Publisher Description
“Readers won’t be able to get enough of these dope-ass characters.” —Elizabeth Acevedo, author of Clap When You Land
Hitch meets The Sun Is Also a Star in this “mega swoon-worthy, effortlessly cool” (Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author) novel about a self-professed teen love doctor with a popular radio segment who believes he can get a girl who hates all things romance to fall in love with him in only three dates.
Prince Jones is the guy with all the answers—or so it seems. After all, at seventeen, he has his own segment on Detroit’s popular hip-hop show, Love Radio, where he dishes out advice to the brokenhearted.
Prince has always dreamed of becoming a DJ and falling in love. But being the main caretaker for his mother, who has multiple sclerosis, and his little brother means his dreams will stay just that and the only romances in his life are the ones he hears about from his listeners. Until he meets Dani Ford.
Dani isn’t checking for anybody. She’s focused on her plan: ace senior year, score a scholarship, and move to New York City to become a famous author. But her college essay keeps tripping her up and acknowledging what’s blocking her means dealing with what happened at that party a few months ago. And that’s one thing Dani can’t do.
When the romantic DJ meets the ambitious writer, sparks fly. Prince is smitten, but Dani’s not looking to get derailed. She gives Prince just three dates to convince her that he’s worth falling for. Three dates for the love expert to take his own advice, and just maybe change two lives forever.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Balancing family, friendships, college applications, trauma, and falling in love might seem like an overwhelming burden, but this empowering coming-of-age tale shows it can be done. Dani is a high school senior focused on moving away to college while struggling to deal with a traumatic event in her recent past. Radio DJ Prince is smitten with Dani, and he asks for just three dates to convince her that they could fall in love. Author Ebony LaDelle makes us care about every single character—they’re all going through some stuff, and they’re all kind-hearted. Her novel is also a love letter to great Black writers, Detroit, and Motown Records—and narrators Joniece Abbott-Pratt and JaQwan J. Kelly bring a bright, zingy energy to their reading. Passionate, fun, and empowering, Love Radio is the perfect mixtape of hope, heart, and youthful energy.
