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.
