Reception

I Have Some Questions for You drew praise from critics upon its release.[1]

The Associated Press praised the novel's plot but criticized the characters and their development.[2] The Star Tribune and The Wall Street Journal both published positive reviews, with the former praising the novel's "nuance" and the latter positively describing the "expressive imagery" of Makkai's writing.[3][4] Ron Charles, writing in The Washington Post, characterized the novel as standing apart from other "prep-school novels" by situating much of the novel's drama within the world outside the school.[5] Positive reviews were also published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, and NPR.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

Publishers Weekly praised the book, drawing a positive comparison to Makkai's previous novel, The Great Believers, writing that "this is sure to be a hit."[12] Kirkus Reviews, while positive overall, negatively compared the book to The Great Believers, noting that "this book does not have the profound impact of its predecessor."[13] Booklist and Bookpage both published starred reviews, praising the novel's prose, Bodie's characterization, and what they felt was a subtle message about racism and misogyny.[14][15]
