“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.

4.5/5 - What a beautiful love letter to Detroit!! I know that city gets so much flack in general, but I enjoyed reading about its charm and character. Prince and Dani were the cutest. Now I will be honest, Prince came off too mature for his age, so it was hard for me to believe that was the type of advice he would give, but I love he wasn't tainted by the red pill, incel community just yet. lol Dani's character reminded me so much of Moesha from the tv show.
One thing that bothered me was the author's use of “mines” instead of “mine”. I feel like that was on purpose, but it irked me to no end. Other than that, a beautiful story.
Ebony LaDelle mixes in friendship, romance, and family with ease. I loved Love Radio. I loved hearing about Prince's love of music and how Black women need to take their own identity back. The hair show rocks. I wish I could have been there in person. LaDelle made me feel it. Then again, LaDelle made me feel everything in Love Radio.
