Uphill Battle by Alice Duke

3.5

I wanted to read this story since I read Stupid Prizes. The premise sounded fun, I love spending time with this weird car-crazy crew, and the covers are stunning! 

I think there’s going to be a theme with me where I love the main characters/couple, but I hate other people there. I have hated both fathers in this series, and I’m not sure how to handle it, honestly. They don’t get consequences, and their daughters/sons in law just stay under their thumb and under control. I don’t appreciate that. 

However, the characters are fun and complex. I like a character who isn’t perfect, someone who needs to work in order to build a partnership with someone. Nicola and Ada were this. 

I would recommend this series for anyone to try, especially people who prefer to have weaknesses and bad character traits in the cast.
