Emily Colas writes with such skill and honesty that I can't help but wish she suffers a relapse. "Just Checking" is, in turn, mysterious, agonizing, and terribly funny. By the time she faced the fact that she was really "losing it", Colas had become a slave to her own "hobbies" - from daily hair cutting to incessant inspections of her children's clothing for bloodstains.Ī shocking, hilarious, and enormously appealing account of a young woman struggling to gain control of her life, this is Emily Colas' expose of a soul tormented, but balanced by a buoyance of spirit and a piercing sense of humor that may be her saving grace.
