Praise for Down with the Shipmans:

 “Meg Mitchell Moore is my own go-to for beach reading, and Down with the Shipmans is a pure delight. It’s a family drama with three sisters, some very charismatic dogs, and a glorious setting. What sets Meg’s books apart is her writing. It’s quick-witted and self-aware and filled with specificity in all the best ways. I promise you will LOVE this—and all of Meg’s other books as well.”
—Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A deep dive into family, legacy, and moving on, Down with the Shipmans is the sort of summery book that you want to both binge and savor. It’s wise, warmhearted, and beautifully written, and I wish I could read it again for the first time. Five big stars from me.”
—Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Dolly All the Time


"Meg Mitchell Moore's perceptive latest is the absolute best novel I've read about sisters since Ann Napolitano's Hello Beautiful. Moore has a way of bringing you into the heart of her characters and layering her unputdownable story with depth and humor, honesty and insight. Get ready to laugh, cry and fall in love with the Shipman sisters as they grapple with the death of their mother, learn each other's secrets and say goodbye to the beloved family beach house. I loved this book so much. Sure to be the number one must read of summer.”
Brooke Lea Foster, author of Our Last Vineyard Summer 

 “Down with the Shipmans is a timely and compelling family drama written with hope, humor, and a lot of heart. The water is cold. The tensions are high. The quarters are tight. A perfect New England beach read!”
—Elizabeth Castellano, author of Save What’s Left
