Publisher's summary

A lavish, debauched weekend to celebrate an upcoming wedding devolves into a murder scene. 

With the snow falling fast on a New Hampshire mansion, seven 20-somethings gather for a weekend that will change their lives irrevocably. The extravagant trip to celebrate Will and Jessica's upcoming nuptials brings together a cast of characters who know each other from Ivy League schools and childhood Upper East Side haunts.

There is Lulu, an LA-based Instagram influencer; Maxie, a former Park Avenue princess, now Midwestern housewife; Yael, an ER doctor from Ohio; Rob, a colorless Wall Street trader; Will, a morality-obsessed lawyer; Jessica, Will’s perfectionist bride-to-be; and Alex Sable, a lawless pleasure-seeker with refined tastes. Alex, son of a billionaire hedge-fund scion, was the sole witness against his classmate in a serial rape trial 15 years ago, the notoriety of which follows Alex everywhere.

By Will and Jessica's wedding day, four months later, Alex Sable would be dead—in that same house, in a bathtub filled with his blood.

Can Tyler Carroll, a well-known podcast reporter determined to pry his way into their closed-door world, sift through the secrets that connect the seven in a web? As Tyler attempts to find the truth behind the months leading up to Alex Sable's dramatic death, he follows the bridal party, whose lives have spiraled in wildly different directions, bringing them to a fateful night.

The narration by Elizabeth Evans pushes the tangled tale forward as she gracefully performs multiple characters, creating a clear picture of chaos and emotion.

Told in dual time lines, the months leading up to the wedding and the investigation thereafter, I Eat Men Like Air is a riveting look at the unraveling of a friend group punctured by violence and a chilling depiction of the rage that festers when it's kept secret.

Note: I Eat Men Like Air contains mature and sensitive themes.

Meh...

Not my favorite. I struggled to finish this one. I felt like it was a ton of narrating jabber and lots of jumping around. I didn't feel like a whole lot happened.

Very Good story

Interesting story with great characters.
The premise is good and the writing is fine
This should have been edited and edited again
Marred by repute on of thought and even identical sentences a page apart
Still worth reading especially as a free book;)

Not my kind of story

While I thought the narrator did a fine job with different voices, etc., I never liked any of the characters and felt the story was predictable and boring. I don't know why I listened until the end.

Well, at least the narrator was good.

Too long and sometimes confusing. maybe if it didn't drag on and get so depressing it would be pretty good.

What horrible people

I nearly gave up at the halfway point. What a collection of horrible people—shallow and money-grubbing and obsessed with stuff that doesn’t matter. And then bored by their obsession. But to the author’s credit, I kinda wanted to see what happened. Nobody really redeemed themselves, but after a while the shortest path was just to continue to the exit. The writer seems skilled enough, but I wouldn’t bother with another book peopled from this social stratum.

well told story

interesting and somewhat original story told in a series of snapshots over a scattered chronology. outstanding character development and a lot of original weird pictures built to describe the emotions and the people that were having them. the rich Jewish New Yorker angst was reminiscent of Woody Allen without the laughs. I enjoyed looking over the shoulders of people from a world that I will never see.

Spoiled unlikeable characters

I love a good mystery but this wasn’t it. There were too many characters. They were all spoiled and pathetic. I’d rather watch Gossip Girl or Cruel Intentions. This was a grab out version of those.
