I liked the concept of this book but I don't think this story was for me. I think the author did a good job of allowing the characters to capture essence of the body they are in so you get an idea of what the body owner was life but I did not like that for 90% of the book, you did not get Henry’s POV. Overall the story was ok, but I expected more insight on both characters navigating the switch.

I am ambivalent about this book. There were many elements I liked but all some that irked me.

First the narration was done well. Good intonations, emotions, accent switches.
Henry was a doll. I need him, I want him he's amazing. Kind, smart, hunky, likes his family and dogs and a virgin. Top that off with a sweet brit accent. Yum!!
Serena, I could do without. I think she totally missed the point of love and relationships and it took her a long time to learn that her suppositions were not necessarily correct. I mean who throws away someone without even trying.

The premise and pacing of the story was right. There were many laugh out moments too. Overall a good read..

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to try a new author. This book was very smartly written, fun, and offered an enjoyable story. It’s one of those books that I was smiling listening to.

For fans of Ali Hazelwood and Freaky Friday, this book is a cute little enemies(?)-to-lovers (or is it forbidden lovers? insta-attraction?) set in a science lab. It was so entertaining and super cute! So many romance books have become super formulaic and trope-first, but I really liked that this book fleshed out its characters and also had a fresh plot (at least compared to the other romance books I've read!)

I have had the pleasure of reading a few of Sarah Ready’s books now and I am always blown away by how much research she must put into the characters and the attention to detail in the story line. This one was no different, it was a great well thought out story that flowed nicely. I was a little put off with all the science talk at the start, but that quickly trailed off once we got into the main body of the book. Definitely worth a read, recommend!
I had the audio version which was well narrated and easy to follow. Also using different narrators for the male and female roles which always works better.

I have listened to or read several books by Sarah Ready and enjoyed them, The idea for this story was entertaining and I did enjoy it, but I didn't love it, perhaps because the characters just weren't for me, especially Henry. I also got quite confused by who was talking, telling the story after the switch as the voice did not match the body or dit it?

If you enjoy science geek rom-coms and a little magic, like in Jennifer Garner's Family Switch movie, then this story might be perfect for you.

I could not put this book down!! I loved how it explained how women goes through things every month and also the male perspective!! I laughed so hard!! Pick this book up today!! You will not be disappointed!!

"Switched" starts off as an insta-attraction romance and gets down to the nitty gritty within the first few chapters, before either knows that they are destined to work together. This is just a bit jarring since you wouldn't expect it until way later in the book, but doesn't detract from the story, in fact, it leads to us getting a better understanding of both MCs and how they feel about love (opposites attract kind of deal here). As would be expected, the fling doesn't last and the two are antagonistic to each other until an event comes to pass where they have to come to understand each other better. They continue to learn and grow together as the story progresses, giving us some cute moments and others that hold you with suspense. Henry and Serena find themselves in big life moments and working together to get through these moments, all the while realizing just how perfect they are for each other and falling in love (and acknowledging it).

It was a super cute book and was a pretty good story overall. Narrators weren't the best, but wasn't enough of a factor to give up on it, just super slow on normal (1x) speed. Upping the speed definitely helped.

This was cute. It took me a few hours to get into but then it got better. I did not like the narrators though. But that is a personal issue not an issue with the story itself

I didn’t finish this! l just couldn’t get into! I felt like it was all over the place from the beginning and it wasn’t grabbing my attention!

This book had me CACKLING at parts!!!
Also had I woken up in a male body I’d start doing jumping jacks in grey sweats just to watch it bounce!

And that curveball that was thrown in!!!! The way it went from her basically sacrificing herself just so he could live, TO HIM SPEAKING IN CHAPTER 40!!!!


I was absolutely hollering!!! I think for a solid 5 minutes!! And then my mouth hung open for another 5 !!


But I’m so happy everything worked out in the end for them both!!! They deserve it all!!!!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC audiobook.

Personally, I love a Freaky Friday concept and Switched was no exception. I didn’t realise until I’d finished that this is the second instalment in a series, so I will be checking out the previous title.

I massively enjoyed the casual, funny writing style. It made a subject (atom smashing) incredibly easy to understand and go along with.

The narration by Kelsey Navarro Foster was fantastic, I will be searching out more books narrated by her.

Serena and Henry have great chemistry (the insta-love may put some people off), the plot relies on the miscommunication trope a little bit more than I would like, which is why this is 4.5 stars.

Overall, I had a great time listening to Switched! Thank you again to the publisher and NetGalley.

"Switched" by Sarah Ready delivers a delightful blend of Freaky Friday vibes, workplace rivalry, and fake dating tropes that kept me engaged from start to finish. While the heavy focus on technical science terms at the beginning initially lost me, I thoroughly enjoyed the protagonists' journey of navigating their switch and finding a way back. As the second installment in the "Ghosted" series, this audiobook offers an entertaining listen, and I can't wait to dive into book 3.

