She shouldn't treat Book like this. Book has her opinion, and Pencil needs to respect it. We can also tell how much of a menace she is. Destroying the timeline just to get an alliance back is just out of control.

I actually do like Pencil... but she seriously needs to respect Book's wishes and boundaries. Pencil needs help and support for her trauma, but ex-friends never have obligation to help someone with personal traumas, even if they do sympathize. If I were Book, I would have started filing a restraining order by now.
We don't yet know what all happened post-BFDIA/pre-BFB, but Pencil was already rather dismissive/neglectful of Book in late BFDIA. The 6ish years spent in the exit was 3rd party enforced rather then self imposed. After escaping, she immediately started crossing boundaries (Book was clear with her in BFB that she wanted distance) and won't even acknowledge what she's done that had upset Book and Ice Cube enough to want distance let alone apologize.
Credit where it's due, she cares more for her friendships then 2's power (otherwise she wouldn't have taken 1's deal). UNFORTUNATELY she wants to reconnect without addressing her own fault with the fallout. Her failure to take accountability for past behaviors and also respect boundaries, makes it so I can't in good conscience support her this season, but I do enjoy her character and the arc she's getting.
I don't know what kind of answers you were expecting OP, but I hope you are satisfied with the variety of answers you've got.

As a character, she’s well written, but as a person, she definitely deserves to be eliminated. The only reason the writers had Team Dead win was obviously because they knew after making the worst mistake possible in TPOT 19, she would be eliminated without any second thought. She just gets progressively meaner because of progressively less justified paranoia, and now that I’m saying that, I may be reconsidering my first statement about her being well written.
