do you have any book recs that have an unreliable narrator?? thanks!

bonewitches:

ooooh i might do

  • the secret history donna tartt (i mean richard papen compares himself to gatsby but really he’s nick ok)
  • and on that note the great gatsby f scott fitzgerald (i hated this book because i had to do it for gcse and had to read it 5 times for the exam but wow you want an unreliable narrator? you don’t get much more unreliable than nick carraway well actually you probably do)
  • in a way the song of achilles madeleine miller (because patroclus loves achilles which clouds his judgement of the other characters but including it may be debatable idk)
  • a hero at the end of the world erin claiborne (not in first person but both character thinks the other was in the wrong or whatever. spoilers)
  • vicious ve schwab (ok so we’re veering into ambiguous villain territory here i know. also not first person but they’re each so unreliable in how they narrate what happened to people and you don’t know who to root for because they both see everything differently and each sees the other as the villain)
  • the shadow year hannah richell (kind of. there are aspects of unreliable narratorness in it)
  • the unbecoming of mara dyer michelle hodkin (mainly because amnesia type stuff but also she may be crazy. spoilers)
  • more than this patrick ness (who is seth? why did he drown? what is this place???)
  • i am the messenger markus zusak (oh ed my precious unreliable narrator)
  • underdog markus zusak (hey dontcha love him)
  • suicide notes michael thomas ford (tw for suicide but again why did he try kill himself? why???)
  • stonemouth iain banks (dude are you really tryna say you don’t know why these bad guys wanna kill you? pah)
  • we need to talk about kevin lionel shriver (tw for murder basically)
  • submarine joe dunthorne (the one that got turned into a film)
  • the woman in white wilkie collins (multiple narrators none of them reliable)

that’s all i got hope it helps!
