Meanwhile, Prince is the friend giving love advice and even has his own relationship radio show. This YA novel plays off of some fun romance tropes as Danielle is a girl who hates romance coms and focuses on school, not boys. It showcases the beauty and culture of Detroit and the surrounding areas that I love and frequently visit.
Set in the Motor City, I was eager to delve into this book as I recognized all the sights and sounds detailed throughout the book. Love Radio follows the narrative of two teens, Prince and Danielle, through alternating povs. Three dates for the love expert to take his own advice, and just maybe change two lives forever. She gives Prince just three dates to convince her that he’s worth falling for. Prince is smitten, but Dani’s not looking to get derailed. When the romantic DJ meets the ambitious writer, sparks fly. 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. She’s focused on her plan: ace senior year, score a scholarship, and move to New York City to become a famous author. 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.ĭani isn’t checking for anybody. Prince has always dreamed of becoming a DJ and falling in love. 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 Jones is the guy with all the answers-or so it seems.
