The book I've been waiting for my entire life. Utterly beautiful
and funny and true.
*Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love*
Marks an important shift in ideas about intimacy and solitude.
*Observer*
A beautiful, painful, liberating book. Amy Key writes with such
tenderness and insight.
*Olivia Laing, author of The Lonely City*
This raw, gorgeous, pulsing memoir the harbinger of a real
talent.
*Sunday Times*
Fearless... Wonderfully, Key's prose retains all the intimacy of
her verse. Arrangements in Blue is a tender, subversive study of
love in its myriad forms.
*New Statesman*
A startlingly honest account of long-term singledom hits a
courageous sweet spot, tackling the issue with heart… Her singular
voice on this (almost) taboo subject is to be celebrated.
*Sunday Times, *Books of the Year**
Amy Key writes with rare integrity, courage and style... A
beautiful and necessary book.
*Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent*
Combines memoir with gentle manifesto, investigating our cultural
obsession with coupledom... It transforms the hyper-personal into a
tender, universal portrait of fashioning a life on your own
terms.

Arrangements in Blue is a short read, but each page feels so full
and worth savouring.
*Guardian*
Arrangements in Blue took my breath away... Even in the process of
reading it for the first time I knew it would be a book I would
return to again and again.
*Sophie Mackintosh, author of Blue Ticket*
