Cuatro días antes de su boda, Julia recibe una llamada del secretario personal de Anthony Walsh, su padre. Walsh es un brillante hombre de negocios, pero siempre ha sido para Julia un padre ausente, y ahora llevan más de un año sin verse. Como Julia imaginaba, su padre no podrá asistir a la boda. Pero esta vez tiene una excusa incontestable: su padre ha muerto. I had high hopes - this seemed like a sweet romantic comedy but I was disappointed by the constant bickering and how preposterous the premise was. Julia Walsh is a graphic designer, animator really living in NYC and about to be married to Adam in 4 days time. Instead, she gets word that her estranged father has died and now his funeral has usurped her wedding day. Considering they never had a good relationship - he was both absent and uber-controlling and not invited to the wedding, Julia's change of plan is a cause for deep bitterness for her. Then a week later, her "father" shows up in her apartment - only it is a sophisticated android version of her father or so he tells her. That she would fall for this seems to undermine the entire book. So Android Anthony Walsh has a week with her before he goes into permanent shut down mode and they travel to Montreal, which was supposed to be Julia's honeymoon destination. There we are catapulted into her past when she sees a sidewalk artist's drawing of a man that resembles her lost love of 20 years ago. This sparks an admission from Anthony - he had forcibly broken them up back then, and now he wants to mend the rift and get Julia back together with Thomas. Another trip - to Berlin and a series of dizzying near-misses between various characters, including Adam, now that his fiancee has gone awol. She has not told him or her best friend Stanley about android Anthony because it is so implausible. Exactly. Bottom line, her father is still uber-controlling, but it works out to her advantage this time. A cute wink and nod at the end, but a good deal of exasperation to get through first. Quelques jours avant son mariage, Julia reçoit un coup de fil du secrétaire particulier de son père : comme elle l'avait pressenti, Anthony Walsh, homme d'affaires brillant, mais père distant, ne pourra pas assister à la cérémonie. Mais, pour une fois, Julia doit reconnaître qu'il a une excuse irréprochable : il est mort. Julia ne peut s'empêcher d'y voir le dernier clin d'oeil d'un homme qui a toujours eu le don de disparaître soudainement et de faire basculer le cours de sa vie. Le lendemain de l'enterrement, Julia découvre que son père lui réserve une autre surprise. Le voyage le plus extraordinaire de sa vie... et peut-être l'occasion de se dire, enfin, toutes les choses qu'ils ne se sont pas dites geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
