He licked his lips. ‘Well, if you want my opinion-‘
‘I don’t,‘ she said. ‘I have my own.'

I enjoyed this book, but there was something inconsistent about it. Perhaps the plot and pace were great, but the descriptions read like a technical manual, or the characters' behaviour wasn't believable. You could try it and see what you think.
