Star Wars: Most Wanted

by Rae Carson

Confession---I love that they have some of our fave YA authors penning Star Wars backstories. The newest one is, of course, timed perfectly with the release of SOLO (which I haven't seen yet, but so nervous, guys---Han Solo was my childhood!!♥♥♥), and written by the amazing Rae Carson. WANT.
