Younger superstar and LGBTQIA+ advocate Nico Tortorella investigates like, sex, gender, habit, family, popularity, and fluidity through their personal story and the lens of their nonbinary identity

“Nico Tortorella embodies the twenty-first-century human.”-RuPaul

Nico Tortorella is a seeker. Elevated on a steady regimen of Memory Dass and uncooked food, they have always been interested in the more spiritual areas of life. That’s, until the desire for fame and fortune eclipsed their journey about Space Between: Explorations of Like, Sex, and Fluidity toward enlightenment and sent them right into a unpredictable manner of addiction and self-destructive behavior. It wasn’t until Nico dug deep and began to examine the fluidity of both their sexuality and gender identification that they truly became more comfortable in their personal skin, got sober from alcohol, came into into an unconventional relationship with the like of their existence, and fully embraced a queer life-style that afforded them the opportunity to explore the world beyond your gender binary. It had been precisely in that space between that Nico came across the varied community of open-minded, supportive peers they’d often imagined having.

Expanding on themes explored on their popular podcast, The Love Bomb, Nico shares the intimate information on their romantic partnerships, the dysfunction of their loud but loving Italian family, as well as the mingling of their feminine and masculine identities into one multidimensional, sexually liquid, non-binary individual. Nico has become a leading voice from the fluidity motion by encouraging open up dialogue and universal acceptance. Space Between reaches once an education for visitors, a manifesto for both labeled and label-free years, and an individual memoir of love, identity, and approval.

Praise for Space Between

“In an industry that thrives about artifice, Nico Tortorella’s candid soul-searching is precious and invigorating. Much like the very best truth-telling, it offers vocabulary to a thirst we’d neglected, while also quenching it. This is a publication about craving, familial injury, and gender-yes-but way more it really is about living. Living is an art form that Nico does well, and this publication is an argument to make meaning from the messiness that surrounds us instead of merely muting it. Nico’s distinctive and relatable prose tangos us past binaries, toward an intimacy beyond language.”-Alok Vaid-Menon
