Meg Mitchell Moore is my own go-to for beach reading, and Down With the Shipmans is a pure delight. I promise you will LOVE this--and all of Meg's other books as well. --Elin Hilderbrand
Down with the Shipmans is funny, insightful, and filled with characters you'll be rooting for. She's one of my favorite summer authors. --Emily Giffin
Moore is a dependable ingredient in any summer reading soufflé. The stakes are high, the drama is juicy and the views are sublime. --The New York Times
It's the week after July 4th, and the Shipman sisters are returning to their summer home on the New Hampshire coast for what they believe is a family reunion, the first without their late mother. But their tranquil setting quickly becomes a stage for drama when their father, Calvin, drops the bombshell news that he plans to sell the cherished beach house.
Mae, the youngest daughter, who has a newfound penchant for attracting trouble, is distraught, already dealing with her own emotional scars and a problematic rescue dog. Natalie, the middle sister and social media darling known for her seemingly idyllic life as a tradwife, is equally anxious, especially since her flawless public image is on the verge of imploding. Meanwhile, Jordan, the eldest, a high-powered crisis communications expert, is ready to be rid of the house so she can tend to her own professional disaster.
As old memories are stirred up and the sisters navigate both the packing of the house and their personal crises, the arrival of Calvin's new wife pushes Jordan, Natalie, and Mae to decide how far they're willing to go to preserve the Shipman bond.
Full of heart and humor, Down with the Shipmans is a d elicious summer read that explores the enduring power of family and sister connections.
