What's a book you went in expecting/wanting to hate but ended up loving.

I recently reread Ready Player One for the first time as an adult, and had expected that even though I'd enjoyed it as a kid, I would find it at the very least cringeworthy now, but it ended up being somehow even better then I remembered. I had a similar experience with The Secret History a couple years ago, where I went in expecting not to like it because many book reviewers who's tastes I align with had expressed distaste toward the book, and it ended up being a top 10 favorite read of mine.
