2.5 stars. The info was simple and good, but the writing style was repetitive and annoyed me at times. The way the author explained the increased risk for different diseases/illnesses caused by ACEs could've been done with more empathy and compassion for the audience, in my opinion; at times, the stats were very scary to read, as somebody who has a lot of health anxiety. The chapter around what you can do to heal was more positive, and probably the most helpful (not for me personally, but probably for someone who's a beginner to learning about trauma).
