This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Thank you so much, everybody, for joining us on this Park Hopper episode.

And we've got a very special one today for a number of reasons.

One, because, well, we already watched Read and Weep.

And we talked about Red and Weep, but also because we're meeting something that is somewhat of a rarity in the world, a friend of Sabrina's.

I'm kidding.

I love you so much.

Wow.

I had to.

I had to do it.

Not only a friend of Sabrina's,

but somebody who has worked with Sabrina on a pretty cool project,

which we're going to get into.

I'm not going to hold up anymore. You know, I love you, Sabrina. Hi. Can you please help us welcome author Julia DeVillers.

Hi, Julia. I've heard so much about you. Sabrina talks about you glowingly and said you had such a wonderful time working together. And we're going to get into all of that, of course. But we have to start with, well, why, I mean, you're here for a number of reasons, but we watched read it and weep. Well, we did. And we loved, we liked reading and Weep a lot. And we have several questions.

And by that, I mean a whole bunch of questions about the project.

And just curiously, how did the entire thing come to fruition?

Where did this come from?

So the short answer is I guess read it and Weep actually came from my brain, my imagination,

which is kind of wild.

If you can find it, one moment you're, you know, making up an alter ego the next minute, I guess it comes on the screen.
