What are some books that upset you, for whatever reasons? Not books you disliked, but books whose plots or characters, or scenes you found upsetting? For me, Mary Beth Miller's "Aimee" was one, because I could relate too much to the plot, and didn't know that when I went into it.
Another book I found upsetting, but still interesting, was "I Know Who You Are" by Alice Feeney. Feeney has always been very hit-or-miss for me, but the general plotline of the kidnapping, and the things the main character went through as a child made me incredibly uncomfortable.
It's the same reason "A Child Called It" upset me. Though part of it may be because my sister read that book to me when I was far too young to really understand it.

I remember a book I read back in middle-school. Don’t remember the title, just that it had something to do with resurrections, death magic, a girl drowning, and the main character’s name began with “M”, and one of her friends died from a seizure (I think?).
Idk what happened, but I remember getting so angry I threw the book across the room haha. I finished it, but all I remember from that book is 1) Entertaining, but I don’t think I enjoyed it very much. 2) It was the only book that made me *that* angry.
