When a friend asks to return a gift that she gave you - what do you do??

My friend bought a book in my field of study and gave it to me when she realized that she does not needed. It was an expensive book worth 250 so I told her several times that I dont want it but she insisted, so I accepted. Now, several months later she asked me to return the book as she find the images in book helpful ( when she is in completely different field and the images in book are unlikely to be helpful to her). Why did she give me a gift only to ask for it back? It felt rude to me.

This is a tough one because I never had this happen before like why buy something and ask to return it because idk anyone who does that

Yeah, it is an odd and rude thing to do. If I were in your shoes I'd just give it back. Not worth the fuss and ill feeling, unless it's likely to be very useful to you.
