Publisher Description
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.
Life is perfect. She has one true love—physics.
Loving a man isn't in her future.
For Henry Joule, 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.
Life is perfect. He has many loves—physics, family, friends. He can't wait to find the woman of his dreams.
Love and marriage are in his future.
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You’re probably familiar with the good ol’ Freaky Friday body-switching trope—but we bet you haven’t come across it in a romantic comedy before. Switched follows California-born physicist Serena, whose dream job in Geneva’s Large Hadron Collider gets shaken up when she has a smoking-hot one-night stand with a chivalrous Brit named Henry…who, um, turns out to be her new boss. Things get even more awkward when, right on the eve of a big family event, a lab accident causes Serena and Henry to switch bodies. Author Sarah Ready (whose previous book, Ghosted, we adored) flawlessly combines science fiction, humour, and heady romance. We loved following along as Serena and Henry dive deep into science, mysticism, and psychology to try to solve the urgent question of how to return to their own bodies. Switched is a wacky, laugh-out-loud funny, and surprisingly touching story about two wayward souls finding each other.
