The Mara Dyer Trilogy.

“‘Fix me,’ I commanded him. ‘This thing, what I’ve done— there’s something wrong with me, Noah. Fix it.’ Noah’s expression broke my heart as he brushed my hair from my face, and skimmed the line of my neck. ‘I can’t.’ 'Why not?' I asked, my voice threatening to crack. Noah lifted both hands to my face, and held it. 'Because,' he said, 'you aren’t broken.' I say perfectly still, breathing slowly through my nose. Any sound would shatter me. I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying, but the tears welled anyway.” — The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

But the ones who get it," he said, lifting a hand to my face, "find it fascinating. Beautiful." He traced the shape of my mouth with his thumb. "Like you.”

“My theory: that Mara can manipulate events the way that I can manipulate cells.” ― Noah Shaw, The Evolution of Mara Dyer
