Book Synopsis



For fans of raw celebrity memoirs, Bravo Summer House star Carl Radke gives readers a look into his unfiltered journey of recovery, resilience and transformation.

Sober Carl Isn't Fun--Or Is He?

Carl Radke's path from reality TV's party-loving star to a life centered around recovery has been anything but straightforward. Famous for his role on Summer House, Carl's journey in the spotlight has forced him to confront personal battles under public scrutiny. Beyond the cameras, he's faced struggles with addiction, the weight of toxic masculinity, the heartbreaking loss of his brother, and a quest to find real joy in a world that equates fun with alcohol.

In this candid memoir, Carl opens up about a side of his life few have seen. With unfiltered honesty, he takes readers through the highs and lows, from career shifts and family dynamics to finding peace in his recovery. Each chapter dives into the hard-earned lessons he's gathered, proving that life can be fulfilling--even without a drink. His story shows that fun and authenticity aren't only compatible with sobriety; they can thrive because of it.

Whether processing grief, navigating sober relationships, or confronting the public's perceptions, Carl's journey is one of resilience, growth, and self-discovery. Through vulnerability and humor, Carl redefines "fun," reminding readers that the most meaningful transformations come from within. This memoir is a must-read for anyone seeking the courage to redefine their own path.

"In Cake Eater, Carl Radke invites us into a deeply personal journey through loss, growth, and finding hope again. It's an honest, heartfelt reminder that healing takes time and self-compassion, but it's within reach."
-Lori Gottlieb, Bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone and New York Times "Ask The Therapist" columnist
