Deadline | 3 comments Both characters mentioned are girls. The novel was filled with charming illustrations in a comic format with pink, purple, white, and black as their color scheme. The artstyle had thick line art and the style from what i remember was close to how the Scott Pilgrim comic looked like.

(Take this with a grain of salt) The main character and her best friend had both worked on it together, the main character doing the illustration for the story and her best friend working on it.

Read this book in around 2015-ish.

Plot (with some spoilers): After her best friend's disappearance and the timeskip, the main character does a small amount of investigation and ends up stumbling upon the main character who seems to be involved in something really shady? Former best friend and main character can't pick up from where they left off when they were last together and there's a disconnect between the both of them. They still care for one another though, and main character tries her best to save her former best friend from her unsavory situation.

Ann | 166 comments This made me think of the cover of I Am Princess X, but the summary doesn't sound quite right: Years after writing stories about a superheroine character she created with a best friend who died in a tragic car accident, sixteen-year-old May is shocked to see stickers, patches, and graffiti images of the superheroine appearing around Seattle.
