<\/p>\nThe art of writing a book is a difficult process, both physically and mentally, and that's why some, like Millie Bobby Brown, choose to utilise a ghostwriter, but that doesn't earn the respect of Ulrika Jonsson.<\/p>\n
On September 12, the actress, who rose to fame, starring as Eleven in Stranger Things, released her debut novel \u2014 Nineteen Steps.<\/p>\n
The book is inspired by real-life events that took place in the 19-year-old's family back in World War II.<\/p>\n

The story aims to showcase that love can blossom even in the darkest days, with the main character, 18-year-old, Nellie Morris, making the most out of difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With her family hoping she ends up with Billy, the air raid warden next door, everything changes when Ray, a hunky American, arrives on the scene and makes Nellie's heart flutter.<\/p>\n
However, her happiness is brief, as she is soon rendered devastated by an accident during an air raid, which threatens to tear her entire family apart.<\/p>\n
The book is inspired by Brown's Nanny Ruth, who survived the crash and told her granddaughter everything she could recall from that heartwrenching period.<\/p>\n

The novel has gone down a storm with reviewers, who've rated it five-stars on Waterstones and given it a 95% approval rating on Google. However, that's not enough to seal the approval of Jonsson.<\/p>\n
Having written two books with a third on the way all by herself, the TV presenter isn't a massive fan of ghostwriters.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Sun, she swiped at Millie for "not quite writing" the book.<\/p>\n
She said: "The story is very much hers \u2013 it stemmed from her deep relationship with her grandmother and the stories she told the young Millie over the years."<\/p>\n

The 57-year-old continued: "Critics say it\u2019s a corker of a book, and I really look forward to reading it. But I think it should be a bit clearer when stars use ghostwriters \u2013 in whatever capacity.<\/p>\n
"Sounds like Millie had a huge amount of input into this novel, but the first draft was, in fact, written by someone else. I have no objection to ghostwriters \u2013 it provides a fruitful living for many." <\/p>\n
But ultimately she slammed Millie and other celebs for saying they've written a book when they haven't penned it themselves.<\/p>\n
Ulrika finished by branding it "another cash cow". <\/p>\n
