk, had an original name (a play on words and an homage to Star Trek).

The narrator was brilliant and pulled me further into an already immersive story. T

The audiobook is so fun.

Thanks to Sarah Ready and publisher for my eARC in exchange for my honest abd voluntary review.

5 stars

“Switched” by Sarah Ready is a “freaky Friday Vibes” body switching romance that surprised me and kept my attention the entire time I listened.

Serena and Henry are both interesting characters and while I did not immediately connect with them by the end of the book I really enjoyed them and started to understand their ways, much like Serena and Henry!

Im not a huge fan of insta-love so the beginning of the book was jarring, but once it went on and I realized it isn’t completely instant and more one sided I started to really enjoy it more!

The science references were fun and as someone who is not very academic I didn’t find them overwhelming.

Overall this book was a fun read and if you’re interested in plot with extremely mild spice this is a great book!
