Thin White Line is an entertaining story and I liked it from the very beginning. It is well written and the author doesn't hold anything back in an effort to protect our delicate sensibilities and that works for me. It is edgy, deliberate and honest but not over the top and the characters come across as real people who are doing real things within the culture they have created for themselves.Drugs, alcohol and sex are an integral part of most of these kids' lives and it is their world that Kenzie is introduced to when she moves from San Diego, CA to Vancouver, WA with her mother. Kenzie's cousin Brooke is the lead singer of a local band called The Frozen and she introduces Kenzie to her friends - her sort of boyfriend, Curtis; the hot and notorious Ryder; the pierced, tattooed and straight laced Deklan and the beautiful party girl, Sadie. Lines quickly blur and Kenzie finds herself doing things that she never imagined she would do. Where is the harm in having a little fun, right?I really enjoyed this story and I can easily recommend it to others. It isn't very long - a little over a couple of hours of reading time - but it is a complete story and there is no cliff hanger or abrupt ending. Definitely worth your time if you like this type of book. Verified Amazon Purchase on Amazon.ca.
