A story that looks at what it means to truly get a second chance. Sometimes you don't know what you're missing in life until it's taken away. In the case of Jack Jr, his bond with his family had been fractured, and after waking up from a coma he had a chance to reform it.
There is great world and character building, and everything felt so believable. It does help that Fort Lee is a real place, and a real Korean hub for cuisine. It also brings up COVID, but not in a way that felt annoying like other stories that try to force it as a sub-narrative. This story is both lighthearted and humorous (such as a character literally pancaking into a bus after chasing it), yet so hard hitting emotionally (the fight between Jack Jr and his brother was dramatic but felt real). 

One of my favorite aspects of the novel is that we never truly know how Jack Jr ended up in the coma. How did the car get off the road? He was seemingly happy with his life at that point, but there was no evidence to point to an accident.

Highly recommend this book to anyone!
