I disagree. Both Alison and Mona did horrible things they shouldn't be proud of, and none of them can be excused. That's exactly what you guys need to understand, there's no better person, they both have/had problems; Mona tried to redeem herself, if she actually did and all those things she said were accurate, we will find out soon. Alison and Mona have mental illness: the second was literally obsessed with Hanna, she couldn't even bare the thought of her being more friends with the liars than with her, and (even though she always denied that, she still hold the grudge because of Alison), which is what made her crazy in first place. But she never played friends with them or pretended to be one even after she turned out to be -A and got out of Radley. Alison did.

She's a fascinating character, and yes, we all called people names when we were fourteen but she blinded Jenna (didn't even say she was sorry, pin that on Toby and honestly the girls had nothing to do with that, they just found herself at the wrong place at the wrong time) or blackmailed everyone she met (which is not something an ordinary 14 year old girl would do). Plus, they had every right to be suspicious of Alison when she came back in first place, since she let them be involved in her murder and had many questions to ask her + she did to them things that they didn't to + YES, they were her puppets, since she blackmailed them as well. She's a good liar and knows how to play the victim. She's an abuser, as the anon said, and probably never feel sorry for anything.
