DNF at 24%.
The main male character is awful. He's an entitled, selfish, egomaniac who thinks that admitting he's a asshole makes him charming. He intentionally takes advantage of his neighbor, the "chubby, plain" FMC, insults her to her face, and then when a smidgen of guilt drives him to recommend her for a job he preens about what a good person he is. The FMC at this point is literally starving herself and he grudgingly admits (to himself, of course, he'd never let anyone know) that she looks better - but still not hot enough for him. Spends his time thinking about how he can take advantage of her agreeing to run errands for him, while patting himself on the back about having acquired himself a servant.
This man is disgusting. I read a couple of reviews that indicate he doesn't really change, so I'm out. DNF for the book and maybe the whole series. It's that bad.
