Sarah Ready books are an auto read for me. I love ghosted, and absolutely loved this one as well. I got the arc ebook and the audiobook and switched between the two. Kinda reminded me of Freaky Friday (body switching) and I loved that movie growing up. While both ways are good, definitely recommend the audiobook. I absolutely loved the narrator!

Our main character Serena believes true love is a science. If only it were that easy girl. Black and white, and not messy. Henry is looking for his true love. These two switch bodies and have to figure out how to switch back. Along the way they really get to know each other and the rest is history.. you know a great love story!

I did enjoy this one a little more than "Ghosted" (also by this author) but that's just because I really enjoyed the body swapping premise! I wish there was more magical realism in rom com books. Ashley Poston is another author who does a great job of this!



Thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Ok the Ghosted series is back and still great!!

This time we follow Serena Otaki who doesn’t believe in love, unless that love is particle physics. After an encounter with her co-worker, they find themselves in each others’ bodies and start to realize they understand each other more than they thought.

This book was quirky, funny and had a lot of heart. It was just such a feel good time that I had trouble putting it down! The body switching led to some truly hilarious scenes and thought this was seriously just a good read. Suspend your disbelief and you’ll have a great time.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to listen tot his book in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this romance from Sarah Ready. I love a good story with excellent character development, no love triangles, and no unnecessary drama to add fuel to a situation. This was such a compelling listen and I also enjoyed the narrator for Serena. I found myself not wanting to go to bed to keep listening for the developments in this book.

There is a main current of female independence and not losing your identity to be with your partner and it was so well done and written. The science talk was enjoyable and funny and you fell in love with all the characters introduced. Really well done, and I can’t wait to read more Sarah Ready books.

I was immediately drawn to the female main character due to her love of Star Trek. The main characters were easy to love and the side characters added value to their story. A mix of magic, science, and a great imagination creates a memorable story.

Fun 5/5
Spice 1/5 (there are like two or three spicy-ish scenes, some more spicy some less spicy)

I started this book 20h ago so it is safe to say that I LOVED it. Something about this concept is just so fun. Switching your body with someone else’s body for a little while and experiencing everything the way they would experience it.
I loved that things like getting your period or getting kicked in the balls were part of the switching experience because they are so sex specific.

But there is one thing that I wished was part of the book because it is something many people (I think) wonder about: experiencing sex as the other gender. I would it be a little weird? Yes, but the whole concept of the book is a little weird and I personally thing that it would have made the story more interesting.

Overall a great story and a great narrator (Kelsey Navarro Foster).

I really enjoy Sarah Ready's books. So much so that now I don't even read the synopsis and just immediately hit the request button. This book is the second in the Ghosted series and while you don't have to read the first book, the characters are referenced in the second book however you can also read this as a standalone. 

This book sees Henry and Serena fall for each other, insta love style. When they each wake up in the other's body, they have to try to maneuver their way around different jobs and different families while getting used to their own new body. 

So, this one was just okay for me. There were a few laugh out loud moments however I couldn't really get over how unbelievable it was. Insta love is not my favourite trope either so that probably didn't help. It was still a decent listen however especially with the fantastic narration with both the American/English accents and male/female characters. I will be on the lookout for Sarah's next book - will read whatever she writes!

First Thank you Netgalley for the audio arc. Sarah Ready had done it again. I love the twist that she puts in her Rom-Coms, two CERN doctor have a one night stand and after she denies her feelings for him, they end up in a freaky Friday situation. After having to stick together and going to a family wedding and rushing to be by her mother’s side after having a heart attack, they learn more and more about each other and what it means to be in a relationship and the fear that she had of losing one’s identity once you enter a relationship isn’t what she originally thought, it’s about growing with the other person and making each other better , not become one in the same and losing all self identity. With wonderful self growth, and some breaking of the fourth wall, and a whole lot of love Switched is a cute rom-com.

Thank you to NetGalley and W.W. Crown for this Audiobook Advanced Reader Copy, in exchange for my honest review.

