I could relate to how dedicated she is to science as a means of honing her expectations and as a means of really understanding the world around her,” Yara Shahidi told People magazine of her character. "So many of us in her life have let her down, so she turns to science and the details of gravity and stars as a manner of never feeling disappointed once more because those are things that aren’t going to enormously exchange when she wakes up the next day."
