  • "Het leven van een schrijfster uit de Dominicaanse Republiek in de Verenigde Staten wordt belicht door verschillende kennissen."
  • "The heroine of Julia Alvarez's Yo! is an author who writes what she knows--much to the chagrin of her close-knit immigrant family. Yo's friends and family members, many of whom appeared in Alvarez's earlier novel, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, take turns narrating this book. They draw a vivid portrait of the writer, describing her big mouth and high-strung nature as well as the details of her youth in the Dominican Republic."
  • "Yolanda Garcia's first novel, in which she made "characters" out of practially everyone she knows, was a big success. Now she's basking in the spotlight while her "characters" find themselves dangling in that same blinding light."
  • "Yolanda Garcia, Yo, mais aussi moi en espagnol, est devenue une écrivaine célèbre, tout en se servant de la vie de ceux qui l'entourent. Ces personnages se révoltent et décident de raconter leur vérité sur Yo : elle ment toujours, pique les histoires des étudiants de ses cours d'écriture. Sa mère, ses soeurs, ses amies, tracent d'elles un portrait cruel."
  • "ALA Notable Book. Yolanda Garcia has managed to put herself at the center of many lives. Each part of this novel is told from the viewpoint of one of those first tangled in her web and now frozen in the spotlight her literary fame has generated. While everybody from her three sisters to her third husband attempts to sort out Yo's character, motivations, and behavior, Yo herself never speaks on her own behalf, even though, in her native Spanish, her nickname means "I." "A literary dance . . .lively and engaging."--Los Angeles Times Book Review. A QUALITY PAPERBACK BOOK CLUB SELECTION."@en
