A photo of Beth (a white person with dark hair in a high ponytail, wearing pink dungarees and a lilac tie-dyed t-shirt). Beth is against a pink backdrop, opening a blue diary with a scandalised expression - one eyebrow raised, mouth open in shocked amusement. Surrounding Beth’s head are doodles of yellow hearts, red stars & cut-out photos including: a Brighton bus, a bottle of cheap vodka, red Doc Marten boots, young Lindsay Lohan & Ashton Kutcher in heart-shaped frames, the back of pop duo Tatu holding hands in the rain in school uniform.
