Switched is 2nd book in Ghosted series and can be enjoy totally as a standalone even though, there are characters that made an appearance from the previous book like Jillian and Daniel. 
 
This story has an interesting idea plot with the body switching, second chance, fake dating trope and also the little fun footnotes that make for a different reading experience.  
 
Serena and Henry are total opposites, there’s no doubt once they switched bodies and began to crave things they didn’t really like but have to. 
It took quite a while for me to warm up to Serena but not to Henry cause 
he's such a sweetheart. I really like his way of trying to change Serena’s view of love and marriage throughout the story not just through words, but also through his actions. 
 
However, there are a couple things that made me didn’t fully enjoy this story. 
There’s Serena’s monologue that sometimes would ‘talk to the readers’ which I find really awkward in the middle of a spicy scene and pull me out of the story… 
 
I also struggled a little bit at the beginning because of how quickly the fell in love with each other felt unrealistic and the sudden time jump to a year and a half later felt a bit odd. Thankfully, I found the 2nd part of the book after they switched bodies more entertaining and enjoyable. 
 
Overall, this is a pretty good fast-paced romcom with a satisfying ending for all the characters. I still enjoy my time reading this and I’m looking forward to read the next book in this series called Fated! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
