OMG I finished this book several days ago, and I still am struggling writing a review because so many thoughts and feelings are facing in my head. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with both an audiobook ARC and a digital ARC of the book.

This rom com story surrounds Serena and Henry, two physicists living and working in Geneva. Besides working together, they are complete opposites - but after an electrical storm, the two swapped bodies. Hilariously awkward, the two try to navigate each other’s personal lives while also trying to switch back.

As an audiobook, it took me a bit to adjust to Serena’s tangents, mostly surrounding physics, but I soon found it not only endearing, but also informative. I was so sad when I finished this audiobook - though I basically listened to it nonstop for two days straight. I would listen it driving to work, to the grocery store, even while doing chores all around my house. I was transfixed and transported to the lives of Serena and Henry. Not only that, I then requested the digital ARC so I could tandem read and look at any images and graphs that the author added.

I am not typically a fan of blonde and cinnamon-bun MMC’s, but how can you not fall in love with Henry Joules? This story had so many layers, intersecting the personal relationships of the main characters with the relationship development between Henry and Ducky. My only wish is that we got more of Henry’s POV in order to experience more of his character development. On that note, Kelsey Navarro Foster did a wonderful job at narrating Serena’s POV (and I’m not just biased because we share the same name), but James Anderson Foster’s voice felt a bit too aged for me to envision him as Henry. Serena’s growth through these experiences is exponential, and I loved the normalization of women in STEM being criticized for balancing romantic relationships and career independence. Usually, sweet reads like this give me a toothache, but this one was a perfect balance of romance, comedy, growth, understanding and hope. I especially appreciated the author’s reference to our “glasses” affecting our word experiences (IYKYK).

It's been a while since a story actually made me cry for the MMC. I picked this one up because I was intrigued by the premise, despite this genre not being something that I generally gravitate towards. And I definitely didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did!

I typically start these reviews off with my thoughts on the FMC. But, in this case, I'm starting with Henry, our MMC. I can't really explain why, but despite his quirks, he is an incredibly relatable character. It doesn't help that he was also so stinkin' cute.

Now, Serena was an interesting and likable FMC. Her hangups were relatively justified, but I'm sure that the only reason that she doesn't make it to the top of my list is because no one in the story lives up to Henry.

Their relationship is fun and ridiculous, and full of ups and downs. Through the course of their... "adventure"... They learn so much about each other, themselves and the people that they love the most.

It's almost as if Serena doesn't deserve Henry's sweetness, but she is fully redeemable simply for the fact that despite all of her protests, she is the only one that takes the time to get to know him and understand him.

3.4 ⭐️

Yeah, so I am obsessed with this series from Sarah Ready. Ghosted was incredible, Switched, also incredible! I will be waiting on the edge of my seat for Fated. Can it drop tomorrow? I am ready for more!

You know that feeling when you are engrossed in a story and simultaneously want to know the ending but also want it to never end and stay in that world forever? Yeah, that sums up Switched. Dare I say, as much as I absolutely adored Ghosted, I may have liked Switched even more? Is that possible? How about I just love them both an extraordinary equal amount and wait with bated breath for Fated. Serena is beautiful, intelligent, and STUBBORN. Love literally falls down on her from the stars and she still tries her hardest to fight it with everything she's got. I mean, Henry is British! As an American, I am in love the minute he opens his mouth. Speaking of, I am dying to know what it is he does with that tongue...

I really enjoyed this entertaining book! Serena meets Henry one night at a bar and sparks fly between them. Before they can take it any further, Serena finds out that Henry is her new boss at CERN, the world’s largest particle collider. They are both high level physicists, and months haven’t forgotten their first meeting.

One night they are both working during a fierce thunderstorm, the power goes out, and they switch bodies. The switch shows them their true feelings towards each other, but they don’t know how to switch back.

