The Girls Who Grew Big

 

“The Girls Who Grew Big” by Leila Mottley
Published by Knopf
 
At times I felt like there were 2 different authors writing this.  Maybe it was done purposefully because the 3 POVs had different levels of education.  I’m not sure, but at times the writing was beautiful.  With regards to the story itself, I enjoyed it but felt it dragged at times and some of the storylines were a little hard to believe.  Granted, I’ve never been in these girls’ shoes.  Although, I do know I would do anything and everything to keep my kids safe and healthy, but it seemed to take these girls a little longer to grasp that part of motherhood.  Overall, I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it.
 
Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf for the complimentary copy of this book.  As always, the opinions expressed within this review are completely my own.
