Gym Junky by Brentom Jackson
This was a fantastic verse poetry style written story about the dangers of steroid use in young men and boys especially.
Showing how in the social media age we live in and how it can pressure young guys to view themselves and others in an unhealthy way wanting to be seen as 'bigger' or more 'manly' and muscular.
The story developed flowing excepionally well, touching on health, relationships and friendships and feelings of feeling inadequate to others older and the danger on mental and physical health of bulking and steroid use and pushing your body into unhealthy habits from outside pressure not of focusing on what makes you happy deep inside.
The book also had plenty of shocking twists and turns along the way and the title was a clever play on words too.
An eye opening read on the complex dangers of steroid use and eating/training disorders that can effect men and women equally.
