Another smash hit by Sarah Ready. Ghosted was one of my absolute favourite reads of 2023 and now Switched might just be one of my favourites for 2024.

The cosmic soulmatism of it all kept me on the edge of my seat and my eyes riveted to my kindle the entire time. I read this entire book in one sitting, I simply started and then just couldn’t put it down. After spending one incredible night together Serena decides she’s not ready for any sort of relationship and sabotages any romantic connection she had with Henry. However, everything does not go as planned due to an unforeseen occurrence in which they both awaken in each other's bodies.

I laughed out loud multiple times due to all the shenanigans within this story. This was a perfect romantic comedy and I loved the banter, love, and loyalty between Serena and Henry. Serena was strong, sassy and knew what she wanted… before love, something she had never wanted or expected hit her hard. Henry was truly one of the most sweetest, caring and loving mmc I have ever read, he always followed his heart, no matter how much it hurt him in the process.

Everyone need to read this excellent addicting book.

Switched by Sarah Ready

-women in STEM
-body switching (Freaky Friday style)
-forced proximity
-fake dating
-magical realism

I impulsively grabbed this as a Read Now on Netgalley when I read the magical realism synopsis. This romance is like... Big Bang Theory meets Freaky Friday. You have to be willing to suspend reality for a bit, but I truly loved the magical realism aspect of this. This was a really neat concept, and I enjoyed the love story between Serena and Henry. There were some fantastic laugh-out-loud moments as well.

It wasn't perfect but it made me happy while I was reading it, and what more can you really ask for than that?

Serena is a free-spirited Californian who falls in love with Henry an uptight Brit. Sparks fly but it doesn't work because they are
too different. Until one night, they switch bodies and things become complicated.

I love the supernatural element here. I like Freaky Friday plot. Enjoy Henry and Serena's chemisty a lot too. A fun book to read.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Serena is a physicist with no interest in ever falling in love. Henry is a physicist who knows he'll find his true love someday. And when the two meet at a bar one night, it's love at first sight. But then Serena pulls away... and Henry starts a job at the place where Serena works. Over a year later, they're both at work when something strange happens...and they wake up in each other's bodies.

Switched is very fun, and I loved how having the two characters in each other's bodies added to the story--them having flashes of each other's memories, each other's taste buds, etc. was great. I did wonder why they didn't have each other's accents, since, on top of all the things they DID acquire from the other person, accents are partially muscle-based.
Serena falling so hard so fast for Henry did pull me out of the story just a bit, with how much she insisted she had no interest in love (and I'm not a big insta-love person anyway) but it ended up working. I also loved that is was the man wanting them to give it a shot and the woman being afraid of commitment. And I really loved how that particular aspect of the story resolved.
There was also a bit of a tonal shift throughout the book--from more romcommy to feeling more like a straight romance. And I missed the footnotes as we got further into the book (I thought the footnotes were SUCH a fun mechanic for a book about physicists).

Overall this was a very fun read and I'll definitely be reading more by Sarah Ready.
