Space Between

"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

"Visceral . . . A candid memoir and powerful love story."
People

"Soul-baring, engaging . . . Space Between is hard to put down. . . . Tortorella doesn't shy away from any detail of their life, revealing every intimacy for a curious reader. . . . Perhaps the greatest victory of Space Between is for nonbinary visibility and acceptance. In their honesty and critical self-reflection, Tortorella opens a door for people outside of queer spaces--and inside some less accepting queer spaces--to understand and engage with the concept of gender nonbinary. . . . A valuable stepping stone to awareness and acceptance."

"In an industry that thrives on artifice, Nico Tortorella’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 gender—yes—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. Nico’s distinct and relatable prose tangos us past binaries, toward an intimacy beyond language."
