That 'literary novel' I swore was overhyped actually changed my mind

I was super skeptical when my book club in Chicago picked The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne last fall. The back cover made it sound like a sappy family drama, and I nearly skipped the meeting. But after reading the first 50 pages, I was hooked on the way it wove humor into heavy topics like being gay in 1940s Ireland. Has anyone else had a book they resisted turn out to be one of their favorites?
