Books like With no crying by Celia Fremlin

When Miranda Bloom, a day‑dreaming fifteen‑year‑old, learns she is pregnant, she defies her parents’ expectations and the moral weight of abortion. She encourages a boy to seduce her and revels in her new life until her family insists on an abortion. In a desperate attempt to reclaim her freedom and deny her parents their desired outcome, Miranda fakes an even more advanced pregnancy, dresses herself up as visibly pregnant, and runs away. She finds shelter among a group of young squatters who are excited by the prospect of her baby. But her elaborate ruse turns against her when the fake pregnancy reaches a critical stage, threatening to expose her lie. The novel follows her frantic maneuvers to maintain her facade while navigating the complex emotions of illegitimacy, parental control, and adolescent rebellion.
