Horrible fanfic style book with a redeeming ending. I don't even know if I enjoyed it after reading it. Every character is horrible

This was a really great book. It had suspense, short chapters which made me want to keep reading. at first, I was wondering how this book would unfold - Alison's high powered job mixed in with her extramarital activities, keeping a family and drinking too much. Alison has been given her first murder trial but it isn't quite what she's expecting...
