Same feelings, the first volume is great in its own right; the second I finished out of principle. I felt it lacking the introspection and reminiscence of the first book, which OP and I seem to agree were some of the stronger elements. That was probably part of the point in telling about teenage years, but still I just couldn't turn any more pages