I liked the way the romance developed after they switched, the Swiss setting of CERN, and I learned about particle colliders as well! 5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

Serena Otaki loves Physics, her one true love since she was a little girl. She doesn't think that she can have two loves. If she loves a man, she must give up her love for physics. She meets Henry Jules one night and they have a very intense night together. She might even be falling in love. But that can't happen, She won't let it. And worse of all, he feels it too. It turns out that he is her new team leader at work and she stops everything before it can go any farther. Then one night about a year and a half later, they somehow switch bodies. Now they have to figure out how to switch back.

I loved this book. It was amazing. I was laughing at parts, and crying at others. Everything a good romcom should be. There were a few fun twists and turns but that is what makes a book good. I loved how Serena learned so much about herself, even though she was in Henry's body and had to pretend to be him with both his family and hers. They still have some memories from the other person and through them, they both start to really learn and understand each other. Serena understands Henry's passion and Henry understands why Serena is so scared of love. I also really enjoyed the graphs, charts, and footnotes throughout the book. Because after all, what self-respecting scientist doesn't love a good chart?

Uber uber uber cute :D i hadn't heard of Sarah Ready before this but now I know that she's an awesome author, would recommend. thanks for the arc! and cheers

After a swoon-worthy one-night stand and certain love at first sight, Serena learns that Henry is to be her new boss at her dream job as a physicist at CERN and immediately severs their relationship. Fast forward and a rare electric storm at the lab causes Serena and Henry to switch bodies and, in their attempts to switch back, end up having to stick by each others' side and heart.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ maybe a high 3, low 4)
Spice?: 🌶 fairly modest

This book is a STEM nerd's dream. The mystical elements to it were the thing that kept it most interesting. It took me a minute to hit the inflection point with this book but once I did, it was a fun, fast read. I loved Henry's honesty and transparency throughout the book. I loved that Serena was a sex-positive, feminine, bad ass STEM nerd.

The big leap in time a few chapters in was the most jarring thing about the book, less the suspension of disbelief from the body swap. The writing was a bit too flowery for me at times, with excessive space and place descriptors that didn't serve to move the story forward very much.

Read this if you love Ali Hazelwood's STEMinist books, The Seven-Year Slip, or the TV show The Big Bang Theory.

Thanks to Swift & Lewis Publishing and NetGalley for this advanced reader copy!

“Serena, I’d like it very much if we could switch back before next month.”

I did this one as an audiobook. The narrators were excellent, as always.

I didn’t realize this was a STEM themed book, which I don’t usually enjoy but it’s Sarah Ready who I love so I figured I’d stick with it. I know STEM is all the rage these day but it’s just not something I typically enjoy. However, if anyone could get me to STEM dabble it’s Sarah Ready. This one was fun once I got myself used to who was who and in which body 🤣😂😂

I laughed so hard at her description of Henry in the butterfly négligée and when he had to deal with a monthly lady issue 🤣😂

Sarah has a true gift for writing well rounded and well developed characters.

This is an extremely creative book, in the same vein of the first book in the series. A creative plot premise that I don't traditionally read a lot of. While it's the second book of a series - it's definitely a stand alone. I enjoyed that there were brief cameos of the characters in book one, but that would not detract from the story line if this was the first book from the series that the reader was reading.

Read this book if you enjoy:
> Women in STEM characters
> Fantasy/sci-fi story elements
> One bed
> He falls first
> Slow burn

I think the body-switching elements of the story were well crafted - for something that could easily get confusing to follow. The reversed POVs were interesting and mostly flowed well - a few times, I forgot that they'd actually switched bodies. There were parts of the story that went a bit over my head with all of the physics explanations and narrative. I enjoy a good woman in STEM character, but I'm not a physicist - which gave me a little bit of a challenge to follow along with a few plot points. I do think the author did the best they could to break down the concepts and try to make them accessible.

Overall, an enjoyable read - it moved pretty quickly and kept me engaged throughout the majority of the storyline. I was a bit disappointed that the MMC only got one chapter of POV. I was expecting more of a dual POV when I started the book, so that took a little time to adjust to.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the audio to listen to and review!

Thank you NetGalley and the Publisher for an advance copy of Switched by Sarah Ready!

