Status Updates From Don't Let It Break Your Heart

I hate that everybody just has to have some janky dumb nickname. Can we just give characters one normal name like people in real life do? Especially because this book is supposed to be somewhat realistic. I also hate that this book reads so maturely for being marketed as YA. It's like the author wrote an adult or new adult book, then just aged down the characters. These people do not act or talk like high schoolers.
