You get 4 stars because you captured the Peter Parker friend zone perfectly.I read the sample and found that I liked it well enough to actually buy it. I wasn't disappointed. You were able to capture the feeling a guy gets when he realized he's been stuck in the 'friend' zone for years and only at the very last does he realize he has to get out. And FAST!Sure at times I was actually groaning out in my head "get away from her man. she's toxic!" - this just proved to me you had the right flow of character building down pat.And our main character does get out: with powers.Later as our character goes through his 'training' we learn more about his abilities.NO spoilers...BUT the main reason I didn't give 5 stars is because you didn't pursue the full powers of the MC (Main Character)...full control of the body endocrine and hormonal system means  = muscle, mass, and strength growth. Best example : Take the example of Power Lifters, they have incredible strength, and balance, yet a very lean build. Our hero could have easily built himself a strong enough body with full control over his hormones and endocrine system. Made his body absorb nutrients to toughen up his body etc. Would have been cool to have read that he was able to have a tougher skin to absorb hits and denser muscle mass too give an take blows as well. After all..when a bone breaks, the rebuild makes it stronger. etc...More research is in store for you Mr. Anthony.Future to be?All the same, a good read overall. I do hope to have a 2nd book some day.Like I've told others: You write. I will buy.
