I Was Meant For More

I Was Meant For More Novel Review

I Was Meant For More is a completed imagination and coming-of-age story about a young woman who discovers that the people closest to her have secretly tried to change the course of her future.

Sonia has spent eighteen years growing up alongside Silas Lind. Their families are close, they attend the same schools, and Silas has always promised that they would stay together forever.

But everything changes when Rachel Morgan enters their lives.

Rachel becomes close to Silas, and the three of them eventually become known as the Three Musketeers.

Sonia has always dreamed of attending Defense Technology Institute and pursuing aerospace engineering. However, because Silas and Rachel plan to attend Bradford University, she gives up her own dream to stay with them.

She never realizes that the friendship she trusted is slowly becoming a trap.

A Message From Her Future Self

Seven minutes before the college application system closes, Sonia receives a shocking video.

The sender is Sonia herself, but fifteen years older.

Her future self warns her that Silas changed her college application to a local community college because Rachel did not want Sonia interfering with their relationship.

The older Sonia also reveals something even more painful: after giving up aerospace engineering, she never gets the career she always dreamed about, despite working hard and eventually reaching graduate school.

Her final warning changes everything.

“You could've gone up there. You were meant to go up there.”

With only one minute remaining, Sonia rushes into her application portal.

She discovers that her application really has been changed.

Instead of accepting the future Silas and Rachel planned for her, Sonia changes her application to Defense Technology Institute.

Silas and Rachel's Betrayal

Sonia soon realizes that the college application change was not an innocent mistake.

She discovers evidence showing that someone logged into her account from an internet cafe near Silas' apartment.

Rather than confronting Silas immediately, Sonia protects herself by saving screenshots of the altered application and the login information.

When Silas and Rachel visit her home, they behave as though nothing has happened.

Rachel even tells Sonia a story about a fictional couple secretly changing a childhood friend's college application to separate her from the male lead.

Sonia recognizes the cruelty behind the story and gives Rachel an answer she will not forget.

She makes it clear that destroying another person's future to make a relationship feel secure is not love.

The Truth Comes Out at Graduation

The truth eventually comes out during the graduation celebration.

Rachel publicly reveals that Sonia's application was changed to a local community college.

She tries to make the betrayal sound like nothing more than a Truth or Dare prank.

Silas admits that he changed the application, but instead of accepting responsibility, he blames Sonia for failing to check the application before the deadline.

Sonia listens carefully and records the entire conversation.

At that moment, she understands that the boy she has known for eighteen years is no longer someone she can trust.

She walks away without giving either of them the reaction they expect.

The Admission Results Change Everything

When the admission results are released, Silas and Rachel proudly announce their acceptance into Bradford University.

Rachel uses the opportunity to mock the person she believes has been left behind.

But then Sonia's teacher posts the announcement that changes the entire situation.

Sonia has been accepted into the Aerospace Engineering program at Defense Technology Institute.

The university they dismissed as a community college turns out to be the place where Sonia's real future begins.

Instead of explaining herself to Silas and Rachel, Sonia simply lets the results speak for themselves.

Sonia Finally Chooses Herself

Life at Defense Technology Institute is not easy.

Sonia enters an environment filled with talented students, difficult assignments, advanced research, and intense competition.

For the first time, she is surrounded by people who are just as ambitious as she is.

Instead of being intimidated, Sonia works harder.

She joins a research project with Ethan and Maya and begins building her knowledge of aerospace engineering from the ground up.

Her determination eventually catches the attention of Professor Adrian Cole, the director of an advanced propulsion research program.

When he asks why she chose aerospace engineering, Sonia gives him a simple answer: she does not want to spend her life wondering what she could have done.

Professor Cole gives her a chance.

That chance becomes the beginning of something much bigger.

The Mystery of Project Horizon

While working in the research laboratory, Sonia discovers a photograph that appears to connect her present life with the mysterious future shown in the video.

The photograph features an older version of Sonia standing beside an aerospace research team.

The project is called Project Horizon.

Even more disturbing, Sonia discovers an old photograph showing a younger version of herself connected to the same research program.

A handwritten message appears on the back of the photograph.

The handwriting looks exactly like Sonia's.

This discovery makes her realize that the future video was not simply a warning about Silas and Rachel.

There is a much deeper connection between Sonia, Professor Cole, and Project Horizon.

Professor Cole Reveals the Secret

Professor Cole eventually tells Sonia about the history of Project Horizon.

Fifteen years earlier, the university had worked on an experimental aerospace propulsion program that was eventually abandoned after a critical test failure.

Officially, Project Horizon no longer exists.

Unofficially, however, some researchers never stopped working on it.

Professor Cole gives Sonia an opportunity to become part of that work.

But first, she must prove that she is ready.

Sonia accepts the challenge.

She studies harder than ever and eventually earns a place on the research team.

The Real Meaning Behind the Future Video

The greatest revelation comes when Sonia finally learns why her future self sent the message.

Older Sonia explains that she once believed Silas had ruined her life.

But eventually, she realized that Silas was only one part of the problem.

The bigger mistake was allowing someone else to convince her that her dreams were not important.

After giving up aerospace engineering, older Sonia spent years wondering what might have happened if she had chosen herself.

Eventually, she found Project Horizon again and helped rebuild the research program.

But she could never recover the years she had lost.

That is why she sent the message back.

She could not rewrite everything.

She could only give her younger self one chance to make a different choice.

Why Sonia's Journey Is So Satisfying

Sonia's transformation is what makes I Was Meant For More compelling.

At the beginning, she is willing to sacrifice her lifelong dream simply because she wants to remain close to Silas.

After discovering the truth, she stops measuring her future according to someone else's expectations.

She chooses education.

She chooses aerospace engineering.

She chooses hard work.

Most importantly, she chooses herself.

Her revenge is not about destroying Silas and Rachel.

Her greatest revenge is becoming everything they tried to prevent her from becoming.

Silas and Rachel Get Left Behind

Silas and Rachel eventually discover that Sonia has succeeded far beyond what they expected.

They attend Bradford University together, but their relationship does not bring them the perfect future they imagined.

Meanwhile, Sonia continues moving forward.

She becomes involved in advanced aerospace research and earns recognition for her work.

The people who once believed she belonged in a local community college can only watch as she builds the life she originally dreamed about.

By the time Silas tries to reconnect, Sonia has already moved on.

She no longer needs an apology or explanation.
