After her boyfriend cheats on her, Lola (Miley Cyrus)
realises her best friend, Kyle (Douglas Booth), likes her and she likes him

Dramarama. Her mum reads her diary and realises her daughter has had sex (oh
heavens no, the horror) and they have to try and mend their relationship.
What we have here is a clear problem in communication. You
guys remember how into communication I am, right? And it’s not just about sex
(although that is very important and you should be discussing things with your
sexual partners, for reals), you need to communicate with the people closest to
you in your life or problems will arise. Rather than shut your mum out of your life
when before you had been so close, for instance, perhaps let her in on what’s
happening with you. And rather than read your daughter’s diary (holy betrayal,
batman) you could maybe try and talk to her in a non-judgemental way so she
feels like she can share things with you. Pretty sure I’m going to be the best
mum, no doubt.
The film wasn’t absolutely horrendous, despite what I was

attention to for long periods of time. But I had alcohol so I got through.