“And by true love I don’t mean the kind where you’re giving yourself up. I mean the kind where you’re fully you”

This was the first book I’ve read of Sarah Ready and after this I am a fan! This feel good, charming story of two scientists who switch bodies made for such a cute read! A love conquers all if you will - and those truly are my favorite. It’s a bit of a slow burn, enemies to lovers and zero spice.

this book gave me the feels. i was drawn by the title of the book and then i was sucked in completely. really liked this and want to find more of her books.

I was so excited to find another book in the same series as Ghosted. It was a great read, but this I one was better. I couldn't put it down, so I read it all I'm one sitting. It was like Freaky Friday, but it was a romance. It was funny and sweet. I am so glad the couple got their HEA, they deserved it.

Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC.

Once again, I loved this book. Before this series I’d never read a Sarah Ready book and I’ve been missing out. These books have made me laugh out loud and tear up and I just love them. Cant recommend them enough.

SENSATIONAL!! Sarah Ready is a must read for me!!

thankyou netgalley for the arc. all opinions are my own!

Took a minute for me to be invested- but once the switch happened, I couldn’t put it down.

This was such an enjoyable read and appreciated the little quirks of both Serena & Henry. It was sweet to see them get to understand the other better whilst they literally walked in eachothers shoes.

"Tea is the most useful beverage ever invented. I realise this now...there are many, many situations in which tea is the correct, only answer"

There were a couple of things that just felt a bit off to me, mainly the Insta love after their first meet (and how important that was to Henry).

“It feels like love, it feels like love, it feels like love”

Loved the addition of the diagrams and footnotes throughout the story. They’re quirky, just like the characters. Be mindful that if you choose the audiobook, although the diagrams are described, you will miss out on the full effect.

His large family is always a dynamic that I enjoy reading about. The hang ups that Serena experiences in relation to love are explored. And was impressed with how this played into the ending.

“I’ll be working under you. I don’t date colleagues. Footnote number 1. Or anyone else. My rule, one and done. Always. Dating is a distraction”

Pick this up if you love a cute romcom and science!

Side note- how pretty this this cover!

Oh my god this book! Selena and Henry, two scientists who live in Geneva Switzerland and work with the Large Hadron , when one day they find themselves in each others bodies, had me laughing, crying and even wanting to pull my hair out at times. I had a hard time getting into this book at the beginning. While there was wit it felt a little dry but that doesn’t last long and before I knew it I was engrossed in their misadventures. Reading along as they try to switch themselves back was a fun ride.

Switched is the second book in the Ghosted series. Sarah Ready's humor and sarcasm is unmatched. I enjoyed the little doodles, diagrams, and charts included in this one. I thought the footnotes were fun and creative. But you also didn't see them unless you clicked on it, so if you're someone who would find that distracting you don't have to worry you can just skip clicking on the number. I haven't read a book by this author that I didn't love and Switched was no different. I liked how the characters from the first book were tied in, but it isn't necessary to read Ghosted before reading this one. Pick this one up for some romance mixed with a lot of humor and fun.

4/5 stars

Switched is an adorable romcom read with a twist of sci-fi, and a dash of STEM. I loved the footnotes and the 4th wall break, it added to the story and made it feel so unique.

Serena and Henry’s meet cute had me laughing out loud and hooked from the beginning. Easy banter between characters is a must for me, and these two certainly didn’t disappoint!

This was my first read from Sarah Ready and I’ll be checking out her other works.

*I received an ARC through Net Galley and this is my unbiased opinion. Thank you for the ARC!*

Switched is a hilarious, sweet story of two physicists who accidentally switch bodies during a Large Hadron Collider incident. They’re total opposites (who’ve always been very attracted), but have to learn to appreciate each other’s perspectives when they’re suddenly living in the other’s body.

I loved watching Serena and Henry grow and learn to empathize with each other in their romantic Freaky Friday situation. The novel puts both main characters in the other’s element in a fun way and forces them to consider other perspectives and directions for growth.

This one is great for fans of Big Bang Theory, insta-love tropes, British men, and a little sprinkle of the supernatural alongside the science.
