Nico Tortorella
Younger 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.
"Nico Tortorella embodies the twenty-first-century human." (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 wasn’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 that space between that Nico encountered the diverse community of open-minded, supportive peers they’d always dreamed of having.
Expanding on themes explored on their popular podcast, 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. Space Between is at once an education for listeners, a manifesto for both the labeled and label-free generations, and a personal memoir of love, identity, and acceptance.

Critic reviews
"Space Between is honest, insightful, and poetic. This book encourages a new dialogue around humanity, sexuality, and gender identity that has been missing from the conversation. Each page inspires the reader to reflect and challenge their own biases, while gently championing self-growth and the respect of others." (Karamo Brown)
"Not only does Space Between answer many questions about what it means to live outside the gender binary, Nico Tortorella’s memoir is the ultimate inspiration for people to fully accept themselves, no matter how challenging it can be. By sharing their voyage toward realizing their own sexuality and identity, Nico empowers LGBTQ youth and grows acceptance for the LGBTQ community." (Anthony Ramos, GLAAD)
"Nico Tortorella’s Space Between captures the zeitgeist with their groundbreaking exploration of identity, authenticity, and vulnerability. It is a beautifully written account of what it means to live a life with courage." (Darren Star)

He was my fav on the show so when I saw he wrote a book, I jumped on the audiobook.
I loved this book and I love his heart.
I'm a 64-year-old woman who lost my beautiful Niece at age 27 two years ago. She was gay and loved so much by her family but our love wasn't enough🥲
Society is so cruel and she just couldn't take it anymore.
Thank you Nico for telling them and showing them that they are loved and understood, that they are worthy and they matter.
Love is the answer. Love is love.
The world needs love now more than ever.

I recognized Nico from a tattoo show on FB TV as well & decided to listen to this audio book and I just finished it.
I hated it & loved it. (Sobbing)
I hated how his father abandoned them but remember he abandoned his first family/wife too! Patterns suck!
I hated the lack of unconditional support of Nico's family... my son came out to me 2 years ago because I asked him, and I told him I am his #1 fan and I want him to live his authentic self always!
I absolutely hate all of the drug use in this book. The denial of drug addiction is not surprising because alcoholics are manipulators. They are very good at trying to justify their behavior and when they are as sexy hot as Nico..people will believe anything they say. I come from a very long line of alcoholics & drug abusers so I can see manipulation from far away and all of this book is just that.
We are sick as our secrets and being in denial of being addicted to pot, mushrooms and the Peru herbal drinks is a very dangerous mindset. If it is mind alternating, numbing and cause behavior that is not in control it is an issue.
I beg of you to seek rehab and stop all drugs please! For your future children's sake please. Children can have serious health issues born addicted.
It is wonderful you are sober for 6+ years now but all the other substances must also be stopped!!! It can't be sober without quitting all substances.
I wish I could sit with Nico with a cup of coffee and tell him I love him... I love him because he is home... I always fall in love with alcoholics... it is what I have always known even without knowing yet. It's like a magnet.
I love how Nico speaks HIS truth about his own sexuality... It is so beautiful.
I love how it made me love how I speak my own truth of being dedicated to 1 man for 27 years. I can't imagine not being with him.
Does it mean I don't ever have fantasies of having sex with other hot sexy men? Of course not.
Just to feel youthful & alive if another man was sexually attracted to me would make me feel amazing.
Would I want to have sex with a younger or older man or several men? Hell YES I would...I'm 48 yrs old horny all the time, like a 18 yr horny teenage boy, but because my husband is not open he would be devastated.
I have finally dealt with my trama and freed myself from all those sad times and just love being alive and free. I chase my husband around the house... I day dream of being with other men just to feel youthful again. I am okay with it all.
This book is full of love and I wish nothing but the BEST for Nico. I say fill in ALL the spaces with healthy safe love always!!!! 👍🏼🙌🏼💕❤️

I think I have always been more open minded and liberal than my counterparts, but over the last decade I have been on a journey to learn more about how gender is socially constructed and how it is influenced by our sociocultural. Gender, social class, and race are used to socially categorize people and this leads to prejudice and discrimination. I dream of a world where this does not exist; a world where we are all free to just live and love. I dream of a world with more Nico Tortorella’s in it.
Thank you, Nico, for sharing your journey with us.
I both laughed and cried y’all!
