My major issue with the show is how different the accounts of the two main characters are. They differ so much that it is unreasonable to think that the two people could see an event so drastically different.

Yeah but it's by design to promote the literary motif (Noah being an author, etc) and the POV angle. I found it redundant early in the year but I think it works really well overall.
It could be that the either Alison or Noah is trying to convince themselves how it all went down. The beginning the of season Alison asked the detective if he "had a secret he didn't even want to tell himself" or something like that. It could be that Alison is creating a false reality to cope with the anguish of losing her kid.
I'm still not convinced the two accounts and interrogations by the detective are happening in the same time frame, either.
I wouldn't be shocked if a big character other than Scotty ends up dead by the end of the show.
