If you're a fan of the "repellent man changing for the right woman" genre, then this novella is for you.  It's the story of a shallow and terrible man clinging to adolescent hurts to justify how he treats women.  His chance encounter with a woman on the stairwell of his apartment building appears to be setting us up for the sudden and dramatic change I'm sure he'll undergo (although why she would want him when she sees how shoddily he treats the woman who is accompanying him up the stairs will likely remain a total mystery).I like bad boys and rakes, but the animosity this guy has for women is a total turn-off for me.
