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.

I smiled a lot reading As Young As This, and whatever age or gender you are I challenge you not to do the same
