Book excerpt: After the success of her first book of poems— "the bliss of solitude", poet surbhi Islam makes a comeback with a romantic fiction, "she fell to rise in love". It is an enduring tale of love, pain, loss, gain, friendship and companionship. In this unusual and offbeat love story, mehek, a student, who is already struggling to gain a foothold in the small town she recently shifted to, hopelessly falls in love with Raghav, her computer teacher. All hell breaks loose as her efforts to win his heart end in a fiasco. Things begin to change for good when her friend Anand brings joy in her life and proposes her. Mehek accepts the proposal and embraces his love and affection. Raghav, who is in Bengali now, starts calling and textiles her. But why? What will mehek do now? Will she leave Anand for her first love, Raghav; or hold anand's hand as he supported her when she was left in lurch. "She fell to rise in love" Is a roller coaster ride of emotions.