I was lucky enough to have read the first book in this duology last year (also as an ARC) and really enjoyed it. So, when the opportunity to grab this one came up, I jumped on it.

Switched is the story of Serena a physicist living in Geneva, who has put her work first in her life. So much so that she has essentially sworn off love for Physics. Other than the occasional hook-up, Serena is happy in her life. Until she meets Henry in a bar, and her life is turned inside out or at least flipped around. Especially when she learns that he is her new boss.

In a "Freaky Friday" trope, Serena and Henry end up switching bodies. And discovering that sometimes you do need love.

I loved that we had met Serena in the first book (Ghosted) as that MC's best friend. And that you were given an update on the couple from the first book. It was a nice tied up little now moment.

The characters are very likeable, and the supporting characters add to the overall feel of the book. The premise is far-fetched in the best way.

Sarah Ready definitely has my attention as a go to author. Highly recommend this book.
4 Stars.

Ready wrote a fast-paced, shockingly believable, witty story with charm and humor and, of course, a HEA required of the genre.

Switched is compelling from the fourth chapter (hang in there) and the premise sets the stage for a look at some poignant truths usually reserved for award-nominated good literature. There is humor and heart in equal measure, and…science (happy sigh).

Before reading Switched, if someone recommended a body-swap plot? Noooo thank you. Body-swap plot written by Sarah Ready? Yes please! Who knew?

This book is a delight! I got an ARC from NetGalley and this is one of the reasons I love NetGalley - I get to try books that I wouldn’t otherwise select and discover excellent authors to add to my must read list.

Strong 3.5 stars. I love the idea of two scientists dealing with the magic of body swapping. The characters were likeable and had flaws that I was rooting for them to work through. I also legitimately laughed out loud at some of the lines. I would say that one thing that kind of detracted from my enjoyment is that the first 25% of the book was a lot of chaotic internal monologue which slowed down the story. But even though that felt a little bloated, the story was really fun once they swapped bodies.

Also, the female narrator was awesome. Reading for a female character in a male's body and changing her voice depending on whether it was an internal or external voice must have been so confusing to keep straight, but she did great.

Serena & Henry's meet cute was funny when her pants were literally stuck to the booth. She had to wiggle out of them and borrow his jacket since she was leaving the bar sans pants and underroos. They head back to his hotel and get very well acquainted with each other. So acquainted in fact that he instantly falls for her. She feels it too, but since she's career driven and anti-relationship she pushes him away. But it turns out he's her new boss...awkward.

Then we have a time jump to 437 rotations of the earth later. Since they are both physicists it's pretty heavy on science talk, so be prepared for that. They don't seem to get along too well, but are forced into each other's lives when they switch bodies. Of course this is right before Henry's brothers wedding, so Serena has to pretend she is him and then something happens with her family and he has to pretend he's her because who would believe the truth. I'm pretty sure I would not, would you? They each played the opposite quite well. Henry even got to experience having his period 😂

Overall, there were some funny moments, some suspend your belief moments and some good banter.

Series notes:
Fine as a standalone, but Ghosted characters pop in here a couple of times.

Narration notes:
Kelsey, as always, does a fabulous job. She had to do her American accent as well as a male British one and I didn't hate what I was hearing. Although, since we do have a 2nd narrator a duet narration would have really brought this one home. As it was he only narrated one chapter. He does do a good British accent. I just realized these two are married.

This was a fun fast paced book full of romance with some paranormal body swapping and enough turmoil to keep you hooked.

We follow along with scientist/physicist Serena Otaki and colleague Henry Joules. This is an opposites attract, science gone wrong romance. They meet and for Serena love is out of the question. She values her work above all else and refuses to lose herself to love. As for Henry, after meeting Serena, he believes in love at first sight. The night they shared was magical and life altering, but is brushed off as a night of fun by Serena.
Time passes and they are at a pinnacle of disagreement when they wake up in each others bodies. Their worlds collide and the two must pretend to be each other. So they stick together and attend family functions as they figure things out.

