Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman by Karen Karbo
3.0
This is not the book to read if you have basically zero knowledge of Coco Chanel; however, this is not to say that you won’t be able to appreciate the lessons proffered by the author.
At first, I was a little annoyed at the author’s quest to buy a Chanel jacket on eBay. But when she purchased the mulberry boucle in Paris (Chanel’s remnants), I finally understood her desire to own a small piece of this remarkable woman’s haute couture.
The last chapter was my favorite - written in the Old Testament style - I laughed up until (appropriately) no. 5. That one really got me.
