This is not my usual read, but I really enjoyed it. The science was a fun extra character. The narrator was really good and never took me out of the story, you do not need to have read the first book in the series; I had not. My friend read it and agreed it was not necessary. Very fun!

This book is definitely something that I have not read before. The switching of genders threw me off a bit and the talk of their new body parts. I loved the speech at his brothers wedding and how they came together as a couple. The story line was cute, I did end up enjoying it but took a bit to fully get into, I would recommend just know that you need to be patient in the beginning.

so i gave 4 stars to this book/audiobook because this is a fucking rollercoaster, i laughed, i cried, i was confused... i was everything.
i loved the science references and when they switch i was addicted and i just couldn't stop listening. i was fascinated all the time.

This book was so much fun! I love nerdy Rom-Coms that have a heartfelt plot. I instantly feel in love with both characters and the journey they went on together. This was book had me laughing and crying and feeling all the feels!

Switched is a super fun rom-com that I think could be a 5 star rating if I had read the physical copy vs. listening to the audio. Our main character, Serena, is a science nerd through and through. She adds character to the story right off the bat by doing things like breaking the fourth wall to talk to the "other dimension", adding footnotes to her inner thoughts, and making graphs and charts to better explain her feelings. I felt like I missed out on a lot of fun visuals with the audio book and during the more science heavy dialogue I found myself spacing out. The narrator for the audiobook did an excellent job with all the accents in the story though, and that alone makes this still worth a listen! Between just Serena and Henry there are 6 different voices the narrator has to preform, depending on the scenario they are in. The female narrator does such a good job in fact, that I was really thrown off during the one chapter read in Henry's POV by a male narrator. The Henry voice actor sounds like a very elderly British man. His voice is so much deeper and his lines are delivered in a much slower pace than the female actor's' portrayal of Henry that it sort of gave me the ick. Especially considering that Henry is an adult virgin, the discovery of this "true" voice is giving 50 year old virgin instead of a cheeky 30.

I went back and forth listening to the audio and reading depending on where I was. Kelsey Navarro Foster was a fantastic narrator. She pulled me into the book so easily and was very entertaining. James Anderson Foster.. wow I wish he narrated so much more in this book. I highly recommend this book along with the physical/digital copy. I need to find more from the narrators and the author!

This was a perfect 2nd book for the Ghosted series. I was so excited to continue the series and it didn’t disappoint. I received this as an ARC copy from NetGalley and first read the first book of the series, Ghosted. This can be read as a standalone, but I am happy I went back to read it in order.

Serena Otaki is a nerdy loving physicist working for CERNA in Geneva. She meets Henry randomly in a bar and they were perfect for each other. Serena’s insecurities about love and marriage cause problems especially when she isn’t honest with what was happening. An electrical storm happens while they are working together and BOOM, they have switched bodies.

Watching them slowly understand memories was adorable. With just seeing Serena’s perspective it made me feel bad for her because of all the doubts and worries she casts while in Henry’s body. I did think it was a bit weird they continued to grow closer while in each other’s bodies, but I enjoyed the thoroughness Sarah went through with her writing.

I am excited to continue the series and am ready to continue reading Sarah’s books outside of this series.

OH MY GOSH!!! I actually loved this audiobook, but was not expecting to after the first few chapters. Book starts off a little slow, but once you hit THE part, it gets so good. I thought I was going to be able to predict the ending, but it honestly took me by surprise. It is definitely a slow burn, but is not too painful. Would recommend to others!

This is technically the second book in a series, but you don't actually have to read the first book to enjoy this one. And I did enjoy this one! It was a unique take on two people really going through it to understand one another. In this case, it's switching bodies and going through experiences together while switched. It was a really cure story, although I did zone out a bit during the more technical scientific talk.

My opinion: Would Recommend
Level: High 4.5/5⭐️

Serena is a cat loving, physics nerd California native. She’s working on the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva and only wants to focus on physics. Nothing else. She meets Henry, an uptight physics loving Brit…who is also working with the Large Hadron Collider. They say opposites attract, but not with these two. There’s no way. An electrical storm and physics collide one night, causing Serena and Henry to switch bodies. What will it take to switch back?

This is like Love Hypothesis and Freaky Friday combined. It was a cute fun audiobook! Thanks Net Galley, W.W. Crown and Imprint of Swift and Lewis Publishing for the ARC! Pub date 2/20/24

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

I absolutely loved this!! Such great characters and a great storyline.

