Kiki is a drummer, who has an amazing style. But she's tired of being one the boys, she has eye on so caled best/close freind Mark who is also in the band with her. Unforunatly a lot girls are also after him, too bad because he is the only person in the band that is not after Kiki. As she was about to give up on boys, a freind reccomended her a site where you can choose which boys are your best match.

Wow! What can I say about Boy Shopping? Well I could say it was a very good book by Nia Stephens. I loved it. It was so different than many other books that I have read or even look at briefly. It was about a rocker chick named Kiki who really should have a date close to almost every night. But unfortunately she doesn’t. But her luck turns when her friend tells her about this online dating website. She also plays the drums in a band called Temporary Insanity with two of her boy best friends. The...more
I saw this book on my friends' goodread and I found it to be interesting. (title-wise).
I love how this book made people like me, love it. The reason for this is, you can actually choose who you want to go out with instead of boys rejecting you.
The main character in this book, Kiki really likes her best friend who is a guy but the guy doesn't really feel the same about her. He just thinks of her as a friend.
I wish in life, we can choose who we can go out with instead of all these drama.

I liked the concept of a "Choose Your Own Adventure/Boy" YA book, but I thought the execution wasn't great. Many of the alternate paths (i.e. dump him or keep dating) had repetitive writing with some conversations nearly verbatim. One of the guys was basically a stalker.
Other annoying things
- The main character ditched her friend at a party (seems like an opportunity for date rape possibilities galore)
- The main character freaked out over bootlegs of her band's concert. First off, can any teen...more

BOY shopping is a book that really relates to me in real life and i really apresiate this book i feelt that this book is about a girl and how she can fix her bad problems and choices!i read this book by mah self and i read this book in 2 weeks and i looked 4 it at the liberty i recomend this >.....for all the girl who thinks they making bad choices>
A cute read. It was nice to have a plan-your-own-future books with a main character who actually looked like me (African American). It's a fun and fast read and I enjoy choosing the various options. Not sure what the point of buying the book is though, more like a library book to me.
I didnt know wat to expect when i read this book. It was good but I read thru all the different boys. When i did that i got confuesed lol but it is good if u stick to one person
This story is about a girl name Kiki is awesome drummer and a snse of style that people like.In her high school boys always checking her out but her band's group mostly ashing her out. She tired of kids treated like a guys.So that when she started this dating online.
not really what i like. not what i wanted to happen in the book, should of known she'd get stuck with mark...
Jacob is a Terrence Howard look alike with an online profile that leaves a little too much to the imagination..

boys are the only ones that can be a player a girl can too and kiki is one of those girl players. kiki really doesn't have anything new in her life, boys are just not interesting now, until she found out something called boy shopping. kiki now found herself stuck in between some boys and she has alot of questions going in and out of her head. she doesn't know which one is right for her or which one she can really depned on.

So the synopsis seemed cool. Oh look, single girl wants a guy, dating website. But what the hell? What author does this? Pick a chapter, read what happens, then go back and pick another if you want? No, thats not a book. Not at all. Very disappointing.
This book was about Ki-Ki Kelvin a famous rock star and how she likes her band mate but is to scared to but later when she goes on this site called HelloHello she finds other guys then Mark { her band mate} tells her he loves her.
