DESCRIPTION:
This gamer geek has a pretty little secret. Art student and MMORPG addict Robert Ng has always been a loner, but he's recently made it his goal to make more (IRL) friends. The longer he works there, though, the more he realizes he’ll never be truly happy until he becomes the person he is online: his female persona, Bobby. As rough as he appears, though, Dylan has a soft spot for Rob. Becoming Bobby IRL presents its own set of challenges, though especially when you're sitting on the fence between two genders, only one of which has caught the attention of your seriously cute customer/classmate. Dylan Ford is a six-foot Inuit comic book artist who always says what’s on his mind, and screw anyone who doesn't like it. Which is how he winds up working nights at Rear Entrance Video, shilling sketchy porn and blowup dolls as a favor to his roommate. But will out-and-proud Dylan still want Rob if he's not all man?. Bobby is cuter and funnier than Rob is, and a thousand times more popular with boys
When Dylan Ford, a brash, gentle, Inuit giant—and one of the video store's customers—turns up in the Introduction to Art Principles class, Rob admires his fearless outspokenness and raw masculinity. From Publishers Weekly Painfully shy artist Rob Ng attends art school in Vancouver and works nights at an adult video store. He also begins to experiment with allowing his Bobby persona to emerge into the physical world, balancing being male at school and at home with being female at work. On the Internet he's Bobby, a girl gamer with the self-assurance that the real-life Rob lacks. But Dylan is gay and in love with Rob, not Bobby, and Rob finds there are emotional and physical risks to being female and keeping secrets. This slim sequel to Apple Polisher is explicit but sweet, and Belleau's depiction of the diverse, accepting Vancouver culture makes a violent transphobic episode all the more frightening. (Oct.) .

"A Great Multicultural and Gender Bending Romance" according to The Fountain Pen Diva. This gets automatic five stars for both the Asian male on the cover and the fact that the main characters ARE NOT white gay males. Again I say, GLBTQ doesn't equal caucasian and I wish more authors would get that through their thick skulls. It's pretty telling that some are willing to write about a marginalized community and yet continue to deny the visibility of those in that community. Wallflower Wallflower, the second installment in the Rear Entrance Video series, is a wonderful journey of self-acceptance for Rob Ng. More serious than Apple Polisher, Heidi Belleau has written an insightful romance about gender fluidity with Rob exploring all the facets of his sexuality.Rob is shy, insecure and socially awkward and more comfortable in the virtual world than the real one. Filling. An amazing story Crystal's Many Reviewers This is the first book in the series that I have read, but I do have to say that I was able to follow along quite well.In this book, I loved how completely different it was from most of the other m/m books that are out there. There is one thing about this book that I don’t want to give away because it’s a really important part of the story, which happens with Rob that I thin
