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.

0⭐️3.5 - This was really cute! I enjoyed the writing style, the characters, and the magical realism. I loved Freaky Friday as a kid so it was fun to listen to a grown up romance version with a STEM twist. I felt that the FMC’s personal growth was necessary and well done overall. It was sweet how the characters’ feelings evolved as they learned more and more about each other, and that the switch was focused on that. The story was very immersive and, like other reviewers, I was left feeling like this kind of body swap could happen in real life! Would absolutely recommend for a fun light-fantasy rom com.
Thank you so much to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the free audio ARC in exchange for my honest review!

0i was desperate for an audiobook to listen while i had stuff to do this weekend and this was perfect for that!! the story was pretty easy to follow, the characters weren’t annoying and had substance to them. this book wasn’t anything crazy, hence the 3 stars, but it was enjoyable for what it was trying to do, and the concept was so fun!!
thank you to netgalley and w.w. crown for the advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
