Ambrosia is a teenager who is about to enter adulthood. She is in awe of her mother's writing skills and is inspired by literature. She expresses herself through poetry. As a mother of two girls, her innocence and profound thoughts resonate with me. She dedicates her work to those who, like her, find solace in the woods. Her book, The Dreamers Who Forgot to Fall Asleep, consists of three parts, each introduced and closed with famous quotes. The three sections are titled "Everything in Between," "The Language of the Poets," and "The Dreamers Who Forgot to Fall Asleep," with the latter being my personal favorite and the focus of the book.

She begins by drawing a comparison between herself and a book—one that is willing to share every part of itself with the reader, form a bond with them, and remain treasured in their memories forever. She describes how being in the woods brings her a sense of inner peace and how various disguises can be perplexing. She enjoys the tranquility of silence as much as the chaos around her. She emphasizes that the journey counts, not the destination, and is open to change. These are just a few of her thoughts from the first part of the book. I suggest you read it to discover more.

I appreciated the simplicity and tone of the writing. The author conveyed her emotions well, and I found myself relating to several parts. The section that stood out to me the most was about the author's mother and how she may disapprove of her poetry. However, I am sure the author's mother is proud of her work. The author's thoughts are relevant. Without a doubt, there will be something specific for every reader, irrespective of their age.

It is admirable that Ambrosia has chosen to write about her emotions. The teenage years are a crucial time in one's life, as hormones can make emotions fragile and susceptible to peer pressure. Adolescents are also at the stage of exploring new experiences and making decisions that can impact their futures.

I did not find any errors in the book. However, after reading the Kindle version, I noticed that the subsections within the chapters were presented only as plain text. A few pages had only one or two sentences, and I am not sure if the Kindle version was meant to include any absent imagery. Adding a little imagery or basic sketches would undoubtedly enhance the book's overall mood. I rate this book four out of five stars only because of this aspect.

This book is recommended for mature readers as it contains profanity. If you're looking for a quick, stimulating, and thought-provoking read, then this book is perfect for you. The poems accurately capture the mental state that comes with growing up, making them relatable to readers of the same age group. The author's writing style is thought-provoking, and her poems encourage deep reflection. Parents may also find it helpful to gain insight into their children's thoughts and emotions. I am excited to read more from this young and talented author.

Expressing yourself at different stages of life always gives a sense of liberation. It's good that the author was able to achieve that with poetry. Well written review Seetha

It is great to see someone about to enter adulthood being interested in literature, writing, and semi-seclusion in the woods. Not all teenagers are phubbers, as it is commonly believed. Being open with emotions is another plus!

[Anu Anand]

It’s beautiful to see a young writer express her emotions so openly through poetry. Her journey sounds sincere and heartfelt. I’m not much of a poetry fan, but I’m genuinely curious to explore the talent of this young writer. Thank you for sharing this detailed review. @Seetha E

This review was good. I don't usually read poetry, but this was heart touching. Thak you for the review.

[Helen Waziri]

I really appreciated the part of the review where the author talks about the simplicity and tone of Ambrosia's writing, especially the section about her relationship with her mother. It seems like that part really gives a personal touch to the book, and I love how relatable it is for those of us who have experienced similar emotions growing up. It's nice to see how the author is able to capture such a fragile stage in life so beautifully

[Etimbuk Eshiet]

This review beautifully captures the emotional depth of the book. I love how you highlighted the author’s ability to express teenage emotions with such maturity. It sounds like a heartfelt and reflective read—thanks for sharing!
