Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk has a lot of the elements you're looking for, albeit in highly disturbing and bizarre contexts. Like most of Palahniuk's work, you just feel kinda gross when you're finished with it. I haven't read Invisible Monsters Remix, but apparently it's basically the same story, but in a "Choose your own adventure" format.

Invisible Monsters really messed with me when I read it as a freshman in high school.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk - A fashion model gets her jaw shot off in a terrible situation, and so the silent protagonist must reclaim her life. (Highly recommend reading the first chapter in the preview on Amazon. Also highly recommend Haunted by Palahniuk as well.)

The Language Instinct by Steven Pinker. Wonderful book that delves into the psychology behind language. Incredibly informative while maintaining entertainment.

Looks like you could use some direction in a comforting form. Some books to consider:

The Tao of Pooh

A great little book to get you to look at things differently at times. I wont go deep, but I think the reviews on amazon give you a good idea of what to expect. It's quite short as well, so it wont be some huge commitment.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

This is not a manual for repairing motorcycles. No, it's a work of fiction that helps you find a more "zen" approach to live. Have you seen "The Big Lebowski"? Yeah, it defends the values in finding peace in the world around you, even if things don't always go smoothly.

Invisible Monsters

Finally a book for embracing and confronting that anger and hurt you have built up. Palahniuk is just the author for the job. Don't read the synopsis and DON'T get the silly remixed version of the book. I've known people who have found this book life changing. It seems to really speak to women.

invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk

there is nothing else to say

It’s from the cover of my favorite book, Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.

I know you said no Gone Girl or Fight Club, but honestly anything by either of those two authors (Chuck Palahniuk and Gillian Flynn) is amazing. I personally recommend Invisible Monsters.

I have three to recommend.

First, "Invisible Monsters," by Chuck Palahniuk. Linky. I love this guy's books, they're all really dark and leave an odd taste on the tongue after reading. This one is one of my favorites by him. I used to own it, but my bitch-ass sister stole it. It's that good, though. I totally don't blame her for taking it. Another one of his I highly recommend is "Lulluby." No one's managed to steal that one from me yet. :D

Second is "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," by Stieg Larsson. Linky. The whole trilogy is fantastic, the second book being my favorite of them, but you have to start at the beginning, right?

Third, and definitely the best, IMHO, is "Jitterbug Perfume," by Tom Robbins. Linky. My favorite book by my favorite author. I could go on about his books for days, they're so damn amazing, but this book takes the cake, by far. It stuck with me for weeks after reading it. It's not really all that dark, but in a way it is.

All of them are perfectly well under $8 if you get used paperbacks! And even if you don't buy any of these, at least get to the library and check them out that way. You won't regret it, especially the Tom Robbins. And if you ever want any more book recommendations, I'm here! I effin' love books, if you can't tell by the wall I just submitted here. :D

Chuck Palahniuk is the Kurt Vonnegut of my generation. He writes in such a twisted and yet profound manner. I get lost every time I open the pages to one of his books. Fight Club has become to me, what Catcher in the Rye was to my father. I will always adore his style and twisted view of the world.

Here is one of my favorite books by good ol' Chuck : [Amazing] (http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Monsters-Novel-Chuck-Palahniuk/dp/0393319296/ref=la_B000APV8ME_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1370575577&sr=1-4)