I listened to Switched on audiobook, written by Sarah Ready and narrated by Kelsey Navarro Foster and James Anderson Foster. It was an excellent audio, mostly read by Kelsey who did a great job throughout bringing the story to life and keeping it engaging.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for early access to the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This book was adorable! What a unique take on a Freaky Fridayesque situation!. I was intrigued when I read the premise, and I wanted to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. It was really enjoyable to see how each character responded to being in the body of the opposite sex. If only the male protagonist could have experienced being pregnant and being in labor! This was my first book by Sarah Ready and I really enjoyed her style of writing. It was witty, cute, and just a great relaxing read. Would be wonderful on vacation. I will definitely be following this author for more of her books in the future!

It was so cute!

I absolutely loved the switch and how Henry and Serena’s relationship develop from one night to loving each other.

It was super amazing listening to it in audio format. I was laughing and crying! Absolutely would recommend if you want a cute romance story.

Thank you NetGalley and the author for this amazing opportunity!

When I saw this one available on NetGalley, I button mashed so fast trying to request, download, anything. I loved the first book in the series so much that I went into this blind, interested to see how the author and the characters could possibly compare.
They didn't. It was an entirely different story, a different approach, different experiences. And that was the beauty of it. Serena and Henry had different needs, interests, fears and stories- even more so as we walked through them. I loved that Serena spoke directly to the reader, I loved that she was unabashed in her fear of love yet still hopeful.
|loved Henry's quiet, fierce romanticism.
I freaking loved this story. I love this author. 100% read this.

This book is so good! I could not put it down!
Switched is a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading Ghosted first.
Switched is a paranormal romance and women's fiction masterpiece. I'm normally not a fan of paranormal romances, but this one was done so perfectly. In order to move Serena's story and growth, the switching of the characters was the perfect answer. She is a brilliant scientist who is driven in her work.
One night, she gets stuck to a seat and meets Henry. Their connection is instantaneous and intense. So much so that Serena runs from him. Except, they work together.
The story that ensues is engrossing and absolutely perfect. I loved the science references so much. I cannot recommend this enough!

I enjoyed this unique, fast-paced, laugh-out-loud, nerdy, opposites attract romance about two physicist colleagues who switch bodies when science goes wrong at the Large Hadron Colllider.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for ARC of the e-book and an ALC of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

The audiobook narration was lovely. Kelsey Navarro Foster (one of my favourite female narrators) perfectly embodied the FMC with all her quirks and personality traits. I would have wanted to have more narration by James Anderson Foster across the book, but Kelsey did a great job on her own!

Serena & Henry were very likeable, and I found myself laughing out loud at points in the book.
Naturally, you have to suspend belief for some aspects but it was such an easy read & a fun story that you find yourself fully IN for the craziness.
It was able to balance the line between cute, funny & sweet but never becoming cheesy.

It wasn’t a 4 star read for me but I really would recommend.

Switched is my first Sarah Ready book and I plan to purchase the start of this series (Ghosted) because I love me a supernatural love story that’s easy to digest.

I binged this during my first 2 days back at work, and it made for a much more enjoyable time.

Switched by Sarah Ready

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

I impulsively grabbed this as a Listen 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?

I do think that I preferred this as an e-book or physical read over the audio - there are a couple of graphics that you get in the print copy that are missed in the audio, but they are described quite well. Narration was excellent.

Serena is a scientist who is unorganized and doesn’t believe in love. It’s not that she doesn’t believe love exists - she just thinks that love makes you forget who you are as an individual.

Henry on the other hand is all about love. He loves everything - his family, friends, physics, and even Serena after one amazing night together. Serena panics, and does everything in her power to ensure Henry knows that they won’t work together - that is until she and Henry unexpectedly switch places. As they spend time in each other’s bodies, meeting each other’s families, and trying to switch back, Serena starts to learn that maybe you can love and remain who you truly are at the same time.

This book was so cute and funny with a definite “Freaky Friday” vibe. The audio had me laughing out loud so many times, but the plot was also incredibly heartwarming. I loved both Serena and Henry’s characters. Henry is such a gem of a human and I loved the way he expressed himself. Their chemistry was fantastic.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audio ARC.
