Seventeen-year-old Jules Edwards thought he was ordinary. He had a family, a home, a life he understood. Until a viral news broadcast and a DNA test turned everything upside down.
Kidnapped as a baby, Jules is forced to leave behind the only life he’s ever known and return to a family of strangers — the Rosemarys — who are still grieving the son they just lost. Jules’s identical twin, Jack.
Now Jules is living in Jack’s shadow. He’s sleeping in his dead brother’s room. Dodging Jack’s ex-girlfriend. Inheriting his friends and routines — and navigating a media circus that has dubbed him “Rosemary Boy.”
Told with honesty and heart, Amy Coomer’s latest novel is a deeply moving exploration of identity, grief, and belonging. It’s about what happens when the life you’ve known falls apart, and you have to find out who you are all over again.
Early readers are calling Rosemary Boy “raw, tender, and unforgettable.” We couldn’t agree more.
📘 Rosemary Boy is available from Tuesday, October 28th, via our Popcorn Press imprint.
