That is the real message of this movie. Absolutely terrible storyline, they want you to feel for the protagonist but in reality she's a terrible person.. seriously how is this trying to be spun in a positive light?

Sometimes good things happen to terrible people
Veronica is a sweetheart
I only watched this movie because Noah was so darn cute in "To all the boys I've loved before" and I've mentally reverted to my 15 year old self.
The movie didn't have much momentum, I could have stopped watching it at any time. The only reason I didn't is because of the character of Veronica who showed real character development and just turned into a sweet, nice girl by the end of it all.
Meanwhile, the main character, Sierra, just got worse and worse and I wish I could say by the end of it that she got what was coming to her, but she didn't.
After Jamey finds out just how deceiving Sierra is, I don't understand why he decided to go and take Sierra to homecoming at the end - in my opinion, the two characters hadn't shown much connection via the phone anyway (unless sending animal pics to one another is connecting), and after finding out that she had lied to him and deceived him, why would he want to then go and find her? And then he has a monologue about how special she is, when it should be her who is apologising and making things right (?).
And as for Veronica, Sierra did a horrible, unforgivable thing to her, and Veronica forgave her, again without really any effort from Sierra (other than confirming to Veronica that maybe she will be a singer when she 'grows up', which I don't think is an apology), and in any case, Sierra showed herself capable of behaving in a purely malicious and ghastly way, unlike Veronica who was basically acting as Sierra had asked her to, except it unintentionally went too far. Why would she still want to be friends with this girl who completely humiliated and hurt her in front of everyone, no matter what the reason?
To be honest I would have liked to see Veronica and Jamey get together at the end, because I don't see why Sierra should get away with all the mess she caused. Being insecure doesn't give a licence to betray everyone. Except this movie apparently thinks it does.
Catfishing is WRONG - don't romanticized it
Sierra's character is a self absorbed "smarty pants" character with absolutely nothing going on for her. At no point in the movie you root for her to win over her love interest.
Deceiving someone into thinking you are someone else is simply wrong and in no way should be romanticized.
By the way - Sierra is just as shallow as Veronica or anyone else. The only reason she's into the guy is because he SENT a picture of him right off the bat. Would've she reacted differently if he didn't look as a catalog model? I definately think so.
