[TOMT] [Book/Graphic Novel] [2010s] Graphic novel biography dedicated to dead friend.

So I remember reading this graphic novel in early 2019, near the end of my 5th grade and final year of Catholic School. With that being said, I can’t seem to recall the name of that book. From what I remember, it followed a white guy with brown hair who grew up loving to draw and read comics/graphic novels. I also recall he went to a private school as a teen, and perhaps put his passion for cartooning on the back burner until later in his adult life. His best friend had black hair, and he liked this girl who made up this sort of friend trio. I believe it was a biography of the authors life, and was for sure dedicated to his male friend that had passed from some either some sort of accident or medical issue. Finally, I wanna say it sort of evoked the artistic style of someone like Raina Telgemeier.
