Ep. 6 How To Be Single & Fabulous [Exclamation Point!] with Amy Key | SEASON ONE

Today’s guest is the wonderful essayist and poet Amy Key, whose memoir Arrangements in Blue about her life as a single woman for the past 20 years, has touched so many people since it came out in 2023. I remember walking to the bookshop on publication day because I already knew that it was going to be one of those books, that I wouldn’t say: change the way you see the world but rather those books that fill this space inside of you that for such a long time felt misunderstood or unseen perhaps. And it really did that for me. Amy Key's socials: Instagram: @msamykey Substack: amykey.substack.comThings that were mentioned: - Amy Key, Arrangements in Blue - Ann Patchett, This is a story about a happy marriage ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Things That Are Different Now by Sophia Hembeck ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you so much for listening, please like & subscribe to get the next episodes!
