What I'm looking for is a book that has sci fi and fantasy elements, but it just hits a random Joe Schmoe. Regular world, regular person, but something extremely weird just happens to this person or group of people one day and now they have to figure out how to deal/live with it; especially if it shows them something they were hiding/didn't know about themselves before and creates their arc in the book.
The only two that come to the top of my head are "Mixed Up" by Gordon Korman and "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka (even if it was written and set in the early 1900's).
