I love Toff and I love fake dating and I love Christmas so really this should have been right up my street. I'm going to chock my thoughts on this book up to me not being in the right headspace to pick it up. I put it off a little waiting for the wintery season and when it finally came time I just wasn't in the mood so that definitely coloured my perception a little. I actually ended up quite enjoying this by the end but it was a slow starter for me. I love that Toff decided to narrate the audiobook herself but I didn't particularly enjoy her narration (again this spawns from my previous reads leaving so much to be desired and not being in quite the right headspace). All in all not a bad read but not a particularly great one either.

Quirky fun
You know what to expect when watching a comedy made by the Coen brothers, and Burn After Reading doesn't hold any surprises. It's ridiculous, yet still quite funny and pretty bizarre, all the while being fairly enjoyable.
The best thing about this film is the cast, they're phenomenal and look like they're having so much fun playing various types of idiotic people. Brad Pitt is downright hilarious although John Malkovich steals the show with some brilliant lines. The plot is silly but I think that's the point, and it's fun to watch these bumbling idiots do stupid things and the CIA's response to them. There are a decent amount of laugh out loud moments. For me I also enjoyed watching Linda's attempts at internet dating as sadly thats something I've experienced first hand! It's just an all round entertaining and silly film, and as long as you don't take it too seriously you should find it fairly enjoyable.

Predictable but good
Contains spoilers, click to show
Jodi is an abnormally tall girl at 6ft 1 and a half. Because of her height she is picked on by her peers at school and meeting guys is a challenge as they feel intimidated by her height,all except her friend Jack who is smitten with her.
One day an exchange student stig joins the school and jodi falls head over heals for this guy, making it her mission to get him to notice her. Only problem is he starts dating her nemesis kimmy who tells jodi to stay away from him in a typical bitch of the school cliche. Of course jodi doesn't stay away and her and stig eventually start hitting it off. Throughout the movie I felt torn between who I wanted jodi to end up with, but at the same it was predictable what the outcome would be from the onset if the movie. I enjoyed the movie though, I thought it was cute.
