Maybe this book just wasn't for me. Like 95% of the time I had no idea what was going on. I feel like it was all over the place and the end kinda just meandered around and with no discernable plot.
Spoiler: I thought it would have been about grief but then it went to this weird sex cannibalism route that I still don't understand. The first part was about grief, but after they cut of M's stump there was a whole lot of nothing, a time skip of like 7 years, and then M being even more of a horrible monster creature thing and everyone making excuses for him.
