The shocking Summer finale of Pretty Little Liars [1] forced us to say goodbye to Mona Vanderwaal, and we're still reeling. We have to admit: although we never took her off our prime "A" suspect list [2], we were really starting to warm up to her. We liked that she was a little crazy and that she supplied some of the show's many bitch faces [3]. Moreover, we loved that, in the end, she helped the girls in their never-ending fight against "A." We've found plenty of reasons not to trust the Summer finale [4], but one thing's for sure: Mona's gone. Keep scrolling for all the reasons she'll be missed.
