 YOU Chapter5 to 8 

Reflection

OMG! Joe stole Beck’s phone! That uncertainty in me toward this book has become real certain! Originally I just thought that Joe was a little bit weird, he was probably just kind of mad, crazy, and creative, but now he's checking her e-mails and everything on the phone also he managed to unlock the phone. But anyway, the story continues! Joe followed Beck to a bar (which I’ve mentioned in the last log), he followed her all the way to the subway when she left the bar, she was so drunk and couldn’t even walk or stand properly. Joe was there observing everything, and somehow Beck dropped her phone off the platform, Joe was watching and I knew he was waiting for this kind of opportunity! He didn’t rush in and tell Beck to back off from the rail, he watched her climb down the platform and now it’s his time. He jumped off the platform and save her and accompanied her to her place, which he already knew where it is, but had to pretend like he didn’t know. 

Beck was home and was looking for her phone, but couldn’t find it, the truth is Joe stole her phone while they were in a taxi on their way home. What’s the purpose of doing that? Joe will do anything in his power to know Beck better, make sure things are all under his eyes. By the way, he met the guy Benji but not face to face, he was in the taxi with Beck, and Benji is outside, who is “kind of” her boyfriend, but not, also their relationship was super unhealthy. 

Joe headed back to the book store, went downstairs to the basement. There’s an acrylic room, a big box for book preservation, transparent and equipped with temperature and humidity control. I wondered why he was to introduce the box and the basement, I guess I'll just have to keep reading.  

Joe has outstanding skills in observing, and his behavior was so smooth, that Beck, no even I could barely tell what's in his head. He fake up an e-mail account as a bussiness man, and mailed Benji that he was interested in Benji's start-up bussiness, invited him to his basement, said:"Let's meet up at the near book store, the basement there was private and exclusive."

That is the end of chapter 8. Things are finally leading us to that basement, I'm really curious what Joe's gonna do with Benji, they met before, but Joe was in the taxi and it was dark in the night, so,  I think Benji didn't get to have a good look on Joe's face. Anyway if you are still here, thanks for the reading, can't wait to find out what Joe was planning, and see you next week!

  1. As a big fan of YOU who already finished the 4th season on Netflix, I'd like to say Joe is definitely a born criminal! Though his creepy actions are defined as out of love...I still think it is illegal and dangerous. But I still love him anyways hehe. Your reflection always makes me laugh, looking forward to your log 4!!!
