Product Description

Book Description
Montgomery Sanderson has never been one of life’s go-getters. He drifts through a life in London, working at an advertising agency that specialises in bears, reviewing dismal guitar bands for beer money, and wondering if he’ll ever master the boy-girl game. Then Monty meets Kathleen, a girl who understands him instantly and seems to wash away the romantic failures of his past. But those same vagaries of fate that bring two people together can also play the cruellest of tricks...

Wallfloweresque is a romantic comedy for our times, a contemporary variation on the classic boy meets girl tale set in the early part of our twenty-first century, a time of metrosexuality, protest marches and speed dating. Hilarious and uplifting in equal measure, this is the universal story of a little guy in a big world, bemused by fashion and technology and the behaviour of his friends, hoping for nothing more than someone to share his confusion with. Reading Wallfloweresque you’re certain to laugh, to cry, to wonder who’d hire a bear to appear at their wedding. Most of all, you’re guaranteed to be entertained in a way only ever achieved by the best fiction.

From the Author
In attempting to write a contemporary rom-com I wanted to create a novel which, unlike most popular fiction, managed to be both romantic and funny, whilst also achieving a certain level of literary merit. Hopefully I've managed that, but ultimately it's for you to decide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rather Good, 5 Jan 2009
By ridlydidly "ridlydidly" (Hove, East Sussex) - See all my reviews
I rather enjoyed this coming of age novel in which we get to sample the views and emotions from a boy/man point of view instead of from a female. Interesting to note that the opposite sex does have feelings after all. Well worth it! Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it.., 4 Jan 2009
By Mr. Iain Killingbeck - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well I think this book is quite interesting! Well written and put together, Devey is quite funny. He also likes bears which is worth 5 stars in itself. Buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny read with a real charm to it, 4 Jan 2009
Wallfloweresque does exactly what it says on the tin; highlighting the plight of so many sensitive, responsible men in a style befitting of its content. The understated, realistic portrayal is not without twists and touches of darkness however, and these are handled with delicacy, care and the the ever so occasional dry wit.

1.0 out of 5 stars utter and total drivel
Alan Devey should not write because he can not write. This book was "self published". That should have been enough indication to the author that it is bad. Read more

If you love a bit of rom-com, a twist n' turn plot, a bit of adventure, and, erm, bears, then this is the book for you. Read more
