Reviews
« Girl on Paper is probably Guillaume Musso’s best novel to date (…). His fans will not be disappointed. The plot is flawless, and the ending is particularly well-crafted and surprising. »
Blaise de Chabalier, Figaro Littéraire
« Funnier and more caustic that usual, Musso’s style remains sinfully effective. »
Jérôme Vermelin, Métro
“Musso is right to risk everything with this novel. (..) Girl on Paper is a cheeky magic trick. Better than that: an elegant migration as light as the flight of a bird, between imaginary and reality. (..). We must have forgotten that life is a novel.”
Pierre Vavasseur, Le Parisien
« Musso has a gift for creating original plots, and building and sustaining suspense until the last page. »
Direct Soir
« A romantic, suspenseful, fantasy novel, that plays the winning card of optimism. »
Le Quotidien du médecin
« Musso knows how to deliver a touch of dreams, and a great pace to the most improbable tales. »
France Soir
« Original writing. A special relationship with the reader. A beautiful combination of fiction and reality. »
Michel Drucker, Studio Europe 1
