The novel is packed full of references to Black music as a result of Prince’s passion for radio. In this sense, it was also great to see how the book is more than just a love story. For example, Prince plans a scavenger hunt in a bookstore for Dani to inspire her to write her college entrance essay, while Dani takes Prince on a tour of a local, well-established radio station to support his dream of becoming a successful radio host. It was especially heartwarming to see the sheer amount of effort they each put into planning their dates and how their dates were centred around supporting the other’s passions and dreams. Ladelle does an incredible job of capturing the chemistry between Prince and Dani in a way that does not feel cheesy but authentic and organic. Love Radio is a fantastic, swoon-worthy novel. But Dani is not prepared to have her life plans derailed, so she gives Prince three dates to convince her that he is worth falling for. She is focused on her dream of moving to New York City to attend school and become a famous author. But Prince’s friends cannot help but notice that his own love life is looking a little quiet. So, when his uncle offers him the opportunity to dish out relationship advice on his radio station, Prince is overjoyed. Prince Jones’s passions are music and romance. Love Radio by Ebony Ladelle is a YA romance novel.
