Critics Review
Praise for Yes, Yes:
“Thought-provoking and utterly original, Yes, Yes dives deep into the question of whether we can turn away from our darkest selves, and what might be the terrifying consequences if we try. A.J. Jacono takes an unflinching look at the house of mirrors of depression and generational emotional abuse, wrapped inside a shocking speculative thriller. Propulsive, darkly funny, and smart, Jacono’s stellar debut is as surprising as it is riveting.”
—Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Served Him Right
“I read this chilling and exquisitely twisted novel in one sitting. Jacono depicts the unrelenting grip of codependency and the impossibility of being an artist in a transactional economy with the exacting precision that a doctor might wield a scalpel.”
—Ling Ling Huang, author of Immaculate Conception and Natural Beauty
