This debut novel about womanhood and expectations will be one of the most exciting of the year
This debut novel about womanhood and expectations will be one of the most exciting of the year
This buzzy debut is a beautiful look at how love shapes us
A vividly sketched, intense evocation of how we're shaped by those we know - one for Dolly Alderton fans
A young woman's life, told through the men she has dated. With glorious attention to detail and emotional fluency, Dunn charts the ways in which we are built and broken by love
Beautifully written ... The second person narration lends an authenticity to Margot's nostalgic reminiscences and honest look back at her past ... It's brilliant on comparisons, self-sabotage, social expectations, fear and settling. Wonderful
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
Anyone who's ever experienced the slog of modern dating will love As Young As This, an achingly relatable novel that focuses on the dreams we have for our lives, and what happens when we open ourselves up to letting them go
Relatable, poignant and gripping, told with great originality. Roxy Dunn is a fresh and exciting new voice in fiction ... I read it in a single day
This will really speak to you if you've ever had to let go of what you thought your life would look like, readjust, and let a new life take hold
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
I love love loved As Young as This ... I wanted to live inside it, wallowing in that gorgeous prose. And that ending! Well, I was not prepared.
Dunn's debut novel, which combines lyrical writing with a very relatable main character, marks her out as a rising star
Roxy Dunn is a brilliant storyteller ... A future cult classic
If you’re seeking a novel that delves into the complexities of womanhood with a unique and immersive narrative voice, then you’ll find exactly that and more with Roxy Dunn’s debut ... Margot’s story is one that will feel relevant and relatable to young women of her generation. It’s the perfect read for fans of Dolly Alderton or David Nicholls’ One Day.
The witty, effortless inner monologue of Margot’s thoughts makes As Young As This an emotional rollercoaster of a read ... 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
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.
An interesting and relatable look at our expectations versus reality
Engrossing, heartfelt and wise
Poignant
This gorgeous debut explores how our relationships mould and shape us; how each chapter of love, friendship, and heartbreak set off their own chain of events which lead us to where we are today. It’s a really very special book, and I’m already dream-casting the adaptation.
Roxy Dunn is a Writer/Performer and graduate of the BBC Comedy Writersroom. She’s acted in multiple television sitcoms and her shows have received sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and SOHO Theatre. Her scripts have been optioned by several production companies and her pilot Useless Millennials was commissioned and broadcast on BBC Radio 4. As Young as This is her first novel.
