What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?

I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?

    Jasper Fforde. The first time I attempted The Eyre Affair I noped out because I just couldn’t wrap my head around the alternate reality/history. But, I tried again a few years later and it became one of my favorite books. I’ve since read all of his books I can find and loved every one, with this series as one of my favorite rereads.
