• This was an easy read, no brain power was required 
• I found the
  fictional dementia where the author made up a new type of dementia pretty insulting. I’ve seen friends and family mentally leave before they physically do so, and this just felt like a slap in the face so I can’t imagine how much worse I’d have felt if it was someone even closer to me
• The female main character is in fact not bad or a sinner 
• Don’t worry the male main character is in fact bad and probably fits the definition of a sinner
