Official Description: On the plane back from Volterra, Edward asks, “Have I hurt you too much?” One Bella says yes; one Bella says no. Parallel stories in alternating chapters explore how these two reactions can influence the reunion and rebuilding of trust after Edward left.

MF’er says: I am seething right now because I spent like an hour yesterday writing my rec and now it’s disappeared. I’m totally giving Blogger the finger at the moment, in your honor of course, LolaShoes.
I jumped into My Yes, My No on the first chapter, anxious to see what the brilliant author of both Let Your Light Shine and A Life Extraordinary would have to offer us! I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures of Blissward (as I’m sure we ALL did) but this is a much different story.
The ending of New Moon caused a lot of people to wonder what Bella could have done differently and Lola is bringing those choices to light in MY,MN. Through alternating chapters after the plane ride home from Volterra, she’s showing us Bella’s Yes and Bella’s No.
Every chapter is just so beautifully written and lovely, that I’ve thus far been unable to choose which choice I think is the right path for either character. Each decision has such powerful pros and cons. Both choices are beautiful and emotional in their own ways. I cry, I smile and I’m hopeful for these two because I want them to work through what was easily glossed over in the original book.
I am completely looking forward to when the two choices come together and seeing where the future takes these two. Trust me when I say this is a must read!
Kassiah says: Everyone knows that I love and adore LolaShoes. She is a master storyteller and writes the hottest, most intense lemons ever. I cannot convey the emotions that she crafts with mere words; it’s like a phenomenon. She even has her own Word of the Day: the Lola Ratio. She is beyond amazing; she makes us feel. And she has come up with one of the most innovative and fantastic ways to tell a story.
Like the Official Description says, My Yes, My No begins on the plane on the way home from Volterra. SMeyer only wishes that she could have gotten into Bella’s head the way Lola has. Edward is kissing Bella’s hand, holding her, and telling her that he is so sorry for leaving her, for lying to her, and for breaking both of them. Chapter One ends:
“Bella, I made a terrible mistake.” He pressed his lips to my forehead. “Please, Bella, let me fix it. Let me put us back together.”I stared at his eyes now and saw that I did, indeed, have that choice. I never expected to be given the option of taking Edward back. Furthermore, I never expected that the option would cause me any hesitation.
His face fell and his throat bobbed as he swallowed. “Am I too late? Have I hurt you too much?”
What follows is pure genius as Lola takes us through both of Bella’s options in two separate story-lines, first with her “No” response in the even chapters and then with her “Yes” response in the odds.
Chapter Two (Bella’s “No”) is heart-wrenching but is what we needed Bella to say and do in NM.
I longed to touch him, to feel his lips run down my jaw and along my neck. I wanted his arms around me, his voice in my ear whispering to me that everything would be fine. I wanted everything I missed while he was gone, everything I thought I would never have again.But my head would not nod, my lips would not form the word ‘yes’. I loved him beyond reason, but there was too much doubt in my head now about what he meant by ‘love’. I wasn’t even sure that he knew what it meant. He could say the words but he didn’t know how to live by them.
To my surprise, I realized I was shaking my head ‘no’.
Chapter Three (Bella’s “Yes”) is amazing as well.
“Bella,” he whispered and he sounded desperate. It fueled my lust, fueled my confidence. He leaned back slightly, giving me the option of stepping out of his arms. “I don’t want to hold back, but I –”“Please don’t,” I breathed, running my hands down his chest and back up over his shoulders, pulling myself against him. I stood on my toes and ran my nose along his jaw. “Please.”
I can’t express how much I want you to read this story. I want you to experience this for yourself so much. Although there has, of course, been no smexin’, this is Lola we are talking about. The mere words that Edward speaks to her are enough to set you aflame.
Being a total wussperv, I truly thought that I would want to skip over the “No” chapters. There’s anguish and heartbreak for sure. But more than that, there’s answers and healing. I find that the part of me that didn’t get enough from NM craves this part of this story. And I am shocked to say that I needed it. I have said before, no one tells a story like Lola. And this is a story that needed to be told.
Trust me when I say that you need to read My Yes, My No.
mozzer0906 says: This fic takes what many people cry foul at during the end of new moon and spins it two different ways. First it has Bella telling Edward, no. No, I won’t take you right back, no, I can’t just let you right back into my heart, no, I don’t want to be hurt again. Then it has her saying yes, but in a different way than she did in the books. They share more together than ever before; they give more of themselves to the other. This is the first thing I have read from lolashoes and it certainly won’t be the last. She has an amazing ability to convey such raw emotion through their actions and words to each other. And don’t even get me started on the simply ungh-worthy way she portrays their physical intimacy. I couldn’t agree with Kassiah more, you need to read this to experience the amazing world that lolashoes has crafted for Bella and Edward. A very strong recommendation from me for this fic.
