Happens Quote by Chris Pavone
““This is how it happens: you spend your life reading, reading, and reading more, waiting, waiting, and waiting for something to be incredible. Each manuscript you start could be it, but thousands upon thousands aren't. And then one day, always hoped-for but never expected, there it is.””