My full review is to follow in a few days.....

This book is "Freaky Friday" but sciencey and romantic. I listened to the audiobook in one sitting, it was so good! I really enjoyed how the main characters got to know each other through their experience in the book. Having them see dreams of the other person was such a great addition to this trope. Highly recommend this book!

Fun enemies to lovers with a body swap twist!

Serena Otaki loves her job smashing atoms at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. She has committed her life to her career and will not let a relationship with a man pull her away from that love. One-night stands are ok and she spends a highly enjoyable evening with a man named Henry. Regrettably, Henry Joule has just started a job at CERN and is Serena’s supervisor and has strong feelings for her after their night together. They keep their distance until one stormy night working together strange things happen and they wake up the next morning in each other’s bodies. They are now forced to spend time together to try and repair the switch and to convince their families everything is fine until they do.

The lovers body swap was very enjoyable and added some interesting things to think about – how would you feel to kiss yourself? Sarah Ready handled all these things very well with great dialogue and thoughtful commentary on the impact our parents’ relationships have on our own. Do not let the science setting discourage you, there were many words I did not understand, but it did not impact the storyline. This was my first book by Sarah Ready, but I will definitely read more as they are my current favorite sub-genre, Romance with a bit of magic. Highly recommend to romance readers.

My ratings:
Overall: 4
Spice: 2.5 – almost closed door with some references
Narration: 4

Audio format 🎧. Take a STEM Rom Com and cross it with the plot of Freaky Friday and you have yourself a copy of Switch by Sarah Ready.

What did I like about this book?
1. Several laugh out loud moments
2. Great chemistry and banter btwn the two main characters
3. Loved the use of “footnotes” throughout the book
4. Loved the setting (Geneva Switzerland and CERN)
5 Major science geek vibes.

Now to the not so good…..
1. In audio format it got confusing who was speaking after the two main characters switched bodies. This wasn’t a huge deal but I don’t think they consistently used the same voicing or if they did it was hard to follow
2. I felt this book was longer than it need to be. It got a little draggy in the middle and lost some momentum
3. Overall the ending was weak and parts of it didn’t fit the vibe of the rest of the book

Overall I did enjoy this book but it just slightly above average. I gove this a 3.5/5

Thank you to Net Galley for an ARC copy of this audiobook.

A laugh out loud, zany story where our 'couple' inadvertently switch.

When one is a well spoken English gent and the other a Californian gal, you can imagine the shenanigans they get up to trying to keep their dilemma a secret, whilst trying to switch back.

Erections and period pains are just a couple of sources of amusement.

All in all, a light hearted pick me up.

Switched appeals to all the tropes. Enemies to lovers? Check. Wit and charm? Check. Fake dating? Check. Heartwarming family love and personal growth? Check. This book was enjoyable, funny, and well paced. I think it's a BIT heavy on the "science-y" explanations on the front end, but it's fine - I think it's just unnecessary. I listened to the Audio (ARC) and the narrator was excellent. The story revealed things about the characters all at just the right time, and failed to go off on too many tangents. It's a lighthearted, fluffy weekend read, great for a beach read, vacay read, or rainy afternoon.

Thank you so much net galley and Sarah ready for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Oh. My. Gosh.


This story was beautiful and so unique and honestly a new favourite! This is my first ever book by Sarah ready and it’s made me question how have I never heard of this author before?! BECAUSE WE ALL SHOULD HAVE!

Henry is quite honestly my new book boyfriend who I adore with my whole heart. This book gives me “your name” vibes which is my favourite anime film in the entire world so i guess it’s natural that this idea to me is so beautiful and fantastic. Honestly it was executed fantastically and I cannot wait to read more of Sarah’s books.

Ducky has my heart too, the journey we go on with her truly makes you feel so close to her, she goes through so many emotions in order to find herself and quite literally I just fell head over heels with both of the characters as well as their love and passion for one another. I love ducky’s drive for her work, a woman passionate about her work is always to me such a fantastic thing to be represented in books!

Not only did I really enjoy the romance plot I thought this book was hilarious and so funny, I loved the chemistry of Henry and ducky and how they worked together. I just think the entire dynamic was fantastic!

Truly I cannot recommend this book enough! You need to read it, I cannot wait till I can get my hands on a physical copy of this beauty!

