Roxy Dunn’s debut takes us through the life of Margot, a young woman who, like many of us, wanted nothing more than to fall in love as a teen. As Young As This tells the story of Margot’s life, from a teenager all the way up until her mid-thirties, through all of the men she has dated. Each chapter is dedicated to one of these men, and the witty, effortless inner monologue of Margot’s thoughts makes As Young As This an emotional rollercoaster of a read.
RELATED:
Dunn encapsulates what it’s like to be a young woman and the anxieties many of us will face in our lifetimes through Margot’s character. The anecdotes of each man Margot dated will certainly resonate with most, and despite some topics being on the more sensitive side, the author makes light of these in her writing, experiencing every emotion possible in just under 300 pages.
As Young As This is a beautiful debut for Roxy Dunn, highlighting the ways in which love can make and break us as people, but also shining a light on the friendships and bonds we make along the way.
