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.

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!

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!

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.

Wonderful!

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

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!

Do the things that scare you!

This book is SO GOOD!! I’ve followed Kacie on TikTok for several years, and was so excited to read her book. I knew it would be good, but I wasn’t expecting it to be THAT good. I laughed, I cried, and I finished the whole thing in one day. She is an EXCELLENT writer, and fabulous narrator.
For anyone wanting to travel, or just to start living their life the way they’ve always wanted to, no matter what people may think, or what fears you might have, this book is for you.
From humorous anecdotes about the mishaps of not understanding different cultures, to heartfelt confessions of what it really feels like to leave all your friends and family behind to pursue the life you truly want, this book HITS the mark. Get it!! You won’t regret it.
Also Kacie, if you read this, thank you so much for writing this!! It’s absolutely beautiful, inspiring, thought provoking, and encouraging. Thank you for doing the s*** that scares you, and writing this book

Booking the trip & eating the *great* gelato

Ms. Rose’s passion for the topic of all things Italian, travel and taking risks is so clear in her prose & delivery of this book. A gem to follow in literature & on social media. Can’t wait to see what her future holds!

Inspiring, Motivating, and all around Lovely!

What a gem of a human sharing her raw and vulnerable experiences! Absolutely loved it!

On self accountability in keeping friends "who maybe don't-or can't-allow us to be our full, true, sparkly selves."

Brava! Making yourself small to make others more comfortable is so pre-2020(😉) Find your people! They are out there, your community is waiting. It is a beautiful message with wonderful scenery painted throughout. It was fun to watch you follow your true path with small signs pointing the way of you're paying attention. Thank goodness for that woman at Lululemon, huh? Grazie Kacie, this was a fun and uplifting read.

Kacie’s “realness.”

Love following Kacie on socials, and enjoyed a bit of a deeper dive into her motivations and experiences.
