Muriel Avenue Sluts

by Maggie Hasbrouck Narrated by Julia Farmer

Overview

Muriel Avenue Sluts is a feminist coming of age story about love, and murder, and growing up in a brothel.





Seventeen-year-old Julia Turnbow's mother gets paid to have sex; that's just how it is. When Jules turns eighteen, she plans to follow in her mother's footsteps and join the exclusive world of Philadelphia's infamous Muriel Avenue Sluts. But before all that happens, she has just one wish-to fall in love.





Just when things seem to be going her way, Jules's world is knocked off its bearings. Her best friend Anna reveals that she's being abused by one of Muriel Avenue's gentleman clients. After a routine haircut and shave, Anna's abuser falls to his death from a second-story balcony-and Jules is just one of two people who knows exactly what happened.





To complicate matters, Jules dives head first into a friendship with the daughter of the dead man. Greta's a train wreck: she's charming, unpredictable, and has one too many questions about Muriel Avenue. Then, Jules puts all of Muriel Avenue at risk with an ill-timed slip of the tongue and she finds herself wanted by the FBI. Running from everything she's ever cared about; all Jules wants is to get back to the people she loves.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

It has all the glamorous, sex-as-a-weapon atmosphere of any other good noir story, but with an unexpectedly tender side. -Amazon reviewer

It hits on some serious teen topics in a sensitive way and carries a worthwhile message. -Amazon reviewer

Muriel Avenue Sluts is a fresh, swiftly-paced take on feminism, self-determination, and take-no-prisoners justice. -Amazon reviewer

The title pulls you in, but the main character wins your heart. Even with her strange circumstances, she's an Everygirl. She's the friend you had in high school that you never were able to get close to. She has secrets. -Amazon reviewer

It's an emotional rollercoaster that sticks with you long after the book is done. The story had me guessing from the beginning. Every time I thought I knew the direction it was taking, the author threw another curve. -Amazon reviewer

A questionable death. Sex. Adventure. And compelling characters. What more could you ask for in a book? -Amazon reviewer
