Love Radio by Ebony LaDelle
3.0

A gorgeous YA that mixes the beauty of music and prose, all surrounded by the ambiance of Detroit. Pair this with the phenomenal performance of the audiobook narrators and you get a book that feels REAL. There's so much struggle built into this novel, be it sexual assault, parenthood, or being a primary caretaker for someone with chronic illness. Dani and Prince never seemed cliche or forced, rather imitating a normal (if not more mature) high school relationship. Adding in Prince's radio show on love was just GENIUS, though it was fun to see him flail when it came to Dani. I'd recommend this book to fans of Hitch or who just want to watch two teenagers fall in love.
