Handmaid’s Tale but to get to the “uplifting ending” you have to read the sequel
Veridical_Perception on
Classic dystopian novels like 1983 and Fahrenheit 451 are generally not cheerful novels – the genre by definition is not happy or cheerful.
Post-apocalyptic, autocratic, totalitarian futures where loss of individuality, independence, oppressive government control, social corruption and decay, and loss of personal freedom tend not to be fun places to be.
I suppose, you could try something like Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut or Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
