This is a fascinating novel about a Japanese-Korean gay man (Jack Jr.) who awakens in the hospital, intubated and not remembering why he's there even though he's been in a coma for almost 2 years. Nurse Emil Cuddy is delighted he's awake but can provide few answers for him as he apparently drove his car into the Hudson River. His boyfriend, Ren has since gotten married and his family owns a sushi restaurant so they take him in as he begins to rehabilitate and work there. But he can't get nurse Cuddy out of his head. And so begins a lovely, often-heartbreaking look at healing and what the human mind and heart can do when supposedly "broken."
