The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman

A "flip through read" this book is witty and fun, moving and historically insightful. What made Coco endearing is her rags to riches life and how extremely flawed she was. She compulsively lied about her past, and then lied about having lied, and then disavowed the lie about the lie and she did it all with style and grace.
