The Confessions of Max Tivoli - Andrew Sean Greer
From Play.com: Max Tivoli is writing the story of his life. He is nearly seventy years old, but he looks as if he is only seven - for Max is ageing backwards. The tragedy of Max's life was to fall in love at seventeen with Alice, a girl his own age - but to her, Max looks like an unappealingly middle-aged man. However when Max reaches the age of thirty-five, with an appearance to match, he has his second chance at love. But tragedy befalls this star-crossed couple, and desperate measures are required.
Another good read! I liked the way that Max and Alice met at various times during their lives, but things bever quite worked out for them which was a bit tragic. I could kind of guess from the start of the book that things wouldn't end well, but I still wanted to read to find out what happens. I did feel a bit sorry from Max's oldest Friend Hughie as he wasn't treated very well!
