I was so focused on my book(,) that I didn't even hear you coming

I was so focused on my book that I didn't even hear you coming.


Is there a comma needed before the that? What would be the best way to phrase this sentence?

No, you don't need a comma when the word is that . However, if the word was, "which" it would need a comma. His name was quite cute, which I didn't know when I first met him.

No.

It's fine as it is. I'd use 'engrossed in' instead of 'focused on'.
