For Serena Otaki, free-spirited Californian, life is simple. She loves smashing atoms at The Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. She loves Star Trek, spicy tofu, and her cat, Captain Purrk. She loves her messy (slob-fest) apartment, her chaotic brand of organizing, and staying permanently, happily unattached.

For Henry Joules, uptight Brit, life is simple. He loves making analog black holes, drinking piping hot tea, and organizing his pencil tray. He loves his family, red meat, and obsessively cleaning his spotless apartment.

One perfect night Serena and Henry meet. Sparks fly, particles collide, the universe comes to a halt, and…

It was a mistake. They’re too different. It won’t work. Love isn’t in their future. Until an electric storm causes an unexpected event at the particle collider and suddenly—they’ve switched. Serena is in Henry’s body. Henry is in Serena’s body. And both life and love are suddenly very, very complicated.

This was a really cute story. I enjoyed how the two had to adapt to each other's habits and lives, and then realized they really aren't that different after all. The narration was really well done. This is book number two in the Ghosted series, but can be read as a standalone.

Thanks to NetGalley and W.W. Crown and an advanced audio copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked the idea of this story. I liked that the FMC was a career driven scientist,

I did not particularly like the narrator, or that the narrator switched in chapter 40. The original narrator was VERY good at a skeptical, jaded character, but I felt that made the main character TOO jaded, with the strong written character personality. I also feel that my dislike of the narrator affected my opinion of the story itself. Switching the POV in chapter 40, although I understand the reasoning, feels abrupt. Intrusive. If the story was written as a dual POV throughout, it would be fine, but it wasn't so the change feels wrong.

The story was slow to start, but it did pick up after "the switch" happened. Over all, I enjoyed the story - but would prefer to read instead of listening to this particular version of the audio book.

This audiobook was so enjoyable! I really loved the narrator, she really brought the story to life. I was taken aback by the male voice though, so not what I was picturing for Henry’s voice. I loved all the physics aspects of this romance. It was a nice nerdy take on the typical romance. Science rules!

Serena is bound to not love, she quite literally thinks it’s a waste of her life Even after she meets Henry. But Henry believes that he’s in love. They end up working together and that was a nice little twist. Somehow while working together they switch bodies, it was like a Freaky Friday romance and I am so here for it! It was just a refreshing romance that is anything, but typical. The way we got to see into each of their lives and minds while they were switched was so detailed and I feel like it really helped lay everything down for the story. I also loved the setting switches as they travel together.

I haven’t read anything else by Sarah Ready, but I definitely will be.

Freaky Friday but instead of fortune cookies, it's the Hadron Collider

Sciency-romance that has slow-burn, (sort of) enemies to lovers, a career-focused badass American STEM girly, and a hyper neat British Scientist.

Overall, this read was adorable. The body switch had cringey moments at times, but the romance made up for it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ALC!

Serena does not believe in love. She thinks that if she falls in love she will have to give up her dreams and her personality. Henry loves love. After one fateful night Serena and Henry meet and it’s all hearts and rainbows for Henry. Serena feels that way too however she is afraid this is the start of losing herself. So she breaks up with Henry. One night during a storm Henry and Serena switch bodies and through this experience Serena might learn that love doesn’t request you give up the things you love to be in love.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I will say the first 30% of the book felt slow for me which is why it took me so long to read it. It put me in a slump. But after the 30% mark I did get into it and really enjoyed it! I think it was interesting to see Serena’s reasoning for not wanting to fall in love. I enjoyed the idea of switched bodies. I thought it was cool that you would see memories from the body you are inhabiting. The romance was sweet between the two. I loved the families. I am really excited to read the author’s other book The Space Between.

This book had a slow start, but it took off running! This book was a charming mixture of Big Bang Theory meets Freaky Friday. I was so excited to find a body-switching romance. I had no clue how they were going to find a way out of it or even IF they would. It was charming and silly and I loved it. I really loved listening to the audiobook, too. The narrator had to do a bunch of silly accents for the characters as they switched and it was very entertaining. I can’t wait to read this one again!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to access this book in exchange for an honest review. I had a lot of fun listening to this book. I will say when the instalove came up early in the book I was super hesitant. That is one of my least favorite tropes. I feel like it was also the main character, “Ducky’s”, least favorite as well. Actually it was just falling in love in general. I loved that even though instalove was hinted at from the beginning of the book the main characters didn’t jump into some serious relationship. A year passes before the “Freaky Friday” aspect of this book happens. Serena and Henry get to experience each others families and learn more about each other in the process. That helps the instalove be a little more tolerable for me. Overall, I had such a good time with this book and will definitely be looking into the other books in this series.

I found this book very hard to get into. Im not sure if it is just because of. the trope or what, but I was so excited for this and i feel like I just couldn't quite get to the hype. I feel bad not loving this book because I really wanted to love it. The start was really slow for me. and I felt that the swap between 2 people that are love interests was weird and hard to wrap my brain around. I may try to read it again later on, maybe I missed something.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for making this audiobook available to people such as myself, readers who aren't professional reviewers.

I chose this audiobook because I liked the concept - body switching. I've enjoyed movies with this concept, but I don't recall reading a book with this concept. Also, this past fall, I discovered romcom books are entertaining.

Overall, it was a fun read. At times, the author bogged the story down with too many details about science and decor and trying to describe emotions. I understand trying to set the scene and create a world, but sometimes it would go on with no end in sight. To get through the overwritten passages, I increased the audio speed.

I liked that the two main characters are smart and secure in who they are. Yes, the female lead experiences emotional growth through the book, but she's smart. Plus, they both have jobs in

About three-fourths in, there is a revelation that is a surprise to the main female character as well as the reader. I don't know if the reader would have guessed it from how it was written. It seemed like an odd detail to add.

