My Rating: 5/5

Primary Genre: Paranormal Romance

Blurb: 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 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. 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.

My Thoughts:

Another beautifully written novel by Sarah Ready. I am unbelievably excited to be reading this book because I loved the first one so SO much. If you haven't read book 1, go read it. Not because you need to read it to understand the plot of this book but because it's so f*cking GOOD. This book has two STEM mc's, Ali Hazelwood fans will definitely like this book. Serena (from California) and Henry (from England) are physicists working at the CERN science Gateway in Geneva and they could not be more different from each other. So, of course, they end up switching bodies during an electrical storm. 

This book is as beautifully descriptive as the first, taking place in Geneva, England and Northern Cali. This author just has a way with words. You feel like you're visiting these places. You feel like you're in the brains of the MCs. It's beautifully poetic and feminist, focusing on a woman's choice between romantic love and her love of science. Can she have both? Serena and Henry learn about each other by being each other. They learn about the people that they love, the foods that they love, the things that make them truly happy, and even catch glimpses of each other's memories. 

This was a great book and a fantastic follow up to book one! I can't wait to see what Sarah Ready types up next because I can guarantee you that it will be on my TBR.
