Switched
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.
“…an insightful commentary on the impossibility of having it all”
Kirkus Reviews on Switched
“Ready’s twisty plot keeps readers guessing how this couple could possibly reach a happy ending.”
Publishers Weekly review on Ghosted
SEE WHAT MY READERS HAVE TO SAY
Read the Switched Excerpt
I’VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THINGS ARE ONLY IMPOSSIBLE until they’re not. For instance: particle physics, space travel, and sex on a tree branch. Everyone thinks, “My gosh, those are impossible! They can’t possibly happen!”
But then they do.
They do.
Everyone has instances of the impossible becoming possible in their own lives. I don’t mean HUGE things like teleporting or dating an alien—I mean things like winning the state science fair against all odds or having their cancer miraculously disappear. These things happen.
Of course, HUGE impossible things become possible every day. Remember the world’s oldest Twinkie? No one thought it could stay fresh for decades, but here it is, deliciously edible since 1976.
Anyway, the impossible is only impossible until it isn’t.
Because I’m a physicist and I have a particular affinity for graphs, lists, charts, and visual aids, I’ve included a list to show a few of the once impossible things in life that became possible.
Fair warning, life is more fun with:
Charts
Graphs
