I am a sucker for the cheesy romance novel. It's my dirty little secret. I have the soft squishy heart of a romantic, wrapped in a no-nonsense shell.

So this novel was right up my alley as a piece of escapism. It's the 'body switch until they realise they're in love' subgenre and it has plenty of the usual tropes- having to pretend to be each other, awkward family moments, shock and awe at their new bodies. Overall, they were well-executed.

The narration was well delivered and engaging.

Definitely worth a listen if you're looking for a something predictable but pleasant.

This book has captured my attention and it intrigued me so I've never listened to audiobooks before so guessed why not try with this one. Wow I loved the story so much, listening to the audio was an amazing experience. The story writing was really good and engaging. I had amazing time listening to it!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me an opportunity to listen!

I am in love! ...with Sarah Ready's books! I've read several and the latest one, Switched, is another one I couldn't step away from. It brings to the forefront a supporting character from a recent book: Serena (best friend of Jillian, the main character in Ghosted). But, this book stands alone--you wouldn't have to have read the other book in the series. Like Ghosted, this book brings a bit of the supernatural into a typical romance plot: the characters switch bodies. I'm not typically a fan of such things, but Ready's books make the concept humorous and enjoyable. And, listening to it in audiobook format adds a lot to the concept (as their voices also switch, but not necessarily their accents!) The book was lots of fun to listen to and the supporting characters also add interest (I particularly enjoyed Henry's family members). Toss in a cat and a bunch of corgis, and you have a great story! Loved this book and can't wait to hear the next one!

Thanks to W. W. Crown and NetGalley for an advance review copy of this audiobook. My opinions, however, are my own.

i was desperate for an audiobook to listen while i had stuff to do this weekend and this was perfect for that!! the story was pretty easy to follow, the characters weren’t annoying and had substance to them. this book wasn’t anything crazy, hence the 3 stars, but it was enjoyable for what it was trying to do, and the concept was so fun!!

thank you to netgalley and w.w. crown for the advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first book by Sarah and I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked her writing style and thought it was well written. However the plot was kinda bizarre but I feel that way about all body swaps with love. I really enjoyed the quirkiness of the characters but felt Serena was condescending at times. Overall I enjoyed it but didn’t love it. But I will definitely read more by Sarah!

Another enjoyable read by Sarah Ready. I had no idea until finishing that this was the second in a trilogy however this did not impact on the novel at all and it really read like a stand-a-lone. The novel was narrated well and the narrator kept a good pace and tone throughout.

The premise of two people switching bodies and minds is not particularly unique, however the writing style and the core elements of the story had me drawn to the characters immediately and I was invested in their quest to return to their own bodies from the start. A heartwarming and romantic novel follows Henry and Serena two physicists who once were lovers but following their breif romantic liaison are now little more than colleagues who tolerate each other. One night in the lab changes everything as a mysterious blast sends them into each other's bodies. Their journey takes them out of the country to visit each others families and gain all the perspective and understanding needed to finally switch back.

I do love Sarah Ready books if you want a fun read. This is the second in the Ghosted series and now it's Serena Otaki, which was the best friend of Jillian in the first book. Serena has been living in Geneva, Switzerland and working hard, but doesn't get attached to any man. Serena meets Henry and all of a sudden they switch bodies, but how can they make it back and how will this work for two totally different people.

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance copy!

This was overall an entertaining and cute read, but I have to say, the plot kind of made me uncomfy. It gave Freaky Friday vibes but with a male/female couple. I think it would have been less weird if the characters didn’t fall in love and make out and stuff basically with themselves (because they had switched bodies).

I thought the science part of it was cute and quirky, and there were some funny parts in there as well. I didn’t love the ending, but overall enjoyed listening to this book!

Thank you so much to Sarah Ready, W.W. Crown, and Netgalley for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion!

I mostly enjoyed this book and the story. I’ve read books with this concept of people switching bodies but not done like this before and it was very good. The main character Serena was interesting and quite often rambled on about her life. Sometimes it went on for too long and I wanted something else to happen. The story was done very well. I liked the narration and how when they switched it was a girl doing a slightly rubbish British men’s accent. Which I kinda liked. This is basically a rivals to lovers story in a way but done differently to books I’ve read with that trope. Overall I liked this book and it was a nice change to my normal reading.

Sarah delivers again. I loved Ghosted, and Jillian’s best friend, Serena’s story is just is good.

