That's not to count the relentless bullying an emotional isolation the rest of her school puts her through. And her response to all this?

The whole thing's just wrong. Casablancas only orchestrated the first two bombs, one to scare the owner of the hotel he wanted to buy, and one to get rid of the bomber/evidence. (Although Clyde was actually responsible for the second one.) Penn wasn't responsible for the first bomb, he was responsible for bombs 3 - 5, where he was a copycat bomber trying to disguise under what he believed was the MO of the original bombing. A dead fiance is never mentioned, I have no idea where that was pulled from, but he himself was almost drowned years in the past. His bombings was for the sake of notoriety and fame, and for people to take him seriously. The bomb also kills Logan not during their wedding but rather as they prepared for their honeymoon.