Toward the end, a male narrator is introduced for one chapter and reads from the point of view of the male main character, and his voice is too old, which is jarring. The character is roughly 30, and the voice sounds like someone in his 50s.

While the body-switching concept was never fully explained, it didn't bother me. After all, fantasy and magical realism are truly fictional.

The breaking of the fourth wall wasn't necessary.

All in all, I enjoyed it and will look into reading other books by this author.

I listened to the audio version of Switched by Sarah Ready. This was a cute romantic book and I enjoyed it.

This was my first book by this author, I want to go back an read "Ghosted"

I liked the writing style, it was engaging and entertaining enough to keep me reading. It was a fresh new idea I personally haven't read before which was great. The readers were really good too, great inflection in their voices, to keep me entertained.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Duckie as the main character because she had such drive and passion for her work. I am loving this trend of smart female main characters, it is so amazing to see. This book made me giggle a lot and I really enjoyed the revelation Duckie had in this book. I am not a super big fan of the Freaky Friday-like body switch, but it was well done in this book. Henry and Duckie made for an adorable couple.

"Switched" is a sequel to "Ghosted," where we now follow Jillian's best friend, Serena, through her own metaphysical adventure to romance. In this story, Serena and her one-night-stand-turned-boss end up switching places, a la Freaky Friday.

Henry has already confessed his love to her after their one-night stand, but Serena believes you can only love one thing perfectly. And if it's a choice between a man, who might disappoint you or change you, or the dream job she has worked so hard for, she'll choose the job every time. After all, it was her childhood dream!

But a freak electric storm has them switching places, and now they need to discover just why it is that they are better together than apart.

It was great to see them come to a better understanding of each other (through being housed in each other's body), and I enjoyed some of the ideas the author came up with regarding where memories are housed (body or spirit) and the like.

Thank you to Sarah Ready, W. W. Crown, and NetGalley for an advance review copy.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for the opportunity to review this book. I really enjoyed this book and the Freaky Friday aspect of it. It was a happily ever after ending, tied up a little too neatly but I am a sucker for a happy ending.

The Freaky Friday of love! I really enjoyed the story and the narration was incredible.
This is Sarah's second book, but it can be read as a standalone. I'm definitely going to read the first and third books, this book is an opposites attract that has been fascinating to read and the way they discover each other has been different, but I liked it a lot.

First of all thank you so much to Sarah for letting me listen and review i think it could be my favourite audio and book Sarah wrote so far in the series ,

The narrators did a brilliant job bringing the story to life i really could see all parts of the story coming to life .

i read Ghosted last year amazing i really feel Sarah out done herself with this story ,
the plot oh my gosh i loved very much the two main characters Serena which was in the last book meets Henry and some really crazy magic happens and they switch bodies i thought this was brilliant ,they had me laughing out load very witty big chef kiss to this story best plot .

Serena i thought great she knows what she wants and goes out to get it , Henry has got his work cut out .they do work so well together .

i loved that we still had the characters from the first book Jillian and Daniel love them
i feel that Sarah's books are just going to get better and better .

im giving this book a huge 5 body switching stars

I listened to the audiobook of Switched by Sarah Ready. The narration by two people was decent although the male narrator had a smaller part in reading than the female.

At the story's beginning, I was a little put off by all the scientific talk and the copious amounts of footnotes. Thankfully they lessened as the story progressed. I found myself laughing out loud a lot, especially after the main characters swapped bodies. I particularly laughed at a scene where our hero in his female body has his first 'monthly'. There were many funny scenes where each character had to deal with life in the opposite gender body. Although very funny, the story isn't just a comedy, the romance in it is beautiful. There were some very sentimental moments where both characters interacted with their families. There was a lot of soul-searching.

I had no idea how the story would end, whether the characters would be able to return to their bodies, and if they could, would have their happy ending. What started as a slow-burning story that I wasn't sure I would like, ended up being one which I loved and would definitely listen to or read again.

An easy enough listen while doing jobs and commuting- mainly background noise as plot didn’t hold me spellbound.
I’m not a fan of the fourth wall being broken, however in audio it kinda sorta works. However the cringe, tropes and, cliches were thick. Think Insta-love, body swap, STEM Femme, US-UK culture clash,. I would never have considered the Hadron Collider as an analogy during love making but, there you go.

With thanks to the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ALC.

I loved the footnotes and audio descriptions of graphs. Usually not a fan of breaking the 4th wall, but it works. The premise was a classic but I liked the added bits of flashes of memory and preference of food, etc.

I thought there was a lot of.. explaining of feelings and it was overdone. It made the book longer than it needed to be in my opinion. The last 10% really dragged on for me.

It felt like the author wanted to add more spice but was given a line they couldn't cross and it makes it sort of awkward I find.

Overall, I enjoyed it but wouldn't listen again.

Serena loves her job and wants to keep it like that. When she meets Henry, something shifts inside her, but she shoves it down so her life stays as it is.
Henry meets Serena and falls madly in love with her. Until she dumps him,
Which makes it very hard when Henry starts his new job... as her boss!
Well, but that's not all that shifts in their lives. Some weird sciency thing happens (who knows what!) and suddenly, they have switched bodies!
To go on with their lives, they spend all the time together. Which makes all those feelings start to resurface.

We stay tuned, trying to understand how they will be able to switch again and continue their lives, as they were. But, will they switch back? Or will they stay switched forever?

An interesting and very funny book. The characters are lovable, the side characters bring an extra spark to the story, and there is no way you won't enjoy reading this!

My favorite part was definitely the graphs and Serena's explanations. They brought the book to a higher level of enjoyment.

As for the narration, there's nothing to point out, as it was very enjoyable and well-narrated.
