Uppercase is a YA book subscription box from Lisa Parkin. Each month Uppercase sends you a new YA book, a related accessory, and exclusive content from the author of the chosen book. I love a good YA book, so I wanted to try this subscription out!

This month's letter is a little different, it includes a printed sheet detailing the items included, and a hand-written note from Lisa.
The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord - Retail Value $18 (On Amazon for $13.77)
I always include the Amazon prices for book subscription box reviews, but this is another instance where it's not an entirely fair number to use, since this is a signed book:
I'm not sure if all Uppercase books will be signed moving forward, but I hope so! (It's such a great way to add value to a book subscription box).
Here is the synopsis of the book from Amazon:
Brimming with heartfelt relationships and authentic high-school dynamics The Start of Me and You proves that it's never too late for second chances.
It's been a year since it happened--when Paige Hancock's first boyfriend died in an accident. After shutting out the world for two years, Paige is finally ready for a second chance at high school . . . and she has a plan. First: Get her old crush, Ryan Chase, to date her--the perfect way to convince everyone she's back to normal. Next: Join a club--simple, it's high school after all. But when Ryan's sweet, nerdy cousin, Max, moves to town and recruits Paige for the Quiz Bowl team (of all things!) her perfect plan is thrown for a serious loop. Will Paige be able to face her fears and finally open herself up to the life she was meant to live?
Another new update to the subscription is the addition of post-it notes throughout the book. As you're reading through, you can enter the codes on the post-its on the Uppercase site for additional content to go along with the book.
The Start of Me and You Quote Print by Risa Rodil - Value?
This print is an exclusive for subscribers, and it comes ready for framing or stands on its own.
Badge Bomb Bookworm Magnets - Value $10
I <3 Max Watson Pin - Value $1?
These book magnets are adorable and super strong too!
Verdict: I'm so impressed with the April 2015 Uppercase box. The updates/improvements made since the last box have added so much value to this box! Plus I've loved both of the books from the past two boxes, so I already find value in knowing Lisa is a great curator, and I'll probably love any book she sends.
Do you subscribe to Uppercase Box? What do you think of the April box?
