These are the men Margot has loved, liked, lusted over. Since she was seventeen, she's pictured them like stepping stones - each one bringing her closer to finding someone to share her life with and, eventually, father the children she's always imagined in her future. From her first sexual encounter, to her first love, from grown-up dilemmas to spontaneous thrills, she's soaked up every experience available to her, discovering friendship, joy and despair.
As Young as This is a debut aimed at fans of Dolly Alderton, Meg Mason and Monica Heisey. Roxy is joined in conversation by literary journalist Alex Peake-Tomkinson as they delve into the ways that people shape us, the plans we make for our lives, and what it means to let go.
“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.” Pandora Sykes
“Raw, funny and beautiful…a really gorgeously observed novel about youth and womanhood.” Daisy Buchanan
