Yes/No its not available.

Hi everyone! Hope you can help me with this.

Example conversation.

Lisa: sorry this book is no longer available to rent.
Adam: oh is it not?
Lisa: yup, it’s not available.

Is there something wrong with this converstion? Is it correct to say "yes its not available" or "no its not available."

Hope you can help me,
Thank you!
