Ulrika Jonsson has slammed Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown over her use of a ghostwriter on her debut novel.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old\u2019s first tome Nineteen Steps was released last week and saw the star undertake a host of public appearances to promote it and explain how it was inspired by her family\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
She attended the launch of the book at the Hackney Empire on Tuesday with her fianc\u00e9 Jake Bongiovi, who is the son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi.<\/p>\n
While her name is the only one appearing on the cover following the launch she took to Instagram\u00a0to post a photo of herself with her ghostwriter Kathleen McGurl.<\/p>\n
She captioned it: \u201cA HUGE thank you to my collaborator – I couldn\u2019t have done this without you!\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n
