But on the day of their date, neither appears, no matter how long the other waits. After blaming each other, they realize something is wrong: Matthew is living
The author has a principle: “I write the novels I want to read.” I’ve heard he writes on two levels. First, as entertainment, he draws readers into the events and keeps them turning pages. Second, he tackles themes that truly resonate and matter. Here, he shows how a couple’s outward appearance can differ greatly from what’s really going on inside. The plot begins when Matthew buys a used laptop at a flea market. In fact, he wanted to buy it but didn’t have enough money, so April, who rents a

🌳 The cover says, “A roller coaster of twists that continues until the very last page!” It wasn’t lying. Twist after twist right up to the final page… I can’t count how many times I got chills 😵 🌳 If you’ve never read Guillaume Musso, I recommend this book. I’ve been taken from rock bottom to the top by his books, so I can recommend it with confidence, haha. 🌳 There are occasional scenes from the past, but the story mainly follows December 19 through December 24.

🔖 If someone asked, “Which French authors do you know?”, Guillaume Musso might be the name mentioned most often. He is very familiar to us and well known for loving South Korea. This is another time-slip story from him. ️ Matthew, who is raising his four-year-old daughter after losing his wife in a car accident, and Emma, a sommelier carrying dark wounds, are the protagonists. Matthew happens to buy a used laptop. It contains photos of Emma, and he contacts her at the email address left there
Among the authors Koreans love, few seem to make readers’ hearts flutter and hit their personal sweet spot as much as Guillaume Musso. This revised edition also has many things readers will enjoy. The illustration is much fresher and more eye-catching than the previous cover, and I think it suits the story. As a master of romance, he really does tug at the reader’s heartstrings. Matthew, a popular philosophy professor at Harvard, meets Emily, a wine sommelier, through a laptop that comes into
To save the person I love, I have to kill you. A fateful attraction between a man living in 2011 and a woman living in 2010. “I’ve always longed for love. Maybe now is my chance to change my fate a year from now.” How far can love go? If you have to hurt someone for the person you love, isn’t that obsession and madness rather than love? Can you trust the spouse, lover, or friend closest to you? How much of a person’s heart is true, and how much is false? An email arrives from the future? It was
Guillaume Musso: tomorrow
How far can love go? If you have to hurt someone for the sake of your love, is that really love—or is it obsession and madness? Can you trust the spouse, partner, or friend closest to you? Where does the truth in a person’s heart end, and where does the lie begin? Guillaume Musso’s romantic thriller Tomorrow raises many questions. Musso’s novels draw readers rapidly into their fictional worlds with unusual premises and distinctive characters. Tomorrow has been newly edited for changing times and given a fresh cover that sparks the imagination. It caused a sensation when it was published in 2013, and it remains appealing and fresh today. Musso has a remarkable ability to write a tightly constructed, cohesive novel that brings together elements of romantic comedy, time travel, fantasy, and thriller. After the consecutive hits of After (2004), Save Me (2005), and Because I Love You (2006), Guillaume Musso became France’s best-selling author. It is extremely rare, not only in France but around the world, for all of an author’s more than twenty published novels to reach number one on the French bestseller list. Musso also ranked first for eight consecutive years in bestseller-author rankings compiled each year by Le Figaro and the French Booksellers Association. In 2016, Will You Be There? was adapted into a Korean film and drew considerable attention.
