The amount of training Arya got in the book would be no where enough to fight Asha in a straight out dual similar to how Arya would not have went toe to toe against Brienne with just slashing at thin air for couple of years with piece of sticks before going to bed instead of full sparring training.
The training shown in the book so far would make Arya a decent assassin (gathering info, acting different roles, functioning in darkness) but definitely not a super assassin out of no where like in the show.
I used to love her until she became this arrogant smug girl who somehow got super lethal after little training.
Book Asha (Yara) would have murdered Arya with words if nothing else:
"I am unwed," announced Left-Hand Lucas Codd.
"And for good reason," Asha said. "All women do despise the Codds as well. Don't look at me so mournful, Lucas. You still have your famous hand." She made a pumping motion with her fist.
Codd cursed, till the Crow's Eye put a hand upon his chest. "Was that courteous, Asha? You have wounded Lucas to the quick."
"Easier than wounding him in the prick. I throw an axe as well as any man, but when the target is so small . . ."
"This girl forgets herself," snarled Pinchface Jon Myre. "Balon let her believe she was a man."
"Your father made the same mistake with you." said Asha.
