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.

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