To read this book in tandem with Heroine by Mindy McGinnis, I'm not even sure I want to take aspirin anymore. But this book also shows the dangers of drugs, but on the steroid side of things. David Espinoza is a high school guy who is picked on for being super skinny. He's got a great group of friends and a very supportive father. But when the bullying shows up on YouTube, he decides to make a change and goes to the gym. And from there, he discovers the "benefits" of steroids. It's an accepted thing for many sports (and definitely not for others), but what this book shows is how it also has so many side effects that far outweigh the supposed benefits. Amazing book and I think every athlete considering this alternative should read it.
