    About this audiobook

    “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.

    Editor's Note

    Three dates to fall in love…

    LaDelle’s high school romance is far from fluff; it’s unafraid to discuss tough issues like assault, debilitating illness, and the inner burdens we all bear. Prince, a 17-year-old radio DJ who offers love advice without the experience to back it up, is smitten with Dani, a fledgling writer with big dreams of college and career. He has three dates to make her fall in love with him — and change their lives forever.

    • 5/5
      Beautiful story. The story is slow but the message is strong. It takes a look at some of the things that we may experience as we transition into adulthood and how we still aren’t quite ready to deal with life. The story isn’t forced either and it ended on a realistic note
    • 4/5
      I absolutely loved this book, especially the ending. My only issue, I don’t know if it was the app or what, but there were multiple chapters there would be 5 - 10 second of no Audio, subsequently making me have to try to make sense of what I missed.

    • 5/5
      This was really cute! Although I don’t think high school teenagers would be this mature about their feelings for each other ? lol. But I really enjoyed it. Finished it in 2 days because I couldn't stop listening.

    • 5/5
      I absolutely adored this book and the awakening Danni has. She went through something so traumatic and almost lost out on someone amazing in the process.

      I adored Prince too - my goodness was this such a well written and honest character. Amazing representation of a gentleman and a boundary respecting young man!

    • 4/5
      Four and a half stars for me. This book was packed with inspiration, hope, and love. I smiled many times. Prince and Dani are characters I fell in love with, but their family and friends were all the characters I enjoyed too.

      The narrators read this book perfectly!
