The List of Good Deeds is a heartwarming and uplifting novel that reminds readers how even the smallest acts of kindness can create meaningful change. The story is beautifully written, with relatable characters, genuine emotions, and a gentle sense of humor that makes it difficult to put down. Every chapter leaves you feeling inspired and hopeful without becoming overly sentimental.
The pacing is smooth, and the author's storytelling creates a comforting reading experience from beginning to end. I especially appreciated the positive message about compassion, friendship, and personal growth. The characters feel authentic, and their journeys are both engaging and emotionally satisfying.
If you're looking for a light, feel-good novel that will leave you smiling long after you finish the last page, this is an excellent choice. It's the perfect book to relax with after a busy day and a wonderful reminder that kindness truly matters. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys uplifting fiction with memorable characters and an inspiring message.

This book started out very slow for me by about 70% in it really started to pick up and I started to love it 😊. There is no 🌶️ in this aside from a kiss. It takes place in Israel 🇮🇱. But also at some parts we see NYC. Text message convos between the FMC and the MMC are the sweetest ❤️.

So touching suspenseful
And heartbreaking, especially when Segev threw his phone 20 stories down to crash on the pavement. Would the lovers connect? Would the childhood and now adult friends stay loyal to one another? Would man and woman connect. A beautifully written story of human connection, flawed and perfect
Loved this story.

A Memorable Novel About the Ripple Effect of Good Deeds...
Nir Stern's The List of Good Deeds gets under your skin in the way only the best novels do — quietly, and then all at once. It's a story about mystery and friendship, yes, but really it's about the small things: a choice made in childhood that echoes for decades, a stranger's kindness that lands harder than it should, a wound you didn't know you were still carrying. Stern sets it all against the grain and hum of Israeli life — dusty landscapes, city noise, the specific weight of a place that feels lived-in — and somehow makes it feel both deeply intimate and wide open, like something you'd watch through a cinema screen with your breath held.
The enigma of "Mr. Nice Guy" keeps you turning pages, sure, but it's the characters themselves that stay with you after you've closed the book. They're real in that rare, aching way — flawed and generous and quietly heroic in turns. Stern writes with the kind of warmth that doesn't perform itself; it just is, woven into every scene.
Part suspense, part moral reckoning, part love letter to human complexity — this one lingers.
