That's annoying, but there's not much you can do, really. For a lot of people, a rec from a friend carries a lot of weight, but it depends on how well your tastes match and more importantly her perception of your judgment. Your tastes might match quite closely, but for some reason your word still doesn't carry much weight with her and that stings.

Try not to get too bitter. You're certainly allowed a cheerful "I'm so glad you finally read _____! It's one of my favorites."

The OP's bitterness is indeed a bit offputting, at the moment. Why not be just glad now they can finally talk about a book they and their friend have both read?

You have a point, but the OP's bitterness has a valid root cause, too. It sucks to have your opinion discounted by a friend. I suggested they try not to be too bitter not because they ought to feel happier, but because it wouldn't be productive and would only backfire on them.
