You Deserve Good Gelato

Reasons to Travel the World, Embrace Failure, and Do the Sh*t That Scares You

Resumen del Editor

In her inimitably funny and feel-good way, social media star Kacie Rose offers a refreshingly honest take on navigating a new life abroad in You Deserve Good Gelato, covering everything from travel fails and homesickness to the joy of culture shocks and the power of doing the s*** that scares you. Because life is too short not to.

Kacie decided to leave her life as a pro dancer in New York City and move to Italy in 2021—and she never looked back. Okay, that isn't strictly true...

In You Deserve Good Gelato, Kacie reflects on the pure terror of driving on Italian roads, the trials of speaking a new language (and getting it horribly, horribly wrong), and the genuine beauty of a slower pace of life, all with humour and heart. And by sharing her personal stories of life under the Tuscan sun, Kacie explains how travel is a privilege, why cultural differences are the coolest things in the world, and how there's a positive you can take away from literally any situation.

You Deserve Good Gelato will have you buying that ticket and embracing this big, beautiful world that we all call home.

Love how vulnerable she is about her journey

I’ve been following on instagram and she is the best. Her stories and information I believe will help me on my upcoming trip to Italy. Cheers to doing the things that scare you!

Ode to the Beauty of All Things Italian

Having just gotten back to the U.S. after a week long trip to Italy (which ended with guilt-free morning breakfast gelato on the last day) this book affirmed all of the reasons why I want to go back for another visit! I appreciated the honest reflections about the challenges faced in an unfamiliar place and the encouragement that Kacie provides to “Do the stuff that scares you”. I found myself smiling throughout listening to her story as if she were sitting at my table, sharing a Spritz and telling me about her life.

You deserve to read this book!

Kacie’s words resonated with me so deeply! It was so fun to hear her story and learn more about her. I’ve been following her on social media ever since I visited Florence on my solo trip to Italy three years ago. While I was on that trip. Somebody mentioned Kacie’s Instagram to me and I started following it. Now, after reading her book I feel, even more connected to her in her message. Everybody who knows there’s more to their life, but who is in a place where they feel stuck needs to read this book! Thank you for sharing your story Kacie!

You are worthy. Live like it.

So much “pasta” to digest in this book.
First, love hearing Kacie’s story in her own words. She did a fantastic job with narrating, as expected.
Second, since becoming a widow 8 yrs ago, I’ve wanted to travel where we had always hope to go. I want to do it solo as going with anyone else, feels awkward. Listening to this, it makes me want to step out of my comfort zone and book the dang trip. Naysayers, be damned!

Kacie speaks with bold honesty and brave openness about her specific journey, all the ups and downs.

Maybe I’m taking it out of context, as I am a product of a proud military, “USA” family, however a few parts about explaining to Europeans the “pledge of allegiance”, “living to work, not working to live” and some, if not most, Americans don’t travel locally or globally caught me off guard. I don’t know if some Americans choose to live quite happy lives living in their rural towns or not traveling globally even if they could. Let me be clear—By no means was Kacie at all judging others or bashing her home country. She was just speaking her mind unapologetically & I love she finally (as you will hear) felt free to do so.
Simply stated, listening to her book, it’s clear she loves many things about Italy far better than she does about the US (healthcare, slower pace) and that’s fantastic. It does sound freaking amazing.

All in all, It makes for a great conversation piece on what individuals can do to improve their own situation. Stop wishing and hoping. Just do it!

Brilliant!!

i knew I would like your book but I never knew how much I love it. I also purchased the hard copy as well. Thank you for sharing your story.

Wonderful!

A truly wonderful book read perfectly by the author! I enjoyed it and will listen again!

American Optimism at Its Best

Kacie encourages her readers to take a chance on something new, to be brave by telling her own story that starts with a solo trip to Italy. She is beautiful, and bright, inside and out.

Inspiring and Motivating!

This is by far one of my favorite books, and as a therapist, will be one of my books I recommend to clients. I subscribe to Kacie on YouTube, and was so excited for her book to come out. Each chapter was inspiring and motivating. I loved it!

One of the best books I've listened to

I have been following Kacie basically since she started her social media, so I might be a bit biased in this review. But I loved it. I had a very similar experience living in Italy during covid, so it was healing to hear her story. She also gives a candid view on cultural differences between the US and Italy. Listening to this book made me want to return to Italy even more.

So Inspiring!!

I’ve worked with Kacie as a travel agent, she planned a 3 week trip for my family to Italy. I knew she was funny, engaging, sweet, and interesting but she is so much more! This book is so enjoyable! I devoured it! I’m giving hard copies to my daughters and all the young women in my life. Kacie found a whole new world by taking that first step, a solo trip that she always wanted to try. It changed her life. Read that again, it CHANGED her life. In a huge way!! Go for the trip! Take the new job! Move to the new city! Write the book! Eat the good gelato! Kacie is proof you just have to try!
