Review: Heavy subject matter but lite on character development.

There is a lot of heavy subject matter in this story which is the reality of teens these days. I have read some really well done novels that cover these subjects (sex, drugs,alcohol, family issues, etc), but THIN WHITE LINE didn't work for me.The character development wasn't deep enough that I really felt the darkness that lead to taking drugs. The drug taking itself just felt like a plot device to preach "don't take drugs" and everything seemed a little too easy the way it worked out.There is a love triangle, but I never really got why Kenzi was so desirable other than she was new to town. Ryder and Deklan were interesting characters and not just because they were "the sexiest men Kenzie had ever met". They definitely has some yin and yang going on, but I would have like to have learned a little more about them.This is 200 pages, so a fast read but it really could have used an extra 100 pages for character development.
