Harrow is an unreliable narrator because she just gave herself a lobotomy, Nona is an unreliable narrator because she was quite literally born yesterday, but Gideon is an unreliable narrator because she is consistently not telling us important details about how she feels about people. She tells us that she hates harrow and wants her to die, but then when harrow is actually in danger she's searching the whole house to help her. She's talking about how she "wants to beat harrow up" but then side comments on she won't because harrow's "eyelashes are trembling with rage"! Don't even get me started on the "evil, loathsome, bad teens" who she tells us she has hostility with, but they seem to trust her more than anyone else in Canaan House...