2.75 “i got through it - at what cost” stars

༺♥༻ Overview
A romance mixed with a little bit of magic realism and the concept time?? Now that’s an idea! I delved into this book in the form of an audiobook, soo first audiobook of the year and ARC!!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC! This review contains my honest opinion where the words are mine and mine alone!

༺♥༻What to expect
📬One-night stand
📬Opposites attract
📬 Switching bodies
📬Fake Dating = forced proximity
📬A tad bit funny dialogue and amazing narrator

༺♥༻Characters

⚛️Serena Otaki
Serena was indeed a free-spirited character. She loves her job and ofc physics. She doesn’t believe in love because it changes people, ironically they change to the exact replica of their partner, or so she says 😑 In the beginning i didn’t get her perspective at all, like the girl was ADAMANT about her position and kept mentioning it 🫤 but then it was revealed because of her parent’s relationship, and that made her a tad less annoying...
I have to admit, I didn’t like Serena 😭 and the thing is i don’t even remember why 😀 Her character was not at all memorable, it was as if she was written after Henry’s character was solidified. She is the complete opposite to him and that was it 😀

⚛️Henry Joules
Bruh, Henry my man…is a family man yayy. But he was also insta-love with Serena and for me that was an automatic uh no 😭 (i dont like insta-love..) About Henry, he is clean, British, likes tea, and uh also likes physics? That’s it 😀

⚛️Their Relationship
A one-night stand where sparks fly + insta love, im sorry but that’s not for me. But I did like to see their relationship grow. After the body switch (which took foreverrr) Serena and Henry both got to see different sides to each other. Like Henry’s love for his family, Serena’s passion for her career and love for her family. and ofc each other’s love for tea and coffee 👏😀

The weird part in their dynamic was where Serena was like “I only saw Henry when I was looking at myself, i saw his eyes and HIM” i was literally so confused 😭 It’s a book, yes, but I was genuinely like huhh but he’s in your body so isn’t it kind of hard to ignore the fact that u are brushing YOUR HAIR away from YOUR eyes, you are HUGGING yourself and saying “i felt my breast against henry’s chest” (something like that). That was kind of un-comfy 😭 Is it just me??? oh well…

Ngl, the ending was sweet, the confession was also heart-warming so I bumped up a couple of .75 points 🥹 However, every time I thought they were gonna switch i was holding my breath and they….didn't i was like oop 🙊 Playing with my emotions 😭💀

༺♥༻Plot & Writing/Pace

The pace in the beginning was so slow (or its just me) cause istg i thought i already passed 10 chapters before they switched 😭 Long story short, the beginning felt a tad slow and the ending felt rushed 🙂

The concept of switching bodies is interesting and always will be, but the intriguing part was what the author choose to implement. Like Serena and Henry both got to keep their actions but not their likes and dislikes. So it was really funny when they had to switch accents.
THE NARRATOR NAILED IT!!! She was amazing, and switching in between tones and accents was flawless 👑

The physics references had me 💀💀 which did not make the spicy scenes enjoyable, i had to skip them cause i was rolling my eyes 🫤 But using footnotes and the concept of breaking the fourth was interesting!

Overall, not fully a three stars because i don’t remember majority of the book 😭

I loved Switched. The story line was so well written and executed. I liked how we got a good bit of the story from when Serena and Henry were themselves and from when they switched bodies. We were able to really get to know the characters and see how they were alone and together. The narration was amazing. I look forward to book 3 in this series.

I have read/listened to other books by this author and they are great short reads with cute romantic stories. This one was really difficult for me to get into. I felt that some parts were more raunchy than her normal writing, and the story had a different feel to it. I just couldn't get into it like the last book I read from her. The narrator was ok, sometimes I had a hard time following along to her as well. I didn't like some of the reading/voice acting.

I will preface by saying I'm not the target audience for this type of book. Science bores me but I do find it interesting but only in a romanticism type of way. I am also not that into romance novels although I don't hate them and I have picked up and enjoyed a couple now and then. This book has a really good idea but unfortunately I found myself bored. I did like the main character, Duckie, er, Stephanie and I enjoyed her passion and love for science. I related that to my own love of reading. The male love interest was so, so boring, things happened way too fast in the beginning. It was funny and the majority characters were 3D, there just was something about this book that didn't make me fall in love with it. On a re-read sometime down the line I might change my mind though.

I recommend this book for romance fans who want something funny, sweet, scientific, and different!

A hughe thanks to Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review
