Arrangements in Blue

Amy Key, now in her forties and single, examines the realities of living without romantic love, shaped by her childhood expectations and Joni Mitchell's album Blue.

She delves into themes of loss, jealousy, solo travel, curating a home for one, family dynamics, and the decision against motherhood, celebrating unnoticed intimacies while candidly expressing unfulfilled desires.

The book balances gratitude for platonic bonds with unabashed yearning for partnership, offering a tender, poetic meditation on building a life on one's own terms.