This was truly one of those books that the author reels you in with their writing style. I received the audiobook format, but the author truly has a way with words. It automatically made me want to go find and devour every book this author has written. The characters are so perfect in their own, so different in personalities and everything. It was wild that they switched bodies, I was like how is this going to work if they're going to date one another but also themselves as it's their own bodies they're dating while they're in the other person's body. It was a crazy concept, but the author did it justice. Super fun, quirky, and interesting. I loved that the FMC was smart and goal driven, not the weak damsel in distress a lot of other authors paint FMCs out to be. Both of the narrators did the main characters justice. A wonderful read all around!

I received this audiobook from NetGalley, W.W. Crown and IBPA to listen/review. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully listening to the audiobook.

Switched was such a fun book!! This was freaky Friday type romance book, which was a first for me! I liked the nerdy/science aspect of it. The main character Serena loves physics and Star Trek as an example of the nerdy aspect. Serena meets the other main character Henry in a hilarious way and they hit it off. Until Serena realizes that Henry will be her new boss. The story from there is a wild ride. They end up having a freaky Friday type event and getting switched into each other bodies. I laughed quite a bit throughout this book! I enjoyed listening and through they did an excellent job narrating the story! I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys rom coms. Thank you to NetGalley, WW Crown and Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing, and the author for allowing me to listen in exchange for a review this audiobook

This was a cute, fun rom-com book! I did the audio of this and enjoyed it. It did take a minute to get into (I think trying to place who was who was tricky for me for some reason) but once I got into it, I enjoyed it!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish this book. The premise is intriguing and, while the writing was quick and energetic, I wasn't able to connect with the characters at all. To be fair, I only made it to Chapter 5, but the amount of "spice" in the book, both the discussion and the act, was too much and way too early considering we just met these people (and they just met each other). Clearly, I'm not the target audience for this book.

As I said before, though, the writing is quick, energic, and quirky, the female lead is smart (even if she does like to talk about it a bit much), and the premise sounds like a lot of fun. However, if the beginning of the book was any indication about the rest of the book, there was no way I was going to enjoy it.

Thanks to W. W. Crown, imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing, and NetGalley for my first ARC!

I was intrigued by this book as someone who would die for freaky friday and rom coms. The story was super light and easy to read, but unfortunately I didn’t find myself having that NEED TO READ feeling, and didn’t feel super attached to either of the characters.

That being said, the storyline was super cute. I loved Serena and Henry meeting each other’s parents, and I always enjoy mentions of STEM and nerdiness in romance!

I think this book had the bones of a great page turner but lacked the amount of character development and relationship building to get me all the way there. The deep dive into Serena’s parents relationship and past was what I was hoping for throughout the book to really connect with the character.

"Switched," the second instalment in Sarah Ready's Ghosted Series, delivers a delightful blend of sci-fi, romance, and comedy that had me hooked from the start. The story revolves around two polar opposite characters, Serina and Henry, whose lives unexpectedly turn after a one-night stand leads to body-switching chaos.

Serina is a free-spirited, fun-loving girl from California. She is a physics enthusiast who loves Star Trek, messy organization, spicy tofu, and, most of all, being unattached. She finds herself entangled with Henry, her opposite in every way. Henry, an organized Britt looking for love, becomes Serina's boss, leading to an intriguing dynamic. The real adventure begins when a storm and an electrical issue result in them waking up in each other's bodies.

I adored " Switched " 's seamless blend of humour and romance, notably the sci-fi rom-com elements that had me laughing out loud throughout the story. Sarah Ready's writing brings the characters to life with banter, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the narrative.
Serina and Henry's journey, from their quirky meeting to the chaos of switching bodies, is a rollercoaster of fun.

The author's ability to create engaging characters and dynamic interactions solidifies her as one of my favourite authors. The banter between the characters is witty and relatable, making it a joy to follow their escapades.

The audiobook narration by Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster enhances the overall experience. While Kelsey predominantly carries the narrative due to the story's focus on Serina's perspective, both narrators bring their A-game to the production. However, I found it peculiar that the male narrator had a limited role in the narration, as having both narrators could have added an extra layer to the storytelling.

This sci-fi rom-com is a must-read (or listen) for those seeking a perfect blend of humour, romance, and unexpected twists. 🌌💕

Thank you to NetGalley, W. W. Crown (an imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing, LLC), and Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Audiobooks for generously providing me with an audiobook version of "Switched" by Sarah Ready in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this audiobook and the narrators Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster. They kept a good pace, had an enjoyable tone and were easy to listen to.So why not a 5 star you ask? The very core of the book was based on the premise of love at first sight. When I hear I love you the day I meet someone (aka immediately after sex) my eye rolls begin and you lose me. However, I persevered and found it to be quite an enjoyable experience.

I really liked the story line and the switching of bodies was different from any I had read before. Having a chance to experience life in another’s body with their cravings is quite unique and gives a different perspective to both the character and the reader. Throw in some family drama and I found myself laughing along with the characters.

Serena is a very career focused scientist who wants to stay single and focus on her first love - physics. Henry, on the other hand, wants to find his one true love! The fire ignites when they meet, but soon Henry’s declaration has Serena running for her life. The love / hate relationship that follows is full of hilarious innuendos and a provides a great platform to reflect from.

I would like to thank NetGalley and W.W. Crown and Imprint of Swift & Lewis Publishing for granting me access to this book for my honest opinion.
