I like Jessica, and like Leah, I think she is unfairly demonized in the book.

- There is absolutely nothing to back up the fake friend thing. in pretty much any scenario where she seems to be mean to bella, it's well past the point where the average person would've drawn the line, if anything, she's probably one of the most tolerant characters in the books.

-When Edward dumped Bella, she spent months pretty much catatonic and completely abandoned Jessica and everyone else. If I were Jessica, I would've not even bothered, but she was nice enough to accept her back

-We're supposed to see Jessica as a bad guy because she was mad at Bella for the whole Port Angeles incident. Bella basically called over her suspected rapists to them. This not only endangered Bella's life, but Jessica's. I would've distanced myself from Bella too.

-Jessica's supposedly jealous of Bella. It's supposed to be because she's shallow and petty, but if the awkward, introverted girl was getting all the guys in school -including the hottest one- i'd be a bit annoyed with it too. It's not necessarily right, but it's realistic

-She's supposedly shallow and snobby. We're supposed to hate her because she has flaws that any other teenager could have. not only that, all of the Cullens are a bit snobby and shallow, particularly Alice and Bella herself.
