Tally is finally one of them. A special. A fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. She thought they were a rumor, but seeing everything crystal clear now, Tally knows she's not dreaming. Tally is now frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, and breathtakingly fast. Nobody is getting in her way anymore, not even her ex-boyfriend, David.

In Specials, the story follows Tally throughout her struggles to not be repulsed by anybody that isn't Special. She tries to fight the programming in her head that makes her feel superior over her boyfriend, Zane, but in the end just ends up hurting him. Burdened with the guilt of not being able to look at him in the face, Tally has to make the decision of following her heart or following her head.
This book had a definite finality to it. It is my second favorite out of the series.
