출판사 설명
QB of the varsity football team. Passing grades in all his classes. Dating the hottest—and smartest—girl at school. Summer job paying more than minimum wage. Things in Cody's world seem to be going pretty well. Until, that is, his girlfriend, Clea, is sent off to boarding school across the country, and a torn ACL ends his high school football career. But bad things come in threes—or in Cody's case, sixes and twelves—and the worst is yet to come. While limping through town one day, Cody sees a newspaper heading: "Local Girl Missing." Clea, now his ex, has disappeared from her boarding school in Vermont, and the only clue is a letter she sent to Cody the morning of her disappearance. With that as his guide, Cody sets out to find out what happened. Once in Vermont, he unearths the town's secrets—and finds out that football isn't the only thing he's good at.
Reality Check is another edge-of-your-seat suspense novel by the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author of Down the Rabbit Hole.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the latest engrossing crime novel from Abrahams (Nerve Damage), Colorado football star Cody Laredo's junior year has gotten off to a dreadful start. After his girlfriend, Clea, is sent to a boarding school across the country (triggering a fight and a breakup), he tears his ACL during a football game and quickly spirals into a depression that leads to him dropping out of school. When he learns that Clea has gone missing, he decides to travel across the country to investigate. When he gets to Vermont, Cody meets Clea's new boyfriend, encounters a friendly cop and has run-ins with locals from the town and rich kids from the boarding school. Although clues often come too easily and coincidentally to Cody Abrahams pushes hard to explain away the flaws surrounding the pivotal piece of evidence and the "whodunit" is hardly surprising, Abrahams tells an exciting, fast-paced story. Cody and most of the teens he encounters both out west and in Vermont are complex characters with believable motivations and faults, plot issues aside. Ages 12 up.

reality check
I think this is the best book I have ever read and I hate reading. When I was
reading the first 3 chapters I got stuck in the book. This is why u should read this book.
One of the best books I read
I wasn't really much of a reader, however after reading a couple of chapters you get sucked in into the suspense it has and you just want to keep reading I recommend it
