It's weird because we have things we already know Tifa is an unreliable narrator about, and it's her perception of Cloud as this cool guy that's content to be on his own. They have already adressed this in Rebirth.
What she's not unreliable about is her feelings for Cloud, what caused them, and the fact that they were friends as little kids. Hell, the last one is also directly refferenced in Rebirth? She mentions during the Fluffy quest she hasn't been in his house since she was 8, which makes pretty clear she used to come over, and Cloud didn't contradict her, so I don't know what they're expecting.
But also all of the scenes in ToTP of Tifa reflecting on her feelings for Cloud specifically don't follow the framing device of the rest of the novel where it's someone telling a story. Nojima was very careful to have those scenes be her reflecting back privately, so you can't really claim she's lying on purpose either even if you are on the "Tifa the liar" train.
