Complete with duct tape, wasp spray, and a healthy dose of sexual tension, MURIEL AVENUE SLUTS is a decidedly feminist coming-of-age story about a seventeen-year-old girl whose mother is a prostitute. #stopslutshaming Julia Turnbow's mother gets paid to have sex; that's just how it is. When Jules turns eighteen she'll follow in her mother's footsteps and begin training to join the exclusive world of Philadelphia's infamous Muriel Avenue Sluts. Anyway, that's the plan. But when Jules's best friend Anna reveals that she's being abused by one of Muriel Avenue's gentleman clients, Jules's world is knocked off its bearings. 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.
