Gomez came to the project after reading the book in her teen years.

"I just believed in what it was -- when I read the book, I thought that it was something that I could relate to my fans in particular. I see it constantly from kids who are authentic and telling me what they feel and what they go through," Gomez said at a panel for the show in February. Though she was originally in the conversation about playing Hannah, Gomez said she can't imagine anyone but Langford in that role now.

"It just worked out the way it was supposed to and I'm glad I got to still watch it happen."
