Help!! Free verse novel vs. regular novel style?

I'm considering making my story free verse, it's a novel. But would it annoy readers? So which flows better?

I watched the thinness of her tall frame
collapse to the floor.
She would enjoy that I had said tiny
instead of curvy.
She thanked her starving modeling years
for the figure she had.
She twirled her bony fingers
through her loose brown hair
that flowed with perfection down her back.
As she searched the room,
the glow of the brown pearls she saw life through
made eye contact with me.
She had eyes so immense
no one held eye contact with her for long.
However, I did—
I always did.

Thoughts on the style??
