Space Between: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity

Space Between: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity

YoungerÂ star and LGBTQIA+ advocate Nico Tortorella investigates love, sex, gender, addiction, family, fame, and fluidity through their personal story and the lens of their nonbinary identity
Â
â€œNico Tortorella embodies the twenty-first-century human.â€â€”RuPaul

Nico Tortorella is a seeker. Raised on a steady regimen of Ram Dass and raw food, they have always been interested in the more spiritual aspects of life. That is, until the desire for fame and fortune eclipsed their journey toward enlightenment and sent them into a downward spiral of addiction and self-destructive behavior. It wasnâ€™t until Nico dug deep and began to examine the fluidity of both their sexuality and gender identity that they became more comfortable in their own skin, got sober from alcohol, entered into an unconventional marriage with the love of their life, and fully embraced a queer lifestyle that afforded them the opportunity to explore the world outside the gender binary. It was precisely in thatÂ space betweenÂ that Nico encountered the diverse community of open-minded, supportive peers theyâ€™d always dreamed of having.
Â
Expanding on themes explored on their popular podcast,Â The Love Bomb, Nico shares the intimate details of their romantic partnerships, the dysfunction of their loud but loving Italian family, and the mingling of their feminine and masculine identities into one multidimensional, sexually fluid, nonbinary individual. Nico has become a leading voice of the fluidity movement by encouraging open dialogue and universal acceptance.Â Space BetweenÂ is at once an education for readers, a manifesto for both the labeled and label-free generations, and a personal memoir of love, identity, and acceptance.

Praise for Space Between

â€œIn an industry that thrives on artifice, Nico Tortorellaâ€™s candid soul-searching is precious and invigorating. As with the best truth-telling, it gives language to a thirst we had forgotten, while also quenching it. This is a book about addiction, familial trauma, and genderâ€”yesâ€”but more so it is about living. Living is an art form that Nico does well, and this book is an argument for making meaning from the messiness that surrounds us rather than simply muting it. Nicoâ€™s distinct and relatable prose tangos us past binaries, toward an intimacy beyond language.â€â€”Alok Vaid-Menon