Serena loves Physics, Star Trek and her cat. She lives a simple life she enjoys. She avoids attachments because of what she witnessed as a child.

Henry loves Physics and his family & friends. His goal is to have a wife and family of his own.

Nothing like a hook up for Serena gone wrong, when she realizes her mind blowing one night stand turns out to be her new boss.
After an awkward year, the unthinkable happens and now the two masters in physics have to figure out how to reverse the impossible.

Life & love never go how we plan.

The banter and chemistry FLY in this book 10/10 recommend.

*3.75 stars*

Oh gosh, I feel so many different things about this one. First off, it's super cute and definitely made me so happy. The meet cute at the beginning was adorable! But I'm not a huge fan of a one night stand type beginning especially when it turns intalove BUT yet our main character Serena tried to fight it.

I think I just felt a little conflicted on how I felt overall. The whole Freaky Friday, switching bodies wasn't my fav but yet it made the story extra unique and cute. I think the whole thought of it though was a little over the top. But I loved each of the characters quirkiness. I was a little frustrated with Serena/Ducky at times because she SO against falling in love (but I guess I get her reasons.) However, our main gentleman, Henry, was such a sweet nerd! I adored him and loved how he was so into her.

Overall, this is a super cute, unique, quirky story! It just had a couple things that made me not quite love it as much as I hoped but I still enjoyed it alot. The audio was fantastic! If you're looking for something fun, light hearted and different to read tho this would be a good one!

Have you ever wondered what Freaky Friday would look like if the body swappers were actually love interests? I know I sure haven’t but when I saw that was the premise of the second book in the Ghosted series by Sarah Ready, I was certainly intrigued!

This book was cute and a lot shorter than book one which I think better suited the story! I really enjoyed the premise and the lighthearted nature of this romantic comedy, but felt like we didn’t really get a lot of depth from either main character. Because of this, I didn’t feel overly invested.

Still a fun and quick read, even if it’s a bit on the silly side. If you’re a fan of enemies to lovers workplace romances or fake dating tropes, this book is worth checking out! While the narrators did a phenomenal job, I would recommend reading this with your eyes if you’re able. With all the body swapping I got a little confused as to who was actually who via the audio!

I loved this! I found this book hilarious from the first page. It was something different and interesting and I enjoyed it immensely. Serena and Henry had great chemistry and I adored getting to know them both through each other. The story was a real page turner and I was hooked all the way through. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I'd highly recommend the audio I love Kelseys narration and really enjoyed hearing James do his chapters.

This was cute! I definitely enjoyed Ghosted more than this one but it was still very cute.

I didn't enjoy how opposed to relationships Serena was. None of her reasons were actually realistic (to me) and I didn't like how it took until she was LITERALLY ON HER DEATH BED to finally decide to take a chance on love.

I read the ebook and listened to the audiobook and the male narrator was WAY TOO OLD. Idk what they were thinking but that dude definitely already has 3 grown kids and a gaggle of grandkids somewhere off in the countryside

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for a review

Just finished listening to the audiobook of “Switched” by Sarah Ready and I am blown away! 🎉🎧 The narrators did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and keeping me engaged throughout the story. 🌟💫


The storyline is filled with sparks, particles colliding, and a universe coming to a halt, creating a captivating and unique narrative. The characters’ contrasting personalities and unexpected circumstances make for an entertaining and heartfelt read.

If you’re looking for a story that combines science, love, and a touch of magic, “Switched” is a must-read! 💖✨

Henry and Serena! Gah.

It's like if Freaky Friday involved a one night stand, boss/employee dynamic and then magic.

I adored the story and Kelsey did an outstanding job with the narration!

This book was the cutest paranormal romcom ever. I loved the relationship between Serena and Henry and was rooting for them the whole time even when Serena was being a bit stubborn. I felt like they were deeply relatable characters. I understood Serena’s fear to love someone, how she might lose a part of herself in the process. A part of the book that I loved was the physics. As a woman in stem, we aren’t represented nearly enough in books. It is important to represent women in stem so that we feel included and to encourage more women to join. My only negative comment would be that at times the book dragged a bit and I feel some parts were unnecessary. Overall I loved this book and would recommend to any romance reader.

Thank you NetGalley for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

I binged the first book in this series Ghosted in order to read this ARC and give an honest review. I enjoyed Ghosted and I really enjoyed this second book as well. It was a romantic twist on the Freaky Friday concept. It was a beautiful, charming, magical, hilarious and heartwarming paranormal rom-com that was such a fast and cute read.

