I liked the range of characters in Little Boxes—they felt varied and real, which helped bring some life to the story. The book explores grief in a really honest, thoughtful way, and there were definitely moments where the emotion hit home. Knapp captured some of those feelings beautifully, especially when it came to how people process loss differently.

That said, overall the book felt quite one-note to me. The tone didn’t shift much, and I never really felt pulled into the story. I wasn’t hooked at any point, but I could still appreciate the emotional depth she was trying to explore. It had its moments, but it just didn’t fully click for me.
