4.0

i don't have much to say about this one, probably because i crammed the last 7ish hours on 1.5x speed today and my brain is no longer forming coherent thoughts. very, very british, especially the humor. pretty enjoyable. listening to this sort of book on audio always leaves me a bit nonplussed and confused, but i think i got most of what happened. the characters were very fleshed out and had their own believable traits and backstories. i enjoyed that osman didn't make them all these helpless old people and instead gave them agency and courage. i'm definitely interested in continuing to the next book.
