The Book Feud

By: Amber Eve

Narrated by: Laura Greaves

Previously published as "The Ghostwriter of Christmas Past"

How do you move on when the whole world is obsessed with your breakup?

Ten years ago, Holly Hart’s ex-boyfriend, Elliot Sinclair, turned their relationship into a bestselling novel that transformed her quiet English village into a bustling tourist hotspot. Worse, the book’s fame came with a fictionalized version of their story—and zero credit for Holly’s role in helping him write it.

Now, every holiday season, Holly can’t escape the reminders of her past, with visitors flocking to her town and asking if she’s “the girl from the story.”

When Holly lands her first big ghostwriting job—a Christmas romance—she seizes the chance to reclaim her narrative and take a jab at Elliot. But her plans go awry when Elliot unexpectedly returns to town, charming as ever and working on a mysterious new book of his own.

As Holly navigates forced proximity with the man who broke her heart, she begins to unravel secrets about their past that don’t quite add up. With timelines shifting between their whirlwind romance and their icy reunion, Holly starts to wonder: did she ever truly know Elliot?

Perfect for fans of second-chance romance. The Book Feud is a love story about facing the past, embracing the present, and discovering the magic of love all over again.

Great listen.

I absolutely loved listening to this story. The characters and storyline was very entertaining. Y'all are gonna love it too. So good. Enjoy.

Holly

Holly is a ghostwriter, however she dreams of publishing her own books. Holly lives in Bramblebury, home of over the top Christmas spirit. Years before her ex’s novel was a smashing hit (The Snow Globe) which put Bramblebury on the map. However, her ex’s book is about Holly, and does not really tell things as they were (leaving some hurt feelings here). Holly’s agent lets her know she was requested to be a ghostwriter for a novel. This is her chance! Suddenly, the ex is back in town, at Christmas!
Overall this is a cute and sweet story. It was well written. I was able to envision the people and events as the story unfolds. I found myself cheering for Holly, to finally get her chance! Some of the people are real characters! I bet they would be a blast to work with. The narrator did a good job, voice enhancing the story. I received a free copy of the audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Sweet do over

Not only was the story a warm Christmas themed love story, it was narrated with emotion and feeling. As a listener I was drawn into Holly and Elliot’s missed opportunities to “get it right” and eventual happy ending. Well done!!.

The custest ghost...writer of Christmas...

4.5* - Rounded up to 5...

This was a super sweet book! Laura Greaves does an amazing job bringing the characters to life, and really pulling you into the story.

Holly as a grinch hit a bit close to home with me this year. lol... But I loved Elliot's character, and his gestures over the years were SOOOOO sweet! SO many fun scenes as well...

And the heart-wrenching scenes certainly hit a bit hard as well...

A really great and fun listen (or read)...

The Ghostwriter of Christmas Past!

This is a good story about Elliot and Holly, who once dated. Holly, lives in the town of Bramblebury, and is a bit of a scrooge, especially after Elliot. They dated, who wrote and book, which became a movie and never looked back. The problem is the book was about them. Now years later she thinks she seems him. then gets an opportunity to be a ghost writer and maybe get a dash of revenge in the process. This is a good story that I really enjoyed, especially how it developed.
