Thank you to NetGalley for proving me a ARC of this book for my honest review.

Grace is a successful psychologist who specializes in helping others that have gone through trauma in their lives. This appears to be appropriate due to Grace's own childhood trauma concerning her birth parents and spending years in the foster care system. Switching back from past to present, the author provides a backstory for Grace that demonstrates a young woman with genius level intelligence. However, Grace has a secret life where she pursues discreet "one-night stands" with strange men as a guilty pleasure. After one of these situations, Grace encounters the man in her professional life as a potential client. Unfortunately, the man is found dead after his encounter and Grace must figure out who the murderer is before it ruins her on a professional and personal level. In investigating the death, Grace discovers that people she met in the past, however briefly, are causing trouble for her in the present.

On the whole, I was hoping to like this book more than I did. I was interested in Grace's past more than her present. You could definitely see why Grace was a loner and had only 2 good relationships in her life, the couple who chose to help Grace live up to her potential and become somewhat parental figures in her life. I was not connected with the Grace of the present. Even though genius level people can not always make the best decisions, I feel that Grace led a very hypocritical life. The investigation of the murder was not very thrilling or exciting. In whole, I was ready for this book to be finished much sooner than the end of the book.
