* BrokenAesop: The story seems to have the Aesop of "''You should judge and/or like people for their personality rather than their looks''". However, Sierra is rather dishonest, manipulative, selfish and occasionally vengeful, with a tendency to use her insecurities and low self-esteem to deflect blame and make excuses for her own poor choices, as well as a willingness to use other people to get what she wants. Instead of fully acknowledging her mistakes and making amends to the people she hurt, she seems to dismiss/justify most of her actions as being a result of her own feelings of inadequacy and victimises herself rather than taking any real personal responsibility, which actually results in her [[spoiler: being EasilyForgiven by both the crush she catfished and lied to for months and the friends she betrayed and hurt, ''and'' actually getting the guy]].

* DisproportionateRetribution: Late in the film, Sierra sees Jamey [[spoiler:kissing Veronica before the football game]], which, admittedly understandably, causes her to become jealous and upset. She then proceeds to publicly reveal that [[spoiler:Veronica was dumped by Spence over Direct Messenger, utterly humiliating her in front of the entire school and causing Jamey to think she had cheated on him. However, Jamey had genuinely believed that Veronica was the girl he’d been building a relationship with so it made sense he'd kiss her; it especially doesn't help that Veronica didn’t initiate the kiss and actually felt bad about 'betraying' Sierra. Not to mention, it was Sierra's idea in the first place to continue duping Jamey into believing she was Veronica]].
