Madeline’s review of The Girls Who Grew Big > Likes and Comments

I agree! This book was completely unbelievable. How do all of these girls live in the back of a truck together? No mention of how they support themselves or their kids. Adela’s character made no sense and at least two of the girls give birth outside with no medical intervention (one to twins no less). The book presents teenage motherhood as pure bliss for the most part. I didn’t buy it!
^ I was also confused by the logistics of this. Six people plus their children fitting, let alone living, on a truck bed was hard to imagine 😂
