Imagine if you could meet your younger self - what advice would you give her? That's exactly what happens to 31-year-old Charlotte Merryweather. Charlotte has come a long way over the past 10 years - she runs her own PR company, wears great clothes; is about to enter the property market with boyfriend Miles; and religiously follows all sorts of dietary advice. When Charlotte spots her 21-year-old self driving her VW Beetle around town, she follows herself and meets up with Lottie - a girl still dreaming of being a writer, who lives in a slobby apartment, parties hard - and worse smokes, suntans and wears PVC trousers. As Charlotte tries to stop her younger self from making all sorts of mistakes, such as having a one-night stand with rock singer Billy Romani, it seems Lottie has some advice that the 30-something should heed.
Alexandra Potter's Who's That Girl? is being released in the US early next year under a different title, The Two Lives of Miss Charlotte Merryweather. The story is about successful PR agency owner Charlotte who meets her 10-year-younger self while out driving in her VW convertible. She tries to stop 21-year-old Lottie from making all sorts of mistakes, such as smoking, suntanning and sleeping with rock singer Billy Romani.
