this pattern, ' A也不是，B也不是' indicates it is in a dilemma.
A and B can be contrastive words, and B can be expressed in '不+A'. Sometimes, the first '也' following A can be omitted.
Examples:
现在给小孩子买衣服真难，大了（也）不是，小了也不是。
--> It is too difficult to buy kids clothes, large ones are not good, small ones are not good either.
当时听到他的解决办法，我真是哭也不是，笑也不是。
I could neither cry not laugh when I heard his solutions on that matter.
