Arrangements in Blue: Notes on Loving and Living Alone by Amy Key

slow-paced

2.5

a book that should have been completely up my alley but turned out to be kind of boring, kind of repetitive, and frankly bummed me out. I was expecting a powerful introspective look at love and solitude and while it was certainly introspective, I found it a little meek without anything very new or insightful to share. I did appreciate the various ways the author explores love and what it can mean. but I thought the book “everything I know about love” by dolly alderton set out to do something similar and did it better, without the self-pitying tone. 
what I thought was most successful was setting front and center the taboo subject of a woman living without romantic love. it doesn’t shy from those tricky feelings and the jealousy and sadness that may come with it.
