This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Hitch meets The Sun Is Also a Star in this witty and romantic teen 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.

Why I’m Waiting: I don’t know how I didn’t already use this as a WoW because y’all know how I am about Black romance in YA. If you remember I cried when I read Kristina Forest’s debut a couple years back. lol But anyway, I had been had this on my TBR, but when I listened to her yesterday in the SS librarian preview on her reasoning for wanting to write this?! All I can say is HELL YES! She mentioned a life long friend who inspired her (she had me in tears just from that story alone!), and some 90’s Black love movies that she also thought about and THANKS THAT’S ALL I NEEDED. But I know y’all already sent out the fancy boxes (That I didn’t get *sad face*) But how can I get a copy? Who do I beg? I need ittttttt! (Also can we talk about how beautiful this cover is?! woajfiUEFuejbfuWBF)
What about you? Have you heard about this one? Do you think you’ll read this one? Let me know in the comments!
Nice! I wish a special gorgeous box could magically be sent your way for this one! I hope you positively adore this book…though I have a feeling you will!
