Summary:
"This fantastical, stunning tale shines in both story and artwork. " School Library Journal (star review).. "A noir fantasy part adventure, part love story, all the way spectacularly creepy. "--Kirkus Reviews (star review).. The Hazards of Love follows the story of--a queer teen from Queens who makes some mistakes, gets dragged into a fantastical place, and tries to hustle their way back home... Amparo's deal with the talking cat was simple: a drop of blood and Amparo's name to become a better person. Their mother and abuela would never worry about them again, and they'd finally be worthy of dating straight-A student Iolanthe. But when the cat steals their body, becoming the better person they were promised, Amparo's spirit is imprisoned in a land of terrifying, flesh-hungry creatures known as Bright World... With cruel and manipulative masters and a society that feeds on memories, Amparo must use their cleverness to escape, without turning into a monster like the rest. On "the other side," Iolanthe begins to suspect the new Amparo has a secret, and after the cat in disguise vanishes, she's left searching for answers with a no-nonsense medium from the lesbian mafia and the only person who might know the truth about Bright World.
