Girl meets boy. Girl meets another boy. And another boy. And another. But this is not their story, it's Margot's.
****
Boyfriend. House. Marriage. Kids. This is how Margot pictured her life would play out. But seventeen years after her first kiss, she still keeps falling at the first hurdle.
So she's about to take a different kind of leap. As Margot prepares to make the biggest decision of her life, she can't help looking back on the relationships that shaped her. From situationships that sizzled to others that fizzled, from youthful infatuations to grown-up dilemmas, to the one she thought might be her happily ever after.
What would you do if the life you'd always imagined for yourself didn't materialize? Would you keep to the script, or would you write a new one?
'With glorious attention to detail and emotional fluency, Dunn charts the ways in which we are built and broken by love' Pandora Sykes
'An achingly relatable novel about the dreams we have for our lives, and what happens when we open ourselves up to letting them go' Harper's Bazaar
As Young As This is raw, funny and beautiful - Roxy has such a lyrical and perceptive voice, this is a really gorgeously observed novel about youth and womanhood and I can’t wait to see it fly - Daisy Buchanan
In Margot, Roxy Dunn has created a character who encapsulates so many of the anxieties of her generation. Deceptively open-handed plotting cleverly disguises a work of philosophical force. Dunn's heroine has us judging and loving her simultaneously while leaving room for us to turn the mirror on our own reasons for choosing our partners. I smiled a lot reading As Young As This, and whatever age or gender you are I challenge you not to do the same. - Paterson Joseph
What a treat to spend time with a character like Margot – warm, witty, wise (at least most of the time). A thoughtful and moving portrait of a young woman as she feels her way through life and love that made me laugh and cry - Chloë Ashby, author of Wet Paint
