Query: Compelling Story, Poorly Written

I found the story itself to be fascinating. I actually wanted to see where it was going. However, the writing was not particularly good. In fact, there are many gaps where you have to just piece the story together. (And not in the clever way- it just felt disjointed and thoughtless.) There was nothing special in the way it was written- in fact, I happened to like the story despite the way it was written. However, I won't be reading more by this author.I was also disappointed with the foul language. If you are a parent, know this book contains underage drinking & smoking. It also deals with homosexuality and teen sexuality (in a very, very small capacity). The main character is also a high school drop out, though that seems neither condemned nor condoned in the book.
