All Those Things We Never Said by Marc Levy

Summary (via Goodreads)
As far back as Julia Walsh could remember, she always had a difficult relationship with her father. They hardly ever saw each other. Hardly ever spoke, and on the rare occasions they did, they never seemed to agree on anything.
Three days before her wedding, Julia receives a phone call from her father's personal secretary. Just as Julia had predicted, Anthony Walsh will not be able to attend his daughter's wedding.
However, for once, Julia has to admit that her father's excuse is irreproachable.
He's dead.
Julia cannot help seeing the tragic-comical side of the situation. From one second to the next, her nuptial dreams transform into funeral plans. Even beyond the grave, it seems, Anthony Walsh has his own particularly effective way of disrupting his daughter's life. 
But the day after his funeral, Julia discovers that her father has one last surprise in store for her. Without a doubt, the journey of a life-time, and an opportunity to say, at last, all those things they had never said.
 

My Opinion
It was a really interesting concept.  It's weird because it's not like the writing is spectacular but something about it grabbed me and I couldn't stop reading.

I was super annoyed with some of the lying but don't see how the story could've progressed without it either.

I can't really say anything else without giving away plot points but would be interested in discussing with anyone that has read this.