This book follows Serena who loves physics, Star Trek and her cat, Captain Purrk. She enjoys her single life and having an attachment to a man isnt in her cards. That is until she meets Henry and they have one amazing night. Turns out they work together and after an electrical storm causes an unexpected "Freaky Friday"event at the particle collider and suddenly they've switched!! Serena is in Henry's body. Henry is in Serena's body. Now they have to pretend to be each other and stick together while trying to figure out how to switch back. Will they even be able to switch back?

The banter, tension, chemistry and hilarious moments between them was super fun to read.

Switched by Sarah Ready
Narrated by Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster

Rating:
4 ✨ (rounded up from 3.5)

Thank you so much #Netgalley for the ALC (advanced listener copy) of the audiobook! This was my first audio arc and it was so much fun.

This is like an insta-love story with a slight paranormal/magical twist a la Freaky Friday between two physicists. This is also what I feel like A.H. wishes her stem novellas were like? That's another thought process for another day.

*Please note: for the audiobook, there are verbal descriptions of diagrams or footnotes, and other things I imagine are laid out visually in the print or e-formats of the book! It was a little hard to follow sometimes, but not really a bother - but I am interested to see them visually in the future.

Henry and Ducky meet in a pub in Geneva, where she lives and works, and he's staying in a hotel. They have a pretty instant connection and hit it off. Ducky gets stuck to the bar bench (oops wet lacquer) and he holds his coat up while she shimmies out of her pants, and then wraps her up in his coat to head off to explore Geneva. Well, turns out that means going back to Henry's hotel room and getting busy *fade to black/no explicit details on page* *BUT WHAT DOES HE DO WITH HIS TONGUE? I don't think we'll ever know*

They feel this intense connection and Henry admits so, and Ducky freaks!! She has this fear of losing herself to a man, and feels like she can only have one great love in her life - and she chooses her work. She doesn't think she can love a person and still keep herself HERSELF and also keep her career. She excuses herself to the restroom to panic, and while there she reads some work emails to calm down (can't relate) and reads about her new boss starting soon... her new boss who is on the other side of the wall.... Henry. Ducky makes an excuse and bounces pretty quick, with a phone number exchange and loose promise to meet up the next day.

Ducky is still panicking when the next day rolls around and enlists the bartender/bar owner to pretend to be her date/boyfriend? in front of Henry to scare him off. It's a hilarious disaster. But it still results in Ducky (LYING ABOUT HER FEELINGS) to Henry and saying it was just fun! one time! so long! Henry is unsurprisingly hurt like a little kicked puppy. He "never does this" and again admits how he's basically falling for her and after a few more kicks, seems to accept his fate.

Well, well, well. Ducky turns out to be Serena (which is why Henry never caught on about them working together before his first day) and while we don't get any awkward as-it-happens first day of work together narratives, it is reflected on later in the story, after a time jump. Ducky is Serena's middle name, and only her family calls her that - which makes you wonder why she introduces herself that way off the bat to Henry...

Anyway. Lots of hate and frustrated banter and general work enemy antics between the two of them, until some clumsiness clashes with some storming outside and science stuff happening inside, and BOOM - the world swirls and separates and then they wake up in each others bodies the next morning.

So many hijinks ensue while they find their way to each other, and then especially as they find their way together, to get back to themselves. Lots of sweet moments, revelations, recollections, again- hilarious hijinks, family ups and downs, navigating the world as not yourself, and finding the meaning of it all. This book is both funnier, and more touching than I expected.

Again, the narration by Kelsey Navarro Foster is really great. Going in I knew there were two narrators listed for the audiobook - but majority of the book is narrated by one person. Let me tell you, when the narrators finally did switch, it kind of BROKE me emotionally. Whew phew🥺🥺 ( Don't worry y'all - we do get our HEA after some turmoil)

Some topics that I really enjoyed that were covered during the swap: boners, boobs, periods, height differences, family dynamics, boundaries.
Some that I wish had been covered: why do their voices stay their own?! why couldn't it just be that they hear each other in their own voices/accents still, but outsiders would hear the body's voice? honestly I did get confused at one point because when Ducky wakes up at Henry, she's alarmed by the deep voice? but then she's still American? Wait I think I just sorted my confusion. Their VOICE is the body's but the ACCENT is the souls. Okay, still wish it carried so they didn't have to try and mimic each other, but I get it now lol. Sometimes you just gotta write it out.
and tbh I wish they hooked up while they were each other LOL.
