A very strange story, very original but with some significant difficulties. I would say that parts of it would rate B+++, but that the incomprehensible parts would have to drag the overall rating down to about B - - -. The main focus is romance / sex.
My rating system:
Since Goodreads only allows 1 to 5 stars (no half-stars), you have no option but to be ruthless. I reserve one star for a book that is a BOMB - or poor (equivalent to a letter grade of F, E, or at most D). Progressing upwards, 2 stars is equivalent to C (C -, C or C+), 3 stars (equals to B - or B), 4 stars (equals B+ or A -), and 5 stars (equals A or A+). As a result, I maximize my rating space for good books, and don't waste half or more of that rating space on books that are of marginal quality.
As I said above, I would rate this story B - - - overall, which translates to a Goodreads score of 3 stars. If we had half stars, then 2 1/2 stars would be much more accurate, but Goodreads said half stars gives them the heebie-jeebies.
